In a country so vast as India, there are many places to holiday, but the most tantalising, rejuvenating and exciting getaways lie in those lofty mountains that are India’s crowning glory. While there are popular places whose charm has been worn out by the ravages of tourism and commercialisation, there still exist little hamlets that are like a breath of fresh air, pleasing and nestled among the hills. Real hideaways which are truly the place to unwind or indulge yourself for a memorable and well deserved holiday.
One such locale is the hillstation of Kufri, just 17km away from the hustle-bustle of Shimla, that ageing queen of the hills that has long since lost her lustre. Kufri is an embodiment of the timeless tranquility of the Himalayas and a kaleidoscope
of nature’s best. With its snowcapped mountain views, haunting pine-covered hills and turquoise-blue sky, Kufri makes an alluring getaway all year round. In this enchanting little village resides Club Mahindra’s Snowview Kufri Holiday Resort — the perfect place for a motoring getaway from Delhi.

P erched high above NH 22 — the old Indo-Tibet road — Club Mahindra’s Kufri Holiday Resort is at a prime location. Splendid views are all yours for the asking. A peek out of any of the 12 cottages treats the guest to a visual feast that he or she will take back as one among many memories from this place.
The snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas jostle for attention — magnanimous and magnificent, little wonder then that they are called the abode of the Gods.
Kufri is fun to visit all year round. During the summer months, there are numerous forest trails to trek, naturally avenued paths created by the huge pines that flourish on these hills. In winter the entire landscape looks like a huge cream pastry, especially after the heavy snowfall in January and February.
Club Mahindra’s Resort here consists of 12 cottages — two studio, six double-bedroomed and the remaining four, single bedroom apartments. All are tastefully done up and include a lounge and a kitchenette.
The bedrooms have huge double beds and there’s also a sofa-cum-bed in the lounge along with a dining table. The kitchenette is equipped with a hotpot to make tea or coffee, a microwave oven and a mini-refrigerator.
All rooms are also provided with a heater and most of the cottages have fireplaces so that guests can get warm and toasty inside when the mercury strays in the vicinity of zero degrees.
Within the resort itself is an activity centre that will ensure that kids (and most adults too!) never get bored. This includes a video game parlour that has state-of-the-art games to be enjoyed. There’s also a billiards room to shoot pool and a very cosy bar to unwind after a hectic day of trekking or skiing.
Bhasoli, the multi-cuisine restaurant, offers lip-smacking food in an homely setting surrounded by huge French windows. Besides this, the resort also has bonfires in the evenings where you can sit under a canopy of stars on the splendid lawn.

If you seek a holiday with a difference, one that ensures quality time with your family and is an enriching experience for your children, then pack your bags
and head to Club Mahindra’s Snowview Kufri Holiday Resort.
