Want to get away from the city but not from its creature comforts? Heading out to the hills but don’t want to rough it? Then Junoon, with its range of amenities, incredible comfort and breathtaking mountain views, is where you should head to.

Junoon means ‘passion’ in Urdu, and from the minute you pull up outside its doors, Junoon in the Hills showcases the passion with which the owners have brought it to life, high in the hills of Kumaon. The estate is built high up on the side of a mountain, thus ensuring breathtaking mountain vistas and achingly photogenic sunsets.

The owners have an eye for the finer things in life and this is evident throughout the property, which is in two parts: the main house (3 bedrooms) and a separate, smaller house (2 bedrooms).

Art by names that sound familiar, lush upholstery and fittings, a pool table, an entertainment centre with a large flat-screen TV, a well-equipped gym, a multi-level landscaped garden, and all this overseen by well-trained staff who ensure that you can drink in the glorious views in comfort.

And it’s these views that will always set Junoon apart, which is still saying a lot considering this is a part of India where there are stunning views at every turn.
