There are many excellent homestays and resorts ***** the same stretch of road, but after staying at Riverview Retreat and exploring the riverbed, I’m 100% convinced that there’s no place—not even the nearby Taj—that offers a view like this! Without a doubt, it’s the best view in the area. We visited at the end of October during the dry season, and it was an unforgettable experience to literally walk ***** the riverbed. If you're lucky, you might even witness tigers coming down to drink from the river, as the resort sits right across from the intersection of two hills where they sometimes appear. While we didn’t spot one ourselves, the staff showed us some incredible photos they've captured! The sunrise over this intersection is absolutely breathtaking, and waking up early to watch it from the deck is a must. Beyond the unbeatable location, the resort itself is stunning. The beautifully designed gardens, deck, and cottages made our 5-night stay thoroughly enjoyable. I never found myself bored for a moment. The food was fantastic, and there’s nothing quite like relaxing on the deck with a drink in hand, listening to the river and soaking in the peaceful ambiance. Worth every single rupee! Each night, there was live music, and one evening we were treated to a captivating Kumaoni dance performance that gave us a taste of the local culture. It was a memorable highlight of our stay. While I can't remember everyone’s name (and that’s on me), I have to give a special shoutout to Bala and Laxman, who were wonderful hosts. Their stories about the local cuisine, culture, and tiger encounters added so much richness to the experience. I’m already recommending this place to everyone I know—it’s truly one of a kind!
