Faraway Cottages, Auli

I have made amazing memories staying here with my family. It has amazing Mountain View restaurant and cottages which are made with love and awesome touch of interior designing. We really loved the location and we experienced snow storm as well and certify this place for everyone who wants to get lost in the serene beauty of this place has to offer. We were helped by the staff to get off the slopes in times of snow storm and which really made us feel secured. I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone whether it be family, friends or couples.

View, Food, Cleanliness, Access ... everything is top notch. I have reduced 2 stars on account of lack of humanity in the manager Naval. We checked out and went for skeeing. On the way back my son got kinda frostbite in his leg. So we requested him for a room just for 30 mins so that we can give hot water treatment to our son. First, Naval kept staring at us without any clue, then he outrightly refused. We asked him are all your rooms occupied. He didn't have an answer for that. And it was very clear from the number of cars outside that the hotel was not on full occupancy. I felt what kinda human is he who refuses to help a kid. Anyway...

Faraway Cottages is undoubtedly the best place I have stayed till date. This place in real is better than the photos you see. The rooms are amazing and offer breathtaking views, food is mind blowing and the service and staff are outstanding and super helpful. We stayed 3 nights in the property and it seemed less. Wish we could extend our stay. The food is super awesome and every meal we had was amazing. Would rate 10 out of 5 in all aspects. Thanks for the amazing experience !

Look no further if your idea of a perfect vacation is a scenic resort feel nestled with snow capped peaks all around. The staff will make your stay as comfortable as they can and are a call away all the time. You will be surprised by their warmth.

Tucked away in one of the most beautiful locations in the north of India (Uttarakhand), this is one of those hidden gems which will keep you coming back for more. Here are some of the points that make Faraway cottages a must visit : 1) The View: If you are a person that appreciates true natural beauty like myself, you will get to feast your eyes on majestic unobstructed 360 degree views of the himalayas all around you. And no amount of this will ever be enough. It leaves a last impression on you and the sense of amazement stays with you every time you look around. There are also sprawling views of fields and farms below. 2) The Food: We went in with no expectation about the food at a cottage, as we tend to mostly explore the restaurants in the area to experience local culture. Not here. The unassuming cozy restaurant offers some seriously good dishes which will have you licking your fingers after every meal. It has to be something to do with the water in the area, but EVERY SINGLE MEAL was DELICIOUS. So much so that I met with the chef and made sure he felt my appreciation. 3) The People: The hospitality of the Pahadi(mountain people) is well known, and is exemplified at this this location. Such kind, welcoming and warm people - this I felt was truly the best part of visiting Uttarakhand in general but in particular this cottage. I wanted to specifically mention Naval Kishore, the manager - always made sure we felt at home and tended to our every need Our server, who treated us like royalty every time we came for a meal. You are truly made to feel special. All this said, the only drawback of this property is the approach and the roads. The roads in the region are generally sub par as you'd expect from such a location and I would definitely recommend hiring a local cab who is familiar with the terrain. Our driver had little to no problem driving a Swift Dzire through these roads, but it is not the most comfortable ride. This is the only reservation I would have for otherwise a splendid experience which I will cherish for my lifetime.

I visited this beautiful property with family while returning from Badrinath. I stayed there for one night only and am still repenting for booking it just for one night only. Road to property is little narrow, but once you reach there, the views will vanish all your tiredness. The check-in was smooth. Manager Mr. Naval kishor escorted to the room. The room was really big and equipped with elegant decor and furnishings. Balcony was really big, and the views from it were truly breathtaking. Food during breakfast and dinner were deliciously outstanding. Chef Sandeep knows what customers want. Staff was very cooperative and quick. I must appreciate the efforts of the manager, MR. NAVAL KISHOR Nautiyal to make our stay memorable, he is Gem of a person. Looking forward to visit this property again.
