Oak Chalet
Mukhteshwar, Uttarakhand.
Gahana orchards spread over several acres of mountain terrain, gahana orchards located in sargakhet village in nainital district of uttarakhand, is the ancestral home of the mehra family. It was built by adc bacchi singh mehra, aide to the maharaja jind of patiala, from 1942-55. The property, which lies 3 kms ahead of mukteshwar, was opened to visitors some 20 years ago. It has two guest houses – the somerset lodge and oak chalet -- that are today run by bacchi singh ji’s grandson manoj.
 
Oak chalet is a secluded guest house nestling deep in the woods. It is a fine example of fast-disappearing traditional missionary art. It has four rooms, each of which offers an uninterrupted view of the himalayan valley below. The dense forest.

Around is home to wild cats such as leopards and various mountain birds including the chakors, magpies, mynas, jungle fowl, babblers and whistling thrush.

Star gazing is a favourite with our guests at night, as you sit around the bonfire at the lodge, exchanging stories. The milky way and other constellations are waiting to draw your attention to the vastness of our universe around.
