The Crested Serpent Eagle is unmistakable with its large yellow eyes, streaked chest and broad, powerful frame. Often found quietly perched within dense forest canopies, it is more often heard before it is seen, its piercing whistle carrying through the Kumaoni woods.

At Mary Budden, meals are not hurried affairs. Mountain-grown ingredients and recipes shaped by generations come together in a way that is seasonal and rooted in the rhythms of Kumaon.

The Lodge was designed for those who like their comfort with a little quiet around it.

Set higher on the estate, with private en-suite rooms, warm light, fine views and fireplaces that make themselves useful by evening, it is a most agreeable retreat after a day in the hills.

The Wild Cat Brunch has a touch of the untamed about it. Set in the forest and inspired by Kumaon’s leopard, it begins with live grills, proceeds to a hot pot shaped by the season and is best taken with sharp mountain air and a proper appetite.

Khazanchi Mohalla & Paltan Bazar is best taken on foot and with a little patience. In Almora’s old marketplaces, carved wooden façades, lime-washed walls and the day’s trade carry on side by side, making it a most rewarding way to encounter the town in its proper character.

The route into Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary is the sort one takes to improve both pulse and outlook.

It moves through oak, deodar and rhododendron, with the Himalayas appearing in stately intervals, enough to remind you that some paths are best taken on foot.

In Binsar, the sky stretches vast and unrestrained, its stars beyond counting, like a quiet indulgence best observed in solitude, under the watch of old woods and older silences.

“Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
- Buddha

This is a thought we hold dear at Mary Budden Estate.

Happiness, after all, is rarely found in grand display, but in the quieter things passed from one to another: a warm cup, a well-laid table, a fire at dusk, a view called over one’s shoulder. Here in the hills, we have always believed that what is most precious grows only more abundant when shared.

Rooted in Binsar, Mary Budden Estate has always belonged more to the mountain than to design. That is its character: shaped by the land, steadied by the forest and entirely at home in these hills.
