Escape to Paradise: Your Nainital Hammock Awaits at Pura Stays!
Escape to Paradise: Pura Stays Nainital - My Unfiltered Hammock-and-Hills Odyssey! (SEO-Optimized, Trust Me!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I just got back from Pura Stays in Nainital, and honestly? My brain's still slightly in the clouds, probably thanks to all the fresh mountain air and, let's be honest, the sheer chill factor of this place. This isn't your usual, perfectly polished hotel review. This is your honest-to-goodness, slightly-disorganized-but-totally-enthusiastic dispatch from the field. So, let's dive in, shall we?
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, "Can a City Slicker Survive the Hills?!")
Getting to Pura Stays is a bit of an adventure. Nainital itself is…well, hilly. If you're used to flat surfaces, prepare for some calf workouts. Luckily, the hotel seems to have done a decent job with accessibility. I didn't personally need a wheelchair, but I did see well-placed ramps and an elevator. I'd recommend checking with them directly about specific needs regarding Facilities for disabled guests. The CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property definitely make you feel secure. The Elevator is a lifesaver! The Front desk [24-hour], as well as the Doorman there, are always available to assist
Then, the moment you arrive, the view hits you like a warm, fuzzy hug. And that, my friends, is where the escape truly begins.
Rooms - My Cozy Mountain Nest (And That Hammock!)
My room? Glorious. Absolutely glorious. Let's start with the basics: Air conditioning (thank god, even in the hills, sometimes), Free Wi-Fi (a MUST for us social media addicts – more on that later!), Free bottled water (hydration is key!), and a Coffee/tea maker (morning bliss!). The Bedding was supremely comfortable, the Blackout curtains were perfect for sleeping in, and the Seating area was just begging for a good book (which, admittedly, I spent most of my time reading in my Hammock, because, duh!). I had an Extra long bed which was awesome, and found the Socket near the bed amazing as well.
Here’s a little, slightly embarrassing anecdote: I actually squealed when I saw the Hammock on my balcony. I’m talking a full-on, "OMG, I'm living my best life!" kind of squeal. And you know what? I spent a solid afternoon doing absolutely nothing but swinging, reading, and occasionally gazing at the stunning view. Pure. Bliss. If you are looking for a Couple's room, or Interconnecting room(s) available, they have got them. The Balcony I had (a MUST for this hotel!) the Umbrella, and the Window that opens were also great.
Now, for a minor (and I’m sure fixable) gripe: The internet. While Wi-Fi [free] is available in all rooms, it can sometimes be a little…spotty. But honestly, who cares when you're surrounded by such beauty? I used the LAN connection as well, just to add it up.
Cleanliness & Safety - Feeling Safe and Sound
Look, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so cleanliness is HUGE for me. Pura Stays passed with (a sanitized) flying colors. They're clearly taking COVID seriously, which is a huge relief. I noticed Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, and tons of Hand sanitizer everywhere. The staff was always wearing masks and seemed genuinely committed to your safety. I really appreciated the Safe dining setup with Individually-wrapped food options. Plus, the fact that they had a Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit gave me some peace of mind. They have even Smoke alarms in place!
The Safety/security feature, and Security [24-hour] gave me a safe feeling as well. The hotel has a Fire extinguisher as well.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - The Food Coma is Real (and Delicious)
Okay, let's talk food. Because, let's be honest, that's a major part of any vacation, right? The Asian breakfast was actually amazing, and their Western breakfast was solid. I found the Breakfast [buffet] a bit generic; I wish they'd offer some local, more unique things, but it certainly filled me up. You can also grab a Breakfast in room. The A la carte in restaurant option, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Snack bar, Poolside bar, Restaurants, and Room service [24-hour] are also available.
One evening, I indulged in the Asian cuisine in restaurant. Delicious! And the Desserts in restaurant? OMG, worth every calorie. They have Salad in restaurant as well, which is a good option for me.
They also have a Bar for those who like it!
Things to Do (Besides Lounging) - A Little Bit of Adventure
It's easy to get lost in the relaxation at Pura Stays. As well as the Pool with view, you get: Steamroom, Gym/fitness, Spa, and Swimming pool [outdoor].
Services and Conveniences - Because Life Should Be Easy
One thing I REALLY appreciated was the convenience. They had Laundry service (because, let's face it, no one wants to do laundry on vacation!), Dry cleaning, Concierge service (super helpful for booking tours and making restaurant reservations), and Daily housekeeping. They also offer Invoice provided. The Cash withdrawal and Cashless payment service came in as well. The Exterior corridor allows a safer feeling as well.
For the Kids & More Fun
I'm not traveling with kids, but I did notice they have some Kids facilities, including a Babysitting service.
Getting Around - Your Nainital Transportation Options
Airport transfer is available, but it’s a bit of a drive. Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site] are great. They also have Valet parking.
Things I Loved (And Maybe Didn't Love as Much)
- LOVED: The view. The hammock. The overall vibe of relaxation. The fact that I could truly "escape."
- Didn’t Love: The sometimes spotty internet. The breakfast could have been a little more exciting.
