A calm, well-kept stay in Motor Nagar, Kotdwar — moments from Sidhbali Temple, minutes from the Khoh river, and an easy drive to Lansdowne and Corbett.
Kotdwar has long been a resting point for pilgrims and travellers heading into the hills — and the rudraksha, worn by nearly everyone who passes through on the way to the temples above, gave us our name. We built this hotel on the same idea: a plain, dependable place to stop, rest, and continue the journey well looked after.
Every room is cleaned daily, every stay starts with a call answered promptly, and every guest leaves knowing exactly where to eat, what to see, and how to get to Lansdowne or Corbett the next morning.
The basics done properly — no surprises at check-in.
Four categories, all with daily housekeeping and a proper hot shower — pick by group size, not just budget.
Kotdwar sits right at the point where the plains meet the Garhwal hills — most guests use it as a stop before or after these.
The hillside temple the hotel takes its bearings from — an easy walk or short auto ride, busiest at sunset aarti.
A quiet colonial-era hill station with pine-lined roads — roughly an hour and a half by car from the hotel.
A calm stretch of riverbank close to town, popular for an early walk before the day's plans begin.
A quick look at the entrance, corridors, and rooms.
Clean rooms, and the front desk picked up the phone right away when we called ahead to check availability.
Good base for a Lansdowne trip — quiet at night, and walking distance from Sidhbali temple.
Family room comfortably fit five of us, and housekeeping came by every day without being asked.
