Escape to Paradise: Krishna Mountview Resort, Kausani's Hidden Gem
Escape to Paradise: Krishna Mountview Resort, Kausani - My Confessions from the Himalayas (and Why You NEED to Go)
Okay, let's be real. Planning a trip to the Himalayas is daunting. The sheer amount of stunning scenery leaves my brain feeling like scrambled eggs. But after a week at Krishna Mountview Resort in Kausani, I'm here to tell you: this hidden gem is worth wrestling with flight connections, baggage allowance restrictions, and even my own internal anxieties (which, let's be honest, are extensive).
First Impressions (and a Near-Disaster with a Banana):
The winding roads to Kausani were a trip in themselves. I was picturing a rickety, hole-in-the-wall kind of place -- you know, the kind where the bathroom is "rustic" (read: a hole in the ground). Boy, was I wrong. As soon as I pulled up to Krishna Mountview, I was immediately drawn in to the view of the majestic Himalayas, but before I could even register that fact, I was distracted by a rogue banana. While attempting to exit my car, I almost tripped over a rogue banana peel (apparently, a leftover from the previous guests, a family of monkeys). The staff, however, were incredibly well-trained in safety protocols, and immediately swooped in to save me from a potentially embarrassing fall. So, note to self: be vigilant about fruit peels.
Accessibility: A Plus (and a Small Hiccup or Two):
Now, I'm not a wheelchair user, but I always appreciate a place that tries to cater to everyone. Krishna Mountview definitely gets points here. There's an elevator! That's a huge win in hilly terrain. They have facilities for disabled guests, which is awesome. I did notice a few spots where navigating a wheelchair might be a tiny bit tricky – some pathways felt a bit uneven. However, on the whole, the effort is visible, and that's what counts.
The Rooms: Sanctuary in the Clouds (and My Obsession with the Bathrobes):
My room? Absolutely dreamy. Let me rephrase: my room, was a sanctuary. It was a non-smoking paradise. The air conditioning (yes, surprisingly needed even in the mountains – gotta be prepared!) and Blackout curtains meant I could sleep in past sunrise! The Free Wi-Fi (available everywhere, thank God!) was a lifesaver. They have amenities in the rooms like coffee /tea maker, but the thing that truly sold me on the room was the Bathrobes. Seriously, I spent an embarrassing amount of time draped in that robe, feeling like royalty. The Extra long bed, comfortable seating area, and the fact that the rooms have a window that opens, the mirror, and the slippers just added to that dreamlike experience. There was even a desk for working (which, admittedly, I rarely did…because mountains). My favourite was the complimentary tea, with which I had a great morning
Cleanliness and Safety: Comfort Beyond Expectations:
This is where Krishna Mountview shines. The Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and the fact that rooms are sanitized between stays gave me such peace of mind. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, maybe a lot, sometimes. I even found the hand sanitizer everywhere. They have a doctor on call. They have individually-wrapped food options, and a safe dining setup. It felt genuinely safe. The staff trained in safety protocol felt ready for anything.
Dining: A Culinary Adventure (with Mountains of Food!)
Okay, food. Let's talk food. The main restaurant, called the "Mount View Restaurant" served buffet-style meals that were a feast. The Asian breakfast was delicious, the Western breakfast had everything I wanted. They also had an a la carte restaurant. I had the best soup I've ever tasted during this trip! I didn't get to try the vegetarian restaurant, but knowing it was there made me happy – my vegetarian travel companions would have been ecstatic.
They even catered to my late-night snacking urges with room service [24-hour]. They have a coffee shop and a bar. It also features a poolside bar
Things to Do: Relaxation Central (with a Side of Adventure)
Krishna Mountview is all about relaxation. The swimming pool [outdoor] (with that view!) was pure bliss. I didn't get around to the spa, because, well…procrastination. They have options of having a Body scrub, Body wrap, and a Massage. They have a Spa/sauna and a Steamroom, if you are that kind of person. They also have a Gym/fitness. They even have a Foot bath. They have a pool with a view, which is very unique. But even just sitting on the terrace with a cup of tea and soaking in the Himalayas felt like a spiritual experience.
The Quirky Stuff (Because No Place is Perfect):
- Couple's room: They even have this, for the romantics out there!
- Daily housekeeping was a godsend. My room was always pristine.
- Invoice provided for those of us who have to account for everything.
- The gift/souvenir shop was a tempting (and slightly dangerous) place for my souvenir-buying impulses.
