"Set within the breathtaking Himalayas, this architectural marvel by Sri Lankan architects Pradeep Kodikara and Jineshi Samaraweera comprises 10 suites arranged in pairs that gracefully wind down a hillside. The minimalist-chic design—stone walls, raw concrete beams, bamboo cladding, and hardwood floors, much of it meticulously hand-constructed—pairs beautifully with the wild allure of nearby Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, where leopards roam." - Faye Bradley
"That the Kumaon even exists is almost unbelievable. High among the Indian Himalayas, nine hours by automobile from Delhi, it takes the better part of a day to get here. When the owners found it, no roads led to the site. A simple log cabin would have been challenging enough to construct. The Kumaon is no log cabin. It is a work of hotel art, a feat of tropical modernism superimposed on a mountaintop almost entirely by hand." - The MICHELIN Guide

"The Kumaon is a work of hotel art, a feat of tropical modernism superimposed on a mountaintop almost entirely by hand. It is a ten-suite luxury hotel as unlikely and marvelous as any in the world." - Mitchell Friedman
"Near the Tibetan border, the 10-suite Kumaon blends tropical modernism with stark Himalayan contours." - Travel + Leisure Editors
