“A place we will always come back to ❤️. We came to Ethnic Trail with our 6-month-old baby looking for a quiet break, and somehow found a place that felt like home. Morning clouds running beside us during storms, peaceful surroundings, home-like food, lovely dogs, books in the living room, and kind hosts. Small acts like these say so much about the people behind a place. This didn't feel like staying at a hotel—it felt like being welcomed into someone's home.”

“Hotel Ethnic Trail is a beautiful homestay located in a valley in Naukuchiatal. Quite separated from the road so your peace won't be disturbed by traffic. Warm lighting with wooden furniture, geysers for 24x7 hot water, connected living area with books, and a big garden with a shaded dining area surrounded by a mini pond. The caretakers Santosh and Neetu were friendly and cook some of the most delicious food I have eaten! 5+ star experience.”

“We often take road trips with our pet GSD, and locating a spot that genuinely accommodates everyone has consistently been a struggle. Ethnic Trail Homestay ended up being everything we hoped for and beyond! The host and his family were exceptionally welcoming. Their cocker spaniel and indie warmly welcomed our boy. Homemade meals were rich in genuine flavours. Unforgettable experience!”

“Our stay in Naukuchiatal with family was truly memorable. The location itself is stunning—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Naman, along with his mom and dad, were such warm and welcoming hosts. The helpers on the property were attentive, ensuring everything was comfortable throughout our stay.”

“Our stay turned out to be one of the most comfortable and memorable trips. The location is fantastic, offering ample open space and a 360° view of beautiful mountains. Spacious room with comfortable bed and clean washroom. The Kumaoni food was excellent. We look forward to visiting again.”

“One of the best holiday homes I have ever stayed in. Beautifully and authentically designed with a charming ethnic touch. Truly feels like being in a natural eco-friendly village with plenty of space to relax. The food is of excellent quality and full of flavour.”