Anecdote:
- I spent an entire afternoon lounging by the pool, utterly mesmerized by the view. I probably looked like a beached whale in my borrowed robe, but I didn't care. The world (and my worries) simply melted away. What a beautiful scene.
The Imperfections (Because Honesty, People!):
- The Internet access - LAN was a bit outdated
- Despite the staff's best efforts, the occasional little hiccups happened, like once when my ordered coffee was a little cold.
- The Babysitting service, not that I needed it, but still I didn't try it.
Overall:
Krishna Mountview Resort isn't just a hotel; it's an experience. It's the kind of place that allows you to breathe, to disconnect, and to reconnect with yourself and nature. The stunning setting, the impeccable service, the commitment to cleanliness, and the thoughtful amenities make it a truly unforgettable stay.

Orlando Paradise: 4-Bed, 3-Bath Townhome Awaits! (Paradise Palms Resort)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into chaos. Here's my ridiculously disorganized, probably-will-change-on-a-whim itinerary for Krishna Mountview Resort in Kausani, India. Prepare for a rollercoaster… mostly of my own making.
Day 1: Arrival & Altitude-Induced Giggle Fits
Morning (or whenever the heck the flight lands): Arrive at Pantnagar Airport. Okay, fine, I'll admit it, I’m already regretting the slightly too-tight jeans for this adventure. After a 6-hour drive from Pantnagar Airport, we were there. I’m now experiencing my first of many, many, many "breathtaking" views. Ha! Literally.
Afternoon: Check-in at Krishna Mountview. Apparently, the "Mountview" part isn't just a suggestion. Holy moly, the view! We all rush to the balcony, and all the photos we clicked were so blurry, as we were still trying to catch our breath. I am pretty sure i just saw the world.
Evening: Alright, dinner at the resort. I'm already picturing myself ordering way too much, probably some paneer dish, and then regretting it later (my stomach is a fickle beast at the best of times). I also heard they have a bonfire some nights. Crossing my fingers for a singalong, because I'm definitely bringing my off-key rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Day 2: Sunrise Shenanigans, Tea Troubles, and the Temple Tango
5:30 AM??!: Okay, deep breaths. This is where the sanity goes out the window. "Sunrise view" is the lure. Apparently, the peaks are absolutely magical. Me? I'm a night owl disguised as a morning person. But for this… I'll do it. Praying for a cup of STRONG coffee. Seriously, if I'm going to appreciate the "golden hour," I need to be fully caffeinated.
Morning The restaurant food was a little underwhelming, but that was okay because the view from EVERYWHERE just erased the food. Still, it’s a minor annoyance.
Afternoon: Okay, so we attempted a visit to the Anasakti Ashram. This place is supposed to be where Gandhi stayed, a must-visit. We failed miserably at our first attempt. The road was not visible, or very difficult to navigate. Maybe we will try later
Evening: Dinner at the resort again. Trying to be adventurous and ordering something I've only half-heard of. Cross your fingers for me!
Day 3: A Hike (Maybe!), Photo Frenzy, and Stargazing Dreams
Morning: The best thing about the view is that it makes a cup of tea taste special. So that's what we will do. It's going to be a bit cold outside so, it is important to take care of that.
Afternoon: Okay, let's try this hike again. Fingers crossed! We will see the views, again.
Evening: The idea of staring at the stars with nothing other than a blanket sounds extremely relaxing. Maybe a long walk on the resort?
Day 4: Back to Reality (Sob!)
- Morning: Trying to cram one last "breathtaking" sunrise or whatever. One last mountain panorama. One last deep breath of that ridiculously fresh air.
- Afternoon: Check out, final goodbyes, the long drive. I am already thinking of coming here again.
Random Thoughts, Ramblings, and (Probably Irrational) Expectations:
- The Food: I'm anticipating some seriously spicy food. My mouth is already watering. I need help controlling myself though.
- The People: I'm hoping to meet some fun, interesting people and maybe even make some friends. Okay, that's a long shot. I'm a born introvert. But a friendly smile or two wouldn't hurt, right?
- The Bugs: Is there going to be an endless supply of mosquito bites? I really hope not. I’m bringing bug spray, anyway.
- The Packing: Did I pack enough socks? Did I pack too many clothes and not enough practical items? (Probably.) Did I remember my camera charger? (Also probably not.) The existential dread of forgetting something essential is already starting to creep in. Send help.
- My Mental State: I'm hoping to come back feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and less stressed. That's a tall order. Hopefully, the mountains and the fresh air will do their magic!
