Cloud End Forest Resort

Hotel Dunsvirk Court

The Swetenhams moved back to England in 1964. It was acquired from them by Mr. Durga Ram Agarwal, who was the last General Manager of the Sirmor and Kaulagarh Tea Estate, as a summer house for his family.

Mr. Agarwal could take a look at his new possession only a year later, after he had got a road constructed from Hathipaon to Cloud End for his Jeep.

His youngest son, Mr. Digvijay Agarwal, inherited the state from him, and in 1991, started the resort, with the support and assistance of his wife, the late Mrs. Bhavna Agarwal. It was a conscious decision on their part to make the resort as self-reliant as possible and it runs on harvested rainwater, solar and wind energy. The one concession made to modern existence is the Internet connection.

The resort has proved hugely successful among discerning wilderness enthusiasts and justified the approach taken by the promoters. Most importantly of all, it fully protects your privacy.

The Bungalow still retains the original architecture, furniture, paintings, books and memorabilia of a bygone era. The surrounding forest of oak and deodar teem with forty-four species of flora and a hundred and three species of fauna.
If after all this, you still wish to spend your holiday in a mini- metro like Mussoorie,  That's fine with us. Millions of others do.
