IHCL has unveiled the launch of Tree of Life Himalaya in Hartola, Uttarakhand.
Located at roughly 7,000 feet above sea level, the resort is encircled by centuries‑old oak woods, orchards and a natural spring, delivering sweeping vistas of Trishul and Nanda Devi.
Deepika Rao, Executive Vice President – Select Service Business at IHCL, commented, “As slow travel gains momentum, travelers increasingly seek genuine, nature‑focused experiences. Hartola’s vibrant culture and pristine scenery embody this trend, and Tree of Life Himalaya reflects the locale’s spirit while giving visitors a tranquil retreat amid nature.”
Built using the area’s classic mountain architecture, the property offers six rooms that marry modern comfort with natural elements and local craftsmanship. Each room showcases wood interiors, stone accents and large windows that frame the forest views.
The Sequoia Café at the resort highlights locally sourced, seasonal produce and regional flavors, all enjoyed with a view of the surrounding scenery.
Visitors can join various activities that highlight Hartola’s natural and cultural heritage, such as guided walks through villages and orchards, bird‑watching trips, seasonal fruit harvesting, jam‑making workshops, and hands‑on cooking classes using traditional recipes.
Additionally, the retreat provides stargazing sessions, bonfire evenings, guided Himalayan treks, tea tastings, and craft workshops where guests can interact with local artisans.
