We absolutely loved the place, away from the crowd, in the middle of a lovely Sal forest… yet close to civilisation. The staff was friendly and always helpful, went out of the way to provide food for our fur baby even at 5am, as we had to leave early. For cyclists n runners, the Kamadi road uphill is just brilliant early morning. All the best to the team, would love to go back!

Last weekend I visited Saalwood with my family. It is very nice place situated in the middle of salwood forest and felt close to nature. We loved the hospitality, the staff was very supportive and food was awesome by chef Bhatt & team, mussoorie is in close proximity and view of mussoorie amazed you in nights from this place. We recommend visit this place to soothen your soul.
