Pretty birds sang for us – the village walk to Nagtale village along the Western Ramganga River was amazing; viewing snow capped peaks was breathtaking. Mountains and jungles bathed in moonlight nights were serene. The staff gave us a home coming that we can never forget. This is one of the best settings we have experienced in any of the lodges in India. Misty, the Hemmingway, keep it up. – Gill and Modi Families, March 2010 -Delhi, India

This was an amazing experience for the both of us.  We have never been treated so well as we have here.  Thank you so very much!  Every one of you was wonderful. – Lee & Cori Todd, March 2011 -USA
