So I discovered this place while I was looking for some nice places to stay in Nainital on Google. It's definitely way more beautiful than it looks in the pictures available online. The owners, Dave family have built this property with sheer love and it's very much visible. Rooms are fantastic, interior is definitely self done by the family and the staff is very warm and courteous. Location is little far away from the Nainital Lake or the bus stop of Nainital. Himalaica is located on be walk Mukteshwar Road, perfect for those who like calm and serene locations rather than prime and crowded ones. The only issue was the pricing of the food. The food was nice and tasty. But little over priced given the fact that it's a home stay and we already pay a good amount for the rooms, per person for a breakfast was little over priced when all we had was omelette, toasted breads and tea. I had 3 meals at the property, 2 breakfasts and one dinner for which I paid per person, the only reason why I am rating it 4 stars otherwise it's definitely 5 stars. However, the property is beautiful and there are 3 dogs Raja, lama and Cyber who are very friendly and adorable. If you are a nature and dog lover book this place right away, well food can be taken care of anyway.
