Built in 1933 by a Sanskrit scholar for his Polish doctor wife, the Chestnut House sits in a 40.4-hectare forest in the South Gola range. Owing to its location, it is perfectly positioned to give the best view of the Nanda Devi.

There are two suites, two double bedrooms, two cottages and a Kumaoni house known as The Farm. Except for the house, the rest of the accommodations are named after fruits, flowers and trees that grow in the surroundings. Through the furnishings and colours, each accommodation carries visible symbols of the fauna they are named after. For instance, towel stands in the Utish suite are made from Utish, the local alder tree, and the scarlet hue of the Buransh suite symbolises the colour of the rhododendron flower after which it is named.

The occasional sound of wildlife amid peaceful surroundings create a tranquil environment where guests can work from the comforts of their rooms.
