AruBhi Cottage places you at the heart of Uttarakhand's finest experiences. From misty hill stations to ancient caves and sacred rivers — everything is within easy reach of your private villa.
Start your mornings with a swim in your private pool, then set out to discover the best Uttarakhand has to offer. Return each evening to the peace and seclusion of AruBhi Cottage — forest views, a cold dip in the pool, and dinner under the stars. There is no better base for a Dehradun exploration.
Perched at 2,000 metres above sea level, Mussoorie offers sweeping Himalayan vistas, colonial-era architecture and a lively mountain town atmosphere. The drive up from AruBhi Cottage winds through pine forests with valley views at every turn.
A natural cave (Guchhupani) with a cool stream flowing through narrow rock passages. Walk through ankle-deep water as towering cave walls close around you — fascinating, refreshing and unlike anything else in the region.
Thousand-fold spring — a series of cascading waterfalls fed by sulphur-rich springs believed to carry natural healing properties. Steep green cliffs and mist make the surroundings breathtaking, particularly in monsoon season.
A UNESCO World Heritage site in a magnificent Greco-Roman building set within 450 hectares of forest. Six museum galleries trace the history of Indian forestry, set within vast lawns and ancient trees.
An ancient Shiva temple inside a natural cave with water dripping onto the Shiva Linga below. Set beside the Tons River, the approach through the forest is meditative and the temple carries centuries of spiritual significance.
The yoga capital of the world where the Ganges descends from the Himalayas. Ganga Aarti, Laxman Jhula, ashrams of Ram Jhula, and white-water rafting — an extraordinary day trip from AruBhi Cottage.
AruBhi Cottage sits opposite a protected forest reserve. Step outside and walk directly into nature. Morning walks through the reserve offer birdsong, fresh mountain air and the rare pleasure of the forest entirely to yourself.
Dehradun has a thriving cafe culture. Find excellent coffee, Garhwali thalis, and the legendary Ellora's Bakery — one of the oldest and most beloved confectioners in Uttarakhand.
March to June and September to November are ideal. Monsoon (July–August) makes waterfalls dramatic but roads can be challenging. Winters are cold but serene.
A self-drive rental or hired local taxi with driver gives the most flexibility. Most attractions are well connected and easy to combine in a single day.
Begin each morning with a swim before setting out. Return by evening for sundowners in the garden — the forest is at its most magical at dusk.
Time your Mussoorie visit for late afternoon. The sunset views from Lal Tibba over the Himalayan ranges are among the most spectacular in Uttarakhand.
Book AruBhi Cottage as your base — private pool, forest views, and all of these extraordinary experiences at your doorstep.
