Mary Budden Estate

Mary Budden Estate is located in a cozy corner of the Kumaon hills, in the magnificent middle Himalayan Mountains in India. You will get to unwind and re-connect with nature at our luxury home stay, a fully restored heritage home dating back to the 19th century.

Come to Mary Budden Estate to relax in a serene setting within the secluded Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, where we are proud of our environmental and cultural sustainability. We harvest rain water and the estate is fully powered by solar energy and its gardens are abundant with organic produce.

In the sanctuary, the chance sighting of a leopard is humbling, shy yet nimble barking deer and mountain goats dot the green mountains while over 250 species of birds chirp and add music to any hike in these old forests.

Besides the beauty of the Binsar forests, the Himalayas tower majestically above us, a vantage point “Zero Point” offering a stunning 180 degree view of the world’s youngest and highest mountain ranges. The view of the Himalayas has been quoted by Bill Aitken as “the best view point” of the Himalayas in the Kumaon.
