There were only very limited food options and the staff specially Lalit was very rude in his conduct. It almost felt he was our guest and not the other way around.  The staff should be courteous, and the food and beverages quality was also below average. Plus they charge you like a bomb for food for poor quality of food and that too they will decide what you have to eat. The moment you will request for something Lalit will give you a shut up call saying that's how it is.

Bad experience , not recommended

We had a wonderful time at Emerald Trail. The property is wonderfully located in a very quiet peaceful area. We stayed in the Rose Cottage, which spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The cottage also had an accompanying lawn with a gazebo and swing installed. The things I particularly appreciated were the library, beautiful petting animals, and swings that our children enjoying to the fullest. Additionally, the food was local, fresh, scrumptious, very affordable, and also to the taste of our young children. 
Special thanks to the staff on the property, including, Lalitji and Prashantji who very helpful and cooperative.

Excellent experience at Emerald Trail

This was my 5th visit to Emerald Trail, one can imagine why. It’s the most peaceful place in entire Bhimtal and has very simple home cooked food, large gardens with every cottage, friendliest staff & trekking, paragliding, boating options nearby.

A gem in Bhimtal

Keywords: Pets, peace, B&B - Butterflies & Birds!! Think green, open spaces, mountain views, serenity and quite! A cottage within a selection of cottages, with your own front yard, enclosed with bushes  which will make you 'unleash' your pet to go crazy and you go merry! 

That's what happened to us. After a friend recommended this to me, my wife and I along with my parents and our pet dog visited this beauty of a place for 2 nights. It's literally on a road less travelled as the road actually ends within a couple of kilometres after this. It's a place to unwind and just be. 

We took the Twin Cottage which was perfect for us two couples. In the front yard they also have a gazebo which works great for morning breakfast, evening snacks and even a roundtable discussion on family or other matters :) 

The staff is super helpful, obliging and extremely polite. Since the property is primarily for pet owners, the staff is pet friendly too. Mr Lalit and his wife Mrs Deepa were really helpful and lovely to talk to. They delighted me by actually getting me a couple of bottles of buransh squash (an Uttrakhand speciality and also a part of their menu) which I just casually enquired about when they served me the same. 

Don't expect fancy food. The food choices are limited but are sufficient for your appetite. It's all (north Indian) homemade and can actually be customised (less spice/more spice etc) as per you. Everything from food to other services on the property premises is primarily managed by Mr Lalit and his family and they do their job well. 

I'm sure I'm coming back here very soon!! 

'Unleash' your pets!! 

I love to go to this place. This is one of the most amazing property I have seen. The huge garden that is part of the bunglow is the best part as both my babies, fur and human can enjoy it to the fullest. This place is the true meaning of pet friendly and not just pet acceptable like all others.

Best place to go with pets

Emerald Trail is a beautiful place. The staff are friendly and welcoming, & are ready to cater to your requests promptly. Food is very good. Best of all, it is pet-friendly, & your pets are given the same loving care as you.

Happy stay in Emerald Trail.

I stumbled upon this little piece of heaven when I wanted to get away from Delhi for a short impromptu holiday with my mum, aunt, and four-legged baby, Mara. Travelling with senior citizens and a pet requires quite a bit of research and consideration. But the more reviews I read, the more enticing Emerald Trail appeared to be. Without second guessing my choice, we had packed up for a May 2023 trip to Emerald Trail, Jungliya Gaon (Bhimtal). How can I convince you to make a trip here (though I really want it to be my little secret getaway place)? Well, I came back here with more family members in October 2023. For senior citizens with knee and leg aches and pains, the initial steps (not too many) up is a wee bit strenuous, but the railings and people are enough to help you get to where you need to be. There are accommodations for every type of group - for my family of 6 adults, 1 child, and a dog we booked the Twin Cottage and opted for the sofa-cum beds too (I’d booked the Family Cottage in May. It had 2 large beds, an attached bathroom that was clean and spacious, a cupboard, and multiple shelves tables to put your bags/trinkets on). You do have to pay separately for the wi-fi though (it isn’t an exorbitant amount - we paid about Rs. 200 per room per day). 
Each cottage comes with its own enclosed (massive) garden that is ideal for the four legged babies to run wild (and did we go wild!). And you don’t have to worry about them getting lost or injured. The gardens are thoughtfully fenced to ensure our furry friends safety. The sprawling gardens are brilliant if you want to catch up on some running around, playing frisbee and badminton and ball. It was loads of fun! You can spend time bird watching or checking out the local flora. Also go  for walks around the area.
I can’t compliment the management and other staff members enough - they love animals (there are 2 dogs on the property who are energetic and gorgeous and loveable! There’s also a cow they rescued who grazes on any property that isn’t occupied by guests. She’s gentle and always open to getting some scritches). They treat all four-legged guests with equal respect and adoration. Also, you don’t have to worry about food for your furry friend - they have a special menu for them! Mara (my baby indie) enjoys the boiled veggie and dal stew with rice at night and has boiled eggs and curd for breakfast. If you want chicken and mutton, those options are available too. Even our menu was tailored to our preferences. Prakash Ji would cheerfully accommodate our requests of adding more spices to certain dishes while keeping others mild. We had 3 different chicken dishes, enjoyed various dal preparations including Bhat ki churkani, ate multiple portions of Maggi with butter and half-fried eggs (sunny-side up), and devoured many other simple yet scrumptious items. Try out the tea/coffee with bhaji. It’s brilliant for cold winter evenings. 
Emerald Trail is located away from the hustle and bustle of Bhimtal and the view (emerald green trees among others) that surrounds you will give you the much-needed reprieve your body, mind, and soul is looking for. Also the view and location definitely makes up for any spiders and other local bugs that might be enjoying your accommodation with you. 
This rustic and beautiful location isn’t for those who are looking for a 5-star accommodation with gourmet meals. It’s for those who want to soak up some sun, take in the green and blue, play ball and frisbee with their family, and let their four-legged babies get the freedom they deserve! 
I know for a fact I will be returning many more times (just me and my doggo, with family, and with friends). A heartfelt thank you to Lalit and Prakash and the didi and also a big thank you to Sumit (the owner of the property) for giving us pet parents a gorgeous pawcation destination. 
Emerald Trail is small (large) nook in the hills that I’ve become attached to, and I hope others get to experience a similar joy. (Note: the pics I’ve uploaded are a mix from my May and October visits.)
