Naukuchia House, Naukuchiatal - IHCL SeleQtions
Luxury Hotel in Naukuchiatal
Softly winding roads welcome the peace-seeker. Pine trees and oaks cocoon a picturesque haven 4000 ft above sea level, ensconced in an era of preserved hill stations and aristocratic estates. With the Naukuchiatal lake, an ancient, mystical companion as its muse, Naukuchia House – IHCL SeleQtions presents an atmosphere like no other, with mountainous aristocracy intermingled with the minutiae of the region’s natural treasures. Making you instantly fall in love with it and everything it curates. It has an effect on covetous feathered residents, the Yellow Billed Blue Magpie and its besotted friends who share its quarters.
The hotel, with its Palladian architecture, sweeps in views, while its interiors are adorned to suit the tastes and personality of the courtly Himalayan Magpie. There is lightness in the stony ivy-covered grandeur, the delicate interplay of the four elements peppered with birdsong, transporting one to a fantastical realm. The rooms and suites boast enviable views, majestic trees and foliage mirroring the Magpie’s wild habitat. The estate’s life centres around the glass-like Naukuchiatal lake reflecting vibrant hues of the universe around, mimicking emerald forests, sapphire skies, and golden sun, while the white mountain mist rises and drifts at a leisurely pace.
Dining takes the mountain experience a notch higher, embracing the Himalayan way of slow living and exploring lost recipes, keeping continental fare a constant, while bringing the taste of hyperlocal homes to the table. Ingredients are sourced locally from farmers and are often considered to be some of the Himalayan Magpie’s favourites. Buransh-infused sips, and more take the gastronome’s palate on an authentic Kumaoni journey. Views from the restaurants forever dominated by the ethereal Naukuchiatal Lake and complemented by the symphony of birdsong keep it otherworldly. In close proximity, the fitness centre encourages one to reach for the stars as they run towards the hills, both the gym and the outdoor temperature-controlled swimming pool one with the environment around.
For those keen on exploring the universe of Naukuchiatal like the Himalayan Magpie and looking to deepen the connection with the Himalayan way of life, Naukuchia House curates immersive experiences—blending tradition and grandeur. The Lakeview Deck is ideal for stargazing and yoga, peppered with courtly high-tea moments of local jaggery and millet snacks, a Kumaoni repast, or English-fusion fare like mithai lamington. Guests may explore the region’s culture, cuisine, and natural splendour, all imbued with a stately refinement that befits the destination’s stately charm. The Ghanta Devi trail, the village experience, and forest bathing moments are inimitable offbeat opportunities to explore both - a preserved Naukuchiatal and a hidden Kumaon.
An idyllic three hours drive from Bareilly airport, amidst forests of oak and pine, kissing the Naukuchiatal lake, awaits this aristocratic estate. Naukuchia House, much like its besotted local resident, the Yellow billed Blue Himalayan Magpie, tells a tale of the finer things in life – collectibles, curiosities, and precious moments.

Guest Rooms

A peek into the forested world of the Magpie, the Garden View Deluxe Rooms embrace pine and oak views, playgrounds for the Himalayan chirper. Two alcoves—one for repose and the other for work or writing—offer a perfect balance of tranquility and productivity. The soothing natural surroundings blend seamlessly with the room’s vibrant decor, inviting you to relax or reflect, the half-wall between the bed and the rest of the room creating a living area. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting a warm glow across the space. The premium amenities and thoughtfully designed interiors create an atmosphere where both solitude and creativity can thrive, accompanied by service that is as attentive as the birdsong outside.

An expanse of mountains, forests, and water stretch out before you as you laze in bed, the sunlight flooding the alcoves. The writing desk invites one to pen their thoughts, while the sofa and ottoman encourage one to introspect, soaking in the sunshine, a warm cup of Himalayan tea in hand. The lounge sofa and coffee table near the writing nook create a sense of a living room, separated from the bed by a half-wall, emphasising Naukuchia House’s charter of space for all, be it in solitude or in company. Vibrant washroom interiors, premium amenities, and service that remains consistently warm complement the views outside.

The Executive Suite awaits—its windows framing the mystical shimmer of the lake, flanked by ancient pines and oaks, where the air hums with birdsong. Inside, the suite is a treasure trove of wonders, with objets d'art that the Himalayan magpie, with its discerning eye, would certainly approve of. Each piece—carved wood, vibrant textiles, and ethereal decor—seems to tell a story, capturing the essence of the mountains. The spacious living room flows into a capacious bedroom, while two magical nooks—a sitting space and writing desk—invite you to pause, reflect, or create amidst nature’s grandeur, sunlight flooding in from the large windows.
