Van Serai is located in the peaceful foothills of Kumaon within walking distance of great religious sites such as Jageshwar etc. The resort itself is a small, rustic property with simple decor and comfortable rooms. The bathroom and beds were of good standard, but it’s the service and dining that deserves the highest praise. No demand was too small and staff brought tea and snacks promptly and with great care. Meals were well priced and consisted of unapologetically simple yet wholesome food. Nothing was extravagant, but every element was well flavoured, balanced and was served kindly.
