Award winning boutique resort

Emerald Trail was founded in 2012 and since then we have served our guests with warmth and humility. The property has the charm of a ‘homestay ’ .
Emerald Trail is12 kms and twenty-minute uphill drive from Bhimtal. Perched at 4500 ASL, far away from the hustle bustle of the city life, in an Edenic village called Jungaliyagaon.
Beautiful weather around the year: mild summers 30-35 degrees with crisp, cool air, chilly winters 0- 5 degrees with un-predictable snowing.
The resort is surrounded with farmlands and village homes with majestic views of the Kumaon mountains.
The resort is sprawled over 4 acres with citrus trees and fruit orchards of malta, apricots, oranges, peaches and plums. The lush green habitat makes it a paradise for migratory birds and varied butterfly species in all shapes and colors.
It is an eco- friendly resort embracing solar energy for heating water and dedicated rainwater catchment areas.
Pets are welcome. It’s a leash free * heaven for them.
Take a pause from your hectic life and visit Emerald Trail for a memorable holiday.
