Moksha Retreat, Kasar Devi

Kasar Devi is a pine-covered ridge a few kilometres above Almora, crowned by a small hilltop temple to the goddess. Swami Vivekananda meditated here, and through the twentieth century the ridge drew writers, artists and seekers looking for somewhere quiet to think. On clear days the snow range runs across the whole northern horizon.

Moksha Retreat is built for that same stillness. Mornings begin with the view and a walk up to the temple, days go on forest trails, Almora's old bazaar and the Bright End Corner sunset point, and evenings end early and unhurried. It is the stay we suggest for couples and anyone who wants a few days to properly switch off.
