We all loved the location and the ambiance. It was very well maintained nspite of being in the midst of highway; and Manoj's interactions with the guests made it feel even more homely.

Zenoaks Farm Stay - A Hidden Gem in Binsar Nestled on a hill in the serene environs of Binsar near Almora, Zenoaks Farm Stay offers a magical retreat for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil getaway. My week-long stay here was nothing short of extraordinary. Arrival and First Impressions We arrived late at night and were greeted by Manoj, the warm and ever-smiling host, who met us with a torch at the base of the hill. Accompanying him was Vishal, a young bellboy who effortlessly carried our luggage up the 300-meter climb while I struggled to catch my breath. The path, illuminated only by the torchlight, led to a magical sight: the farm stay glowing with string lights and a warm cup of hot chocolate awaiting us. The welcoming atmosphere, combined with the rustic kitchen area with its simple shed and cozy seating, set the tone for our stay. Accommodation We stayed in a charming cottage, a simple yet comfortable structure made of wood and mud. The room was spacious, well-insulated against the cold, and included two double cots, a single cot, and a firewood place. The highlight was the breathtaking view of the majestic Trishul and Nanda Parbat mountain ranges, visible right from the cottage. Cleanliness and ample bedding made it one of the coziest places I’ve stayed at. Food and Dining The dining experience was a standout. On our first night, Manoj—doubling as a chef due to his chef’s absence—whipped up a delicious meal in just 15 minutes. The menu offered delightful options like aloo parantha, aloo pyaaz parantha, and sandwiches, all prepared using fresh ingredients from the farm. The tea, made with farm-fresh milk and premium tea leaves, was heavenly. A conversation with Manoj about Kumaoni cuisine left me eager to try a traditional meal. Adding to the experience, I got to sample fresh fruits like apples, bananas, and kiwis straight from the farm.

Serene, calm atmosphere with a splendid view of the himalayan range including mountains like Nanda devi, Trishul, Nanda ghunti and many others. The host Manoj ji and his assistant Vishal(the sweetest and the most hard working honest teen I have ever met) go above and beyond their capabilities to make guests comfortable, respecting their privacy as well. If someone is looking for a quiet peaceful stay in the mountains of Binsar or Almora, the property should be a go to place. The property is in a place called Sirkot, some 15-16 km south of Binsar KMVN TRH, however the plus point is both Almora, Binsar are in an accessible distance for day trips. Keep up the great work Manoj ji, and best wishes for you, Vishal and didi.

Everything is so beautiful, surrounded by peace and nature. The room was great, super comfortable. The food was great as well! Perfect for resting and disconnect

The establishment is located on top of a steep climb that may cause difficulty for most elderly willing to visit. Also it's better to be prepared for mosquitoes.

The location is beautiful, food from the restaurant was great and overall the vibe is really serene. The owner and the staff were really nice people. We stayed for a short time but thoroughly enjoyed everything the place had to offer. If you want to spend some time in the midst of nature surrounded by.. some quite interesting sensory experiences, this place is perfect.

I had an amazing experience staying at zenoak homestay. As a solo traveller, I was a bit nervous about staying with strangers, but Manoj bhaiya was a fantastic host who made me feel completely at ease. He was very friendly and hospitable, and went out of his way to make sure I had a great stay. The location of the zenoak homestay was absolutely beautiful - it was situated in the middle of a jungle, which made for a truly peaceful and serene atmosphere. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and wildlife every morning. The food at the homestay was also amazing each meal was full of flavour and spices. I particularly loved the local dishes that they served - it was a great opportunity to try out some traditional Indian cuisine. Overall, I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic mountain experience. Manoj bhaiya was an excellent host, the location was stunning, and the food was delicious....😇
