Nestled in breath-taking natural surroundings of the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, Mary Budden Estate is a 19th century Himalayan forest home. It is one of the last virgin expanses of wilderness in the Himalayas. Remote yet accessible, Mary Budden Estate offers you the luxury of time and of space; and the enviable opportunity to disconnect in order to connect, deeply.

Elegant luxury at its finest, the wooded estate offers a cottage that sleeps six in three rooms and additional three double rooms. All accommodation is en-suite, tastefully appointed with logwood fireplaces, stone patios and several open sit-outs. Guests get to relish beautiful spaces for dining indoors and outdoors including private dining rooms and outdoor spaces with spectacular views.