- Quirk: I spent an embarrassing amount of time taking pictures of the sunrise. I also used Self-care with the spa services.

Pura Stays is perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone looking to truly unwind and reconnect with nature.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a messy, glorious mess of a trip to The Hammock - Pura Stays in Nainital, India. This ain't your perfectly curated Instagram feed; this is REAL life. Get ready for some serious emotional whiplash and a whole lotta "OMG, what was I thinking?!" moments.
The Messy, Humbling, and Occasionally Glorious Itinerary (Or, How I Spent My Time Trying to Find a Damn Hammock in Nainital)
Day 1: Arrival and the Joy of Altitude (and Jet Lag)
- Morning (ish, let's be honest, it was Noon-ish): Arrived in Delhi. Delhi. Need I say more? Traffic. Chaos. Beautiful chaos, mind you, but still… (Opinionated Aside: Seriously, if you're not prepared for the Delhi traffic, you might as well just stay home. Pack patience, people. And maybe a sedative.) The drive to Nainital… well that was longer, and more winding. I swear, every hair on my head stood on end. Got into the car and did everything I could to stop myself from throwing up.
- Afternoon: Finally… Nainital! The air! Crisp, clean, and blessedly cool after the Delhi heat. Check-in at The Hammock – Pura Stays. First impressions? Squeal Charming! Rugs, wood floors, and the promise of a hammock. (Anecdote Time: The "promise" of a hammock. Turns out, finding a vacant hammock was more challenging than finding a unicorn in a tutu. Apparently, everyone else had the same idea as me… to, ahem, "chill". But I’m stubborn, and the day is young…)
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Exploration! Strolled around the lake. Took about fifteen minutes to realize: altitude sickness. My heart felt like it was doing the samba, and I had a pounding headache. ** (Quirky Observation: My brain was doing this thing where it was like, "Oxygen? What's that?" And then I remembered I had forgotten to eat.)** Quick recovery: Maggi noodles are a life saver, a cure for all ills, and probably the only reason I survived the first night in Nainital. Ate those, then immediately fell asleep.
- Evening: Woke up (still light outside), and wandered back down for dinner. Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, and the view was spectacular. Spent hours just staring out at the lake. Then I went to bed.
Day 2: Hammock Hunt and the Thrill of a Lake Ride (and Possibly Hypothermia)
- Morning: Determined to conquer the hammock situation. This was my mission. Failure was not an option! My eyes scanned the area as if it was the most important moment of my life, the ultimate test. Found a hammock. Victory! (Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated bliss. For about fifteen minutes. Then a small child wanted to play on it too. Sigh).
- Mid-morning: Okay, so, this is where things slightly unravelled. Decided a boat ride on the lake would be lovely. It was lovely. For about five minutes. Then the wind picked up. Then the rain started. Then the boatman, bless his heart, started looking increasingly concerned. (Honest Reaction: I was freezing. My teeth were chattering so hard I thought they might fall out. And it was glorious! The wind, the rain… the sheer absurdity of it all!) Didn't die. Which is always a win.
- Afternoon: Warm shower. Hot tea. Wrapped in about ten blankets. Regroup. Recover. Then… back to the hammock hunt. Got the hammock. Read a book. Fell asleep. Woke up to find a monkey trying to steal my… well, everything. (Messy Structure Alert: RAAAAGH! Monkeys! I hate monkeys! They are like furry little thieves with evil intentions. Seriously, they're adorable until they're trying to snatch your chapstick or your hopes and dreams.)
- Evening: Dinner. Some local delicacies. Delicious. Wandered the streets a little, but the rain had me running back to the hotel, fast.
Day 3: The View, The Hike, and (Maybe) a Moment of Zen (Or Just a Really Good Chai)
- Morning: Woke up early. The view! Oh, the view! The air was so clean, it felt like my lungs were getting a deep cleanse. Seriously, breathtaking.
- Midafternoon: Decided to hike up to… a view point. ** (Rambling Alert: I'd read about this hike. It was supposed to be "easy." Ha! The people who wrote that clearly hadn't encountered my fitness level. It was steep. It was rocky. I sweat so much I thought I was going to melt. But the view at the top… worth every single breathless, gasping, "I can't go on!" moment).**
- Afternoon: Tea time! This is where things get interesting. This cup of chai… it was transcendental. The perfect blend of spices, the warmth… it was like a hug in a mug. (Doubling Down on a Single Experience: I'm not even exaggerating. Seriously, this chai changed my life. It was the perfect level of sweet, and, I'm not sure how, but it was also the right temperature. All of it. Just perfect.) Sat and watched the world go by. Actually. Truly content. (For about an hour, at least!)
- Evening: Packing. The dreaded packing. Said goodbye to Nainital and checked into the hotel for the night before hitting the road to Delhi.
Day 4: The return journey!
- Morning: Heading back to Delhi.
- Afternoon: Arriving in Delhi, stuck in traffic.
- Evening: Arriving at home, and already longing for The Hammock – Pura Stays Nainital.
