About Shakti 360° at Leti

A high-end, high-altitude hideaway for those looking to escape the world.
Shakti 360 Leti is truly an untouched paradise. Tucked away in the rarely-visited region of Kumaon, deep in the Himalayas, this unique bolthole offers a one-of-a-kind mountain experience. The property itself is crafted from stone, wood and glass to blend beautifully with its simple but breathtaking surroundings and the key is in the name - everywhere you look, there's an even better view of the snow-hatted Himalayas, usually reserved for the most hardened of hikers. Walking is the name of the game, but if you want to hunker down, breathe in the mountain air, and just relax, this is a pretty good place to do it...

Property details

The property

The futuristic architecture has been designed to perfectly complement Shakti's breathtaking surroundings. Efforts have also been made to keep the footprint as small as possible and the whole place is solar-powered and natural textiles are used throughout. Despite being a world away from, well, the world, outstanding food is totally standard and you'll have an opportunity to taste both Tibetan and Indian recipes. Munch either in the communal living and dining areas (next to the fireplace is the prime spot), or request a private dinner at your room.

The rooms

The four stone-built bedroom cabins have at least one wall of glass so you never have to be without those incredible views. Inside, there are wood-burning stoves to keep you warm, cosy pashminas to sink into and plenty of sheepskin rugs adorn the slate floors. Bathrooms are spacious and beautiful with enormous showers and brass fittings, and each of the rooms has an excellent selection of games as well, just in case you fancy a break from hiking... At night, when the stars begin to flicker, head outside to your private fire-pit and get ready for the celestial show.

Activities

Hiking, hiking and more hiking. The area around Shakti is spectacular - think crystal waterfalls tumbling into ice-blue pools, temples hiding in the forests and ever-so pretty local villages - and exploring on foot is always magical. We also recommend taking a cookery class with a local family, and learning the secrets of the native cuisine. Guided sun salutations and yoga sessions can also be arranged if you're looking for a meditative experience - we're not sure there could be a better setting for it.
Why we love it

Why we love it

The views! Sitting at almost 2,500 metres, the panoramic vistas have to be seen to be believed.
Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

Stay only here, or combine a few nights with the Shakti Kumaon Village Walk, which will lead you along Himalayan mountain trails, staying in rustic village houses along the way.
Something to think about

Something to think about

Getting here isn't for the faint of heart and even those who don't opt to do the Kumaon Village Walk will still need to walk 1.5 hours to reach the lodge. But it's all worth it, we promise...
