ACCOMMODATION & DINNING

ACTIVITIES
Wayfarer Retreat is an ideal getaway for all those in search of a longish escape from over crowded cities. Sometimes it could be a convenient stop over for travellers heading to and from Munsyari.

For all nature lovers there are several trails that lead into the surrounding forest. A variety of Himalayan birds can be seen in and around the area. Some of the attractions include red-billed blue magpie, blossom headed parakeet, black headed oriole, thrush, jungle myna and bush chat. Close to the Retreat is a musk deer farm which involves an easy trek of two kilometres from the road head.

Around 45 kilometres away is Patal Bhubaneshwar. This is a "must see" for all guests at Retreat. Patal Bhubaneshwar offers a surreal experience - a complex maze of underground caves serrated with fang-like stalactites and stalagmites.

The Retreat often serves as a base camp for trekkers going up to Pindari and Sunderdunga glaciers.
