Uttarakhand is an orchestra of nature’s splendor personified by the resplendent Himalayas, comprising everything that a nature lover or an adventure seeker in quest of serenity may want—from calm lakes reflecting snow-capped peaks to emerald grass carpeted and wildflower-filled valleys. In this blog let’s explore the top 7 Scenic Stays in Uttarakhand, which would present one with an altogether unique experience along with panoramic and breathtaking vistas.
Best Hill Stations in Uttarakhand for Panoramic Beauty
1. Nainital

Just imagine an emerald-tinted gem of a lake, Naini Lake, sitting between emerald hills like a crown. Nainital assures one of the boat rides on undisturbed waters, strolling down the Mall Road—lined by shops and coffee houses—and vantage points like the Snow View Point, from which the grandeur of the Himalayas could be captured to the fullest extent. Not to miss would be a ride on the iconic ropeway for breathtaking panoramic views.
2. Mussoorie
Referred to as the ‘Queen of the Hills’, this place is located more than 6,000 ft above sea level. It showcases an astounding combination of the spirit of colonialism within the vistas of mountains. One can take a gondola ride for views from another perspective or simply stroll down Mall Road until the end—resplendent with shops, eating houses, and architectural wonders like the Cambridge Estate. This is an absolute must, be it Kempty Falls—a supple waterfall amidst lush green surroundings for rejuvenation.
3. Auli

Winter Wonderland: The winter ski resort transforms into colorful meadows abounded by wildflowers in the summers. A person can take a cable car ride for a panoramic view of the Himalayas or take a walk on a network of trails encircling the majestic Nanda Devi Peak, the second-highest mountain in India. The scenery around Auli invites adventure freaks to experience skiing and snowboarding on its slopes during winter times.
4. Kausani
Sunrise Paradise: The mighty sunrises of Kausani that paint Trishul and Nanda Devi in warm golden hues are truly a haven for peace and serenity. Stroll through the green tea plantations; and get magnificent views of the valleys below. Take a visit to the Rudradhari Falls & Caves, another of those hidden things amidst the hills, or simply spend time on your balcony soaking in mountain magic.
5. Ranikhet Tranquil Escape
An eldritch haven of pines surrounds Ranikhet, a charming one with a serene getaway and captivating Himalayan views. Take in impeccably panoramic views from the Golf Course—a verdant haven of rolling greens backed by the Himalayas. A roam in the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, home to vast avian life, is sure to delight birdwatchers.
6. Binsar Wildlife & Scenery
One comes across here an enchanting mixture of scenic beauty and wildlife. Trekking through the thick forests, filled with unavoidable birds like the eluded lammergeier and animals like the barking deer, or just relaxing at a vantage point with views of the Himalayas, is this sanctuary simply the best?
7. Lansdowne: Offbeat Escape

A cantonment town, unruffled by the crowds, presents an archetypal getaway around rolling hills. Take a visit to Tarkeshwar Mahadev Temple, a several-hundred-year-old temple of Lord Shiva. Have a picnic en suite alongside the beautiful Bhulla Lake or take a walk in nature with complete silence all around and inhale the fresh mountain breeze.
