Day 1: Arrive + Settle In + Sunset Views
1) Check in and do… nothing (for a while)
When you reach Mukteshwar, don’t run out immediately. First, let the hills “switch you off.”
At Muskan Mount View Retreat Resort, Mukteshwar, the whole point is the calm: mountain air, quiet surroundings, and those open views that make tea taste better. Your homepage positioning of peace + nature + comfort is exactly what people search for in Mukteshwar.
Easy ideas for the first hour
- Hot tea + a slow walk around the property
- Photos while the light is soft
- Ask staff what time sunset looks best from your side
2) Sunset at a viewpoint (low effort, high reward)
Mukteshwar sunsets can feel unreal when the sky clears. You don’t need a “big trek” for this—just pick a nearby viewpoint, go 30–45 minutes before sunset, and stay till it’s almost dark.
Tip: Carry a light jacket even in warmer months—hill evenings cool down fast.
3) Dinner + early sleep (seriously)
Mukteshwar mornings are the real show. Sleep early so you can wake up without regret.
Day 2: Sunrise + Temple + Cliff View + Local Cafe Time
1) Sunrise: the easiest “wow moment”
Set an alarm. Even if you’re not a morning person, Mukteshwar will convert you at least once.
Mini packing list for sunrise
- Warm layer + socks
- Tea/coffee (or ask for it)
- Phone + power bank (cold drains batteries faster)
2) Mukteshwar Temple + Chauli Ki Jali (must-do combo)
This is the classic Mukteshwar experience: spirituality + dramatic views + that edge-of-the-world feeling.

- Chauli Ki Jali is the rocky cliff area behind the temple and is roughly a short walk away (commonly described around a few hundred meters).

- Short nature walk
- Just sit with a view and talk like it’s 2012 again

If you want something offbeat and don’t mind a bit of walking, Bhalu Gaad Waterfall is often described as a scenic nature spot near Mukteshwar (many travellers visit it as a half-day plan).
