Faraway Cottages, Auli

Great place for a peaceful weekend.

9.0

Location was serene and beautiful but as name suggests far away from the town, so slightly inconvenient for any other activity in town.

− May be a slightly cheaper price

Gorgeous views, scrumptious food, helpful and polite staff esp Mr Bipin Chawla

− The kitchen can stock fresh mutton and fish, we were unable to try any. Rooma should have intercom facility

It was comfortable, superb and peaceful.

My stay at faraway cottages

Faraway Cottages Auli stands out as one of the most scenic hotels I have ever experienced. Views: The hotel offers a panoramic 360-degree vista of the surrounding mountain ranges. On clear days, the views from the property are truly mesmerizing. The accompanying images were captured directly from the hotel premises. Service: The staff at Faraway Cottages Auli provided impeccable service, leaving no room for complaint. Their responses were consistently prompt and efficient. Furthermore, they offered valuable insights into various local attractions in Auli, assisted with my itinerary planning, and arranged a taxi for my ascent to Upper Auli. Food: We consumed all our meals, including the complimentary breakfast, at the hotel. The food quality was excellent, distinguished by its delicious taste and generous portion sizes. Parking: On-site parking is available and provided free of charge. Please refer to the images depicting the parking area. What I really loved was the service, the views, and how peaceful and quiet it was —a perfect escape from the city's craziness. Important Considerations: (a) The hotel is situated at an elevation of approximately 7,700 feet above sea level. Given the absence of elevators, certain rooms are accessible only via stairs. Guests may experience fatigue at this altitude when navigating stairs or moving around the property. It is advisable to assess your fitness level and that of your companions, and to coordinate with the hotel staff regarding room assignments accordingly. (b)Upon reaching Joshimath and turning onto Auli Road, the roadways become narrower. Google Maps may exhibit some inaccuracies in this area. Nevertheless, the hotel staff are exceptionally helpful and responsive, providing clear guidance. Drivers with experience should navigate these roads without difficulty; I personally drove a Hyundai Creta and encountered no issues. For those less confident in their driving abilities, hiring a taxi is recommended.

Everything at this property was great. The staff were wonderful , the food was delicious, the cottage was warm and cosy, the views from the room were mind-blowing. Had a wonderful stay with my family. They were very accommodating with specific food requests due to allergies. I could not ask for more. Thank you very much.
