You've been seeking the best weekend getaway of them all and in that search you find yourself driving an eternity through the most beautiful hills and valleys. Finally along a hair raising road to come around a bend and see the most amazing vista of the 'Panchuli' staring you in the face. These five mythic stoves on which Parvati cooked for her five men are a semicircle of majestic peaks that seem to enclose the tiny settlement of Munsyari. A bastion of the 'Bhutia' tribe, erstwhile traders and herders of goats and sheep who travelled between Tibet and Calcutta, they have an ancient cultural heritage which they are trying to preserve and showcase through the museum in Munsyari, and the local weaving centre in the village of Darkot, that still has the old style homes and looms.
The view from your verandah in Munsiyari
The Last Frontier, is a beautifully located and meticulously maintained lodge. Six, very comfortable rooms, with deep verandahs that overlook that inimitable view. One could easily do nothing but sit there and gaze. Eat simple home fare, be taken care of by a charming and helpful crew. Read, write, paint and enjoy the changing light on the mountains and the vistas around you. Birds abound, and if you sit by the little stream that gurgles past the property you will be visited by many varieties.
However, there are lovely walks: short hikes, day long walks, or 1 and 2 night overnight treks. For the more intrepid this is the start point for the treks to the glaciers of Milam and Rahalla. Also the beginning of the trek to Nanda Devi base camp. We recommend a visit in spring, when the rhododendrons are a riot of red, white, pink and mauve, or autumn for crisp clear views. MHE has mapped out a fantastic road trip which stays here at Munsiyari. |
