About the property:

Serenity in the Himalayas.

Waking up in the morning to have the first glimpse of those divine Himalayan peaks is pure joy, which you experience with ease at The Terraces, a boutique spa resort. Pine forests, Deodar trees, apple orchards and the terrace farms are waiting to enrapture you with their idyllic charms. The Terraces is a mountain lover’s home in Kanatal, a small hamlet in Uttarakhand. Kanatal is a kind of a place that persuades you to go around on your own to smell the succulence of fruits, feel the chill in the air and touch the purity of the verdure.Simply slip into the benignity of the mountains with any of finely done-up 20 rooms or the suite at the Terraces. While you get to escape the toils of your ‘urban’ life and slow down in the Himalayas, the Terraces resort ensures that you have all the modern comforts and enjoy the best of both the worlds.The dining is also in tune with nature. You can relish your favourite dishes while soaking in the balmy sunshine at the alfresco sitting area, which is adjoined to the indoor multi-cuisine restaurant. If that’s not enough, you also have the option of chilling out at the Terrace Café and the bar that are also open-air and have great views around. So, do bring along lots of ‘laziness’ with you to just loaf around and spend a lot of hours without purpose.The Terraces beseeches you to brush aside all your schedules, appointments and businesses, and give in to oblivion. Indulge in their customised spa treatments, the joy of which is heightened by stunning natural surroundings.Also, Kanatal has its share of adventures and offbeat experiences for you, such as the rural culture of Himalayan villages that you might want to explore, and then there are outdoor activities like trekking, rock climbing, river rafting and jeep safari that are sure to get you going.
