Soulitude by the Riverside
A sense of oneness
At Soulitude, time slows to the gentle rhythm of the mountains and river. Surrounded by forests, flowing water and open skies, you begin to reconnect with nature and with yourself. Days unfold simply: long walks, quiet moments, nourishing meals and warm conversations. It is a place where the mind rests, the senses awaken and the spirit feels lighter.
Here, solitude becomes Soulitude.
Reflections by
the river.
Tucked away in the quiet village of Dharti, Soulitude by the Riverside sits beside the clear waters of the Kalsa River. The many sounds of the flowing water and rustling trees create a space for reflection and calm. Whether you spend your day exploring forest trails or simply sitting by the riverbank, nature surrounds you in every moment.

Chanfi is a quiet Himalayan village set in a deep valley near Nainital and Bhimtal. Known for its farms, forests and spring-fed river, the region produces off-season vegetables, flowers and fresh produce. With very little tourist traffic, it remains a peaceful corner of Kumaon where village paths, birdlife and untouched nature define the landscape. Learn More.
Chanfi is easily accessible from Delhi via Kathgodam, the nearest railway station, about an hour and a half away. Pantnagar Airport, around 65 km from Chanfi, offers limited flight connectivity from Delhi. From Kathgodam or Pantnagar, a scenic drive through the Kumaon hills brings you to the village and the short trek to Soulitude. Learn More.
Food at Soulitude is simple, fresh and nourishing, inspired by home kitchens and local Kumaoni flavours. Meals are thoughtfully prepared using seasonal ingredients and produce from nearby farms. The experience focuses on wholesome food shared together, complemented by warm hospitality. Learn More.
Chanfi enjoys a pleasant climate through the year, with each season offering its own unique charm. Spring brings blossoms and fresh greenery, summers are cool by the river, monsoons paint the hills vibrant green, and winters offer bright sunshine and crisp mountain air. With clear skies, fresh air and the constant flow of the Kalsa river, it is a destination that can be enjoyed year round. Learn More.
