THE TRIKONE DIFFERENCE
The deodars got here first — tall, unhurried, wrapping this hundred-year-old house in their shade. It was Shahena's childhood home, lovingly restored (not rebuilt) by two architect friends who wanted to keep its old-world charm exactly as it was the same stone, the same timber, the same quiet. Step through the gate and the hills hold you first, then the house does. This is a slow vacation, made for feeling everything.
— Mansi & Shahena, Co-founders
ONE HOME, TWO WAYS TO STAY
Opposite Nainital High Court, next to the forest. Close enough to explore, quiet enough to exhale.
The Bungalow
For those who want history under their feet.
The Cottage
For those who want the forest at their doorstep.
One Ethos
Every stone and beam in this house is a hundred years old — reused, not replaced. We work with local craftsmen, source from the valley, and try to leave Nainital a little better than we found it. Nothing complicated. Just a house, and a community, worth taking care of.