Final Thoughts (and Possibly a Few Tears of Joy/Relief)
So, there you have it. My messy, honest, and unforgettable trip to The Hammock – Pura Stays in Nainital. It wasn't perfect. It was sometimes frustrating. I almost lost my mind a few times. But the memories? The views? The chai? Absolutely worth it. Would I do it again? YES! (But next time, I'm bringing my own hammock. And maybe a bodyguard for the monkeys.) Cheers to travel, to adventure, and to the sheer, beautiful chaos of being human. Now… where's that chai?
Unbelievable Bromo Volcano Villa: Breathtaking Views & Unforgettable Stays!
So, what *IS* this "Escape to Paradise" thing, anyway? Sounds a bit… much.
Look, let's be real, "paradise" is a loaded word. But Pura Stays in Nainital? It gets pretty darn close. Think breathtaking views of the Himalayas, crisp mountain air that actually *tastes* clean, and, yes, a hammock. A gloriously swaying hammock that, let's be honest, is where you'll spend half your time. The other half? Probably stuffing your face with momos. More on that later. Basically, it’s a chance to ditch the city noise and, you know, breathe. And try to remember why you love life. Which is surprisingly easy up there.
Okay, okay, hammocks sound nice. But what’s the deal with Pura Stays itself? Is it actually… good? Like, really?
Alright, deep breath before I launch into this. My *experience*? Well, let's put it this way: I showed up expecting… something generic. You know, the Instagram-perfect aesthetic where everything's pristine and you secretly feel like you need a shower after looking at the pictures. Nope. Pura Stays is different. It's got character. The rooms are charming, a little rustic, not super modern, but cozy. The staff? They're not just employees; they're genuinely friendly people. One lady, bless her heart, kept trying to get me to eat more. And the food? Oh. My. God. Okay, I need to eat first. I'll be a while... *munch munch munch*
Food! You mentioned the food. Spill the beans (or the momos, rather). What can I expect?
The food… right, so it’s the kind of food that makes you *want* to break your diet. It's home-cooked goodness. Okay, if I'm being real, I was there for 3 days and I swear I gained 5 pounds. And I don't even regret it. There were these delicious pancakes that were on point and every single meal I was full and content. The momos, though? Dear god, the momos. Steaming hot pockets of deliciousness. They had a secret sauce... I wanted to bottle it and take it home. I might or might not have asked for the recipe. They politely declined. *sad face*
What's the *vibe*? Is it a party place or a quiet retreat? Because I need to know where I can recover from the party place.
Okay, the vibe? Think…relaxed. Think ‘waking up and not immediately checking your phone.’ It’s more retreat. They have a common area, it’s not a loud party scene, not in my experience. I didn't want to be around people. And it was great, I could do my own thing, read my book, and just be. Think quiet mornings with a cup of tea, leisurely afternoons swinging in that hammock, and evenings stargazing. It's the kind of place where you can actually de-stress. The kind which works for both introvert and extrovert.
Alright, I'm sold. But like, is it truly *remote*? I need Wi-Fi AND peace. Can I get both?
Remote, yes. In the best way possible. You *feel* like you're off the grid, but the Wi-Fi… it's there. A little patchy at times, which, honestly, is probably a good thing. It forces you to look up and enjoy the view. But yes, you can generally connect so you can do your socials. But... try to disconnect. I promise, the world won't end if you don't check your email every five minutes. Embrace the digital detox, friend. You won't regret it. Except maybe if your boss is the type who would definitely fire you for not responding... sorry.
Okay, so, downsides? There *have* to be some. Nothing’s perfect. Spill.
Okay, okay, you want the truth? Here it is. The road getting there? A bit bumpy. Literally. The last stretch is a bit... unpaved. Pack accordingly. The other thing? It’s not luxury. Don't go expecting a five-star resort experience. But here is the thing. You trade the luxury for that down-to-earth experience. No white gloving service here. I love the simplicity. And you know what they say; there's no such thing as a perfect stay.
Is it family-friendly? Or should I leave my kids at… home? (kidding!… mostly.)
I saw a few families, so yes, it’s family-friendly. However, I think it really depends on your kids. If they're the type who need constant stimulation and aren't happy without their iPads, then… maybe consider a different kind of vacation. But if they love exploring nature, are up for a little adventure, and appreciate a good book… then they’ll probably love it. This all depends on them. The peaceful nature can work for some kids and not others.
Anything I should pack that isn't obvious? I like to be prepared.
Okay, packing advice from someone who *sometimes* remembers to pack a toothbrush… Bring layers! Mountain weather can change on a dime. A good book (or two!). A flashlight (because sometimes the power goes out). Comfy shoes for walking, and a reusable water bottle. Oh, and a healthy dose of good vibes. Trust me, you’ll need it. And if you're anything like me, pack extra snacks. Because, momos. Obviously.
Okay, last question I PROMISE: Would you go back? Real talk.
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. I already checked the calendar and made an email to my boss for a vacation. I can almost feel that hammock swaying under me. I am already dreaming of those pancakes, those momos, and that clean air. If you’re looking for a place to truly unwind, to reconnect with yourself and with nature, then Pura Stays is a winner. It's not perfect, it's not fancy, but it's real. And sometimes, real is exactly what you need. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to start planning my nextBlog Hotel Search Site