Overall Vibe:
This is probably going to be a wild, beautiful, and slightly chaotic adventure. I can already taste the chai, feel the crisp air on my face, and picture myself laughing so hard I cry. This is what I'm hoping for, anyway. Wish me luck! And if you see a disheveled woman wandering around, looking lost but somehow smiling, that's probably me. Come say hi, you might get a laugh.
Dominica's Secret Bay Portsmouth: Paradise Found (or Lost?)
So, what *is* this whole thing about, anyway? Like, what's the point of MORE FAQs?
Honestly? I don't even know anymore. (Shrugs dramatically). But seriously, I figured, hey, everyone loves an FAQ, right? People always have questions. And I have opinions. So, we’re rolling with it. It's about… well, it's about whatever I feel like talking about. Think of it as a digital ramble. A public service announcement… of sorts. Maybe a therapy session… for the internet. You know, this is getting a little ridiculous, I’ll stop rambling now. But the point is, questions, answers, maybe a few laughs, hopefully no existential dread. Cross your fingers.
Okay, okay, I get the *idea*. But why *this* format? Why all the schema markup stuff? Is this some kind of SEO hack?
Hacks? Me? Never! (Stares intensely at the screen then nervously adjusts glasses). Okay, maybe a *little* bit. Let’s be real, getting found on Google is good. But mostly, I figured, why not? I’m trying to prove a point here, about things. I don't know. I'm just trying to show the world what it looks like inside my head. And my head's a mess, so... there. And, well, I also read a blog once that said it could help people with screen readers. So… *altruism*. Definitely. And who knows I might be the next google queen.
Do you *know* what you're talking about? Or are you just making stuff up? Because honestly, I'm not sure.
Oh, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? (strokes chin thoughtfully). Look, sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no. Sometimes, I *think* I know, and then I remember something else, and BAM! Everything I thought was true… is not. Life is like that. A constant, beautiful, terrifying reminder that we’re all just winging it. I'll be honest, I spent like five minutes researching this to make the FAQ, it only took me like 5 minutes... so...
So, what's the *best* way to... *stuff*? You know, the *thing* you were talking about.
Ah, the golden question. The secret, the *holy grail*. Okay, fine, I'll give you my *highly* opinionated, possibly incorrect, definitely not legally binding advice: Ugh. Advice. I hate giving advice. But okay. Listen, it depends. It ALWAYS depends. But I’m going to say a thing anyway, and you can take it or leave it: don’t overthink it. Seriously. Overthinking is the enemy of… well, of pretty much everything good in life. Take a deep breath, do your prep, and *go*. (That could be anything, okay?). Remember there's going to be a point of no return, and you need to stop waffling and do the thing.
What's the worst mistake you ever made? (Come on, spill the tea!)
Oh, sweet, sweet, schadenfreude. You want dirt, huh? Fine. Okay, brace yourselves. (Takes a deep breath, winces). There was this *one time*… (Starts to ramble) … I tried to bake a cake. *Tried*. I had this *vision*, you see. A masterpiece. I meticulously measured everything. Followed the recipe to the letter. *Or so I thought*. And then… it exploded. Like, literally. It filled the kitchen with smoke. Fire alarms blaring. I'm pretty sure the neighbors thought our house was on fire. I still have nightmares… about the burnt sugar. (Shudders) And the cake… oh, the cake. It was a solid, inedible, black brick. I tried to hide it, but my SO found it in the back of the fridge months later. It was a *monument* to my incompetence. So yeah. Lesson learned: I should stick to instant mashed potatoes. Or at least, read the recipe.
How do you handle *[insert problem/situation here]*? (Give me the *secrets*!)
Okay, okay, I get it. You want the magic answer. The secret handshake. The *one thing* that will solve all your problems. (Sighs dramatically). Look, there *is* no one-size-fits-all solution. Life isn't a recipe (except for the cake incident). What works for me might not work for you. Okay? But... if I *had* to pick one piece of advice? Be kind. To yourself. To others. Especially when things go sideways. Because, let's be honest, things *will* go sideways. (Gestures wildly). And when they do, kindness is your superpower.
What's the one thing you wish you knew sooner?
Oof, that's a tough one. There are so many things! (Pauses, head tilted). But, if I had to pick one, it would be... that it's okay to be a mess. Really. I spent so much of my life trying to be perfect, trying to have it all together, trying to *appear* like I knew what I was doing. The truth is, I never knew what I was doing!! Nobody does! It's all chaos, and it's okay. In fact, it’s beautiful. The messiness is where the good stuff is. So yeah. Embrace the mess. It's way more fun than pretending.
