VENUE
Abbotsford Estate, Nainital
Abbotsford Estate, home to the celebrated Himalayan Echoes literature festival, is Nainital’s only boutique heritage homestay. Built in 1876, this 11-room property, spanning Abbotsford House, Wordsworth Cottage, and the premium Apsley House, offers a timeless country-home charm. Tucked away in a serene corner of Nainital, it has been featured in Conde Nast Traveller (India, 2009). Festival guests also enjoy Café Chica, the estate’s alfresco dining experience, serving fresh, organic fare, including the famed Kumaoni Thali, against a backdrop of mountain views, walnut and oak groves, and birdsong.
