This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house provides an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk.

Excellent, I found Gayatri Niwas much more than my expectations, everything was marvelous, according to the name of this home stay "Gayatri Niwas - Luxury Private Room with Ensuite Bathroom - Lake View and Mountain View" I found everything accordingly with Nainital city view too. Foods were fresh cooked according our requests and very delicious and very hygienic because I had some stomach problems but due to the hygienic food I didn't have to face any problems. I like to say, "Gayatri Niwas is a home away from home." And I must have to say about Mr. Ashwini the owner of this Home Stay is a very good person, he is very laborious, courteous, helpful and respecting & understanding to guests. My best wishes for all the success and dreams of Mr. Ashwini.

    The location is excellent, with the heritage house being well-maintained. However, only basic amenities are provided and breakfast was tasty though. The property is about 2.5 km from the mall road, which is walkable. While a direct cab might charge between 400-600, I recommend walking to fully enjoy the scenic journey. Shared E-vehicle is also available at nainital main road. Google Maps provides accurate directions, and the locals in Nainital (All Pahadi folks) are very kind and helpful.

    This has to be one of the best places I've ever visited. This was my second time in Nainital and I'm sure that whenever I come back, this is going to be the place I'm going to stay in. It has got everything you need for a perfect staycation. Great internet, responsive and friendly hosts, arguably the best view with calming sounds. Pictures don't do the justice, you have to experience it. Jai is a great host, clear communication and always willing to help with anything possible during the stay.

    Dhara homestay is an excellent place to get away from city hustle and bustle. Come here for beautiful views, fresh organic food, and solitude. The family takes excellent care and are a great host. Things to do here, meditate, do yoga,go for nature walks, catch butterflies, spot beautiful hill birds,count stars,learn a bit of farming, cook on a camping stove, milk a cow and spend some time with yourself.Chat and giggle with village children, have tea , and samosa at village shops and talk with the local people.
