Jalna is located on the almora-devidhura road , some 4 hrs from kathgodam , and I was pleasantly surprised with what was on offer , as I went on this route for the first time ! With very few options for comfortable stay in this small hamlet of 25 houses..Elphinstone is the only good one among them ! Fabulous views of the Himalayas , right from the balcony , to a plethora of birds , specially in winters , I saw chaffinch for the first time in 4 years .. this place has everything that a nature lover or a birder seeks ... The property is nicely located , facing the Himalayas , with big , comfortable rooms , excellent staff , special mention to suraj , for his pleasant personality and always at service hospitality ! Food is simple and light on the tummy , which is imp. When traveling in the hills .. all in all , a lovely stay , with all facilities , great location and a lot of birds ... Do visit this part of the world on your next vacation , you will be pleasantly surprised with what's on offer , so close...

   Read moreWe stayed at Elphinstone resort in Jalna for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it! The view from the resort was breathtaking! If you are lucky, you even get a view of snow capped Himalayan range straight from your room! It is a place to just unwind, read a book, walk/trek and sometimes, just do nothing and admire the beauty of nature! The nearest market is 5km away in a place called Lamgarh. The best part about this place is that it's not crowded at all unlike Nainital, which is very commercial. The rooms at Elphinstone resort were clean, nice, cozy and comfortable! And the best part was food! Hitesh (owner of Elphinstone resort) has made a point to serve his guests with home cooked food and it was amazing!||||I would definitely recommend this resort/place to anyone who's just looking for some peace of mind and sometime to just...
