The Van Allen Stays

I had a wonderful stay at The Van Allen Stays, nestled in the peaceful hills near Kasar. The room was thoughtfully designed and featured beautiful hand-painted wall art, just as shown in their listing. It’s a perfect retreat for travelers seeking peace, nature, and a deeper cultural connection. The Host and Team: Romel and his team were exceptional—kind, responsive, and highly professional. Romel, as a host, was warm and welcoming. He generously shared local insights, assisted with day trip arrangements, and ensured every guest felt personally cared for. Spending time with his Himalayan pet dog, a Bhutia breed affectionately named Panzer, made the stay even more memorable. Dining – Amenities – Travel Support: All meals were freshly prepared, nutritious, and homely—thanks to Raju Bhai, whose thalis, coffee, and sandwiches are truly worth mentioning. Fast Wi-Fi, attentive housekeeping, and well-maintained amenities made everything smooth and convenient. Their support with local pick-ups and drop-offs was a huge help, especially as I was new to the area. Evenings by the bonfire brought warmth, connection, and a magical close to each day.

Best stay to enjoy your leisure or workation trip. Surreal location away from the crowd, just few minutes walking distance from The Kumaon and Kasar Devi temple. Hospitality by the host Romel is something to remember. They served home cooked food and also helped us arrange cabs for our day tours at reasonable rates. Also it has a lovely lawn to sit and chill. The rooms were very clean and spacious with a perfect mountain view. They also have a cute and friendly pet named Panzer. I highly recommend this place for your next trip to Kasar Devi/ Binsar. Its very close to the nature with greenary and peace all around.

The stay is located at a very quiet picturesque location away from market. On a clear sunny day, you can see glaciers from your window. The room was neat and clean and the hosts were very hospitable. The caretaker raju was very responsive and ensured we had a very comfortable stay. The Food served was also very tasty.

Overall experience was good nice new place with excellent kitchen and staff. Would like to stay there again

Amazing experience, the owner is a PHD scholar and a really nice person, if we really looking to enjoy your trip plan for more than a day here, I am now planning for atleast a week stay, just one note here this place is not 7 minutes walk to Kasar Devi temple, it’s 2.8 kms and 30-40 minute walk from the premises. But the care take Raju bhai is amazing, he tool good care and very quick and efficient in his services, deliver all food and service before time just ensure you order 1 hour prior to when you need it as he cool fresh home cook delicious food for you. Overall a very peaceful and spiritual stay

It was an amazing stay. Hospitality and nature of host is awesome. Food was nice and rooms were nice and each room has beautiful Mountain View
