Soulitude is a real heaven on earth! This is a very late review but i had to!
If you are looking for a place to be surrounded by nature and spend time with your soulmate there would be no other place! The staff, especialy the manager, Mr Prithvi Raj, made our stay just perfect. Prithvi ji suggested us the itineries, to do things and even must try local food. Since we were self driving we explored nearby places like bhimtal, sattal, mukteshwar which are half day trips! Its a cozy place to stay with all rooms of different themes, homemade food and staff paying attention to your tiniest demand. All around the place you will find tiny little somethings, unique in their own way and different from the other thing. They make the best hand beaten coffee!!

A beautifully-designed hotel in a stunning situation with distant Himalayan views, we really loved our stay in the "Secret Garden". Every aspect of this hotel was just perfect for us. The room was spacious, warm and comfortable, with lots of interesting features. In fact, we did a walk around the hotel pointing to things we particularly liked (eg natural wood, tiling). Soup served beside the fire outside, under a full moon, was particularly magical. The barbeque was also great. Without exception, the staff were all really friendly and helpful to us, the only non-Indians there. They organised a lovely walk on one day and then, to our surprise, invited us to their twin hotel Soulitude by the River. The manager there welcomed us, showed us around and also took us for a beautiful walk. Again, quite magical. We fell in love with this beautifully-designed and characterful property and would dearly love to return and stay there. I have only praise for these two hotels. Thank you.

We zeroed on this property based on trip advisor reviews and as usual, the reviews were fully justified. If there is a boutique resort that lives fully to its name, it’s Soulitude. It definitely has a living, breathing soul that is full of joie de vivre. Meticulously built and aesthetically decorated with loving care by its owners, it is so full of delightful knick-knacks.
It is a small property with only 10 rooms, each named appropriately. We stayed at Nirvana that is a gorgeous suite with huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a skylight to enjoy the starry sky at night.
It is commendable that the people who man the resort are as lovable and caring. It feels more like a homestay and not a resort. The food is homely too and the chef is happy to accommodate your personal favourites.
We celebrated our daughter’s birthday and weren’t sure if they would be arrange a cake in the remote location. But, not only did they bake a cake but also put together a nice balloon-decorated birthday party, a nice surprise for the daughter.
We went on a lovely trek with Bhanuji who was kind to our city-feet. It was lovely weather, greenery, blue sky with zero pollution. After a long time, we enjoyed a fiercely competitive game of Scrabble.
We also made a day trip to Soulitude by Riverside but that is the subject of another review.
All-in-all, an excellent stay. We shall visit again!

To begin with, the property was enchanting. We went at the end of September and it turned out that it was not the best time to get a glimpse of the mighty mountains.
However, we were in for some luck on one out of our two days of stay.
First of all, the staff was very patient and friendly. Even before we made our bookings, we spoke to the staff. They have an answer for every question! They called us to give more information on what to pack, weather conditions, how to reach etc. The day we checked in, the staff was waiting for us at the entrance to the resort to receive us and welcome us. I felt like a queen. We booked Nirvana, which is the very first cottage as you enter the resort. It is at the highest elevation in the property from where you can see the main house, other cottages, the common deck and the valley. While this means that you are a bit far from the main house and the dining room, it is a very good exercise going up and down the steep. When we requested our kid's food to be cooked in a particular way, they readily got it done. Mr. Prithvi and Mr. Bhanu Pratap were always available to help us. They patiently offered insurmountable guidance to various guests on places to visit, often providing them with route maps to the nearby places, ideas on what to do etc. We couldn’t accommodate trekking on our agenda since we were travelling with a soon-to-be 4yr old, but a few guests we chatted with suggested some wonderful places to visit -- Mukteshwar being one of the popular destinations.
Coming to the highlight of the trip. The mountains. Oh, speechless. We just couldn't get enough of them. Unable to contain our anxiety, we woke up while it was still dark. It was our lucky day. The mist lifted early and we saw the outline of Trishul and Nandadevi. Just at sunrise, the trishul turned orange for a few minutes and left us dumbstruck. We sat looking at the mountains with out realising the time. A captivating view of the white mountains is beyond words. We could see the mountains until 2 pm when clouds began to form blocking the view to trishul, but nandadevi remained visible for a while. The next day too we woke up expecting another treat to our eyes, but too much of mist brought only disappointment. So, we had to be content with what we saw the previous day. Most reviews said that the best time to view the mountains is only after September. The staff too said the same thing.
Again, a big thank you to the whole team at soulitude for making our stay a memorable one. Can I give you 10/5 stars?
