Obviously, this tour operator had enough of tent fleas, yak cheese and smelly sleeping bags while trekking the base of the Himalayas—and this camp was born 18 months ago. Leti, a five-hour drive from Almora, Uttaranchal, has a panoramic view of the Himalayas to soak in, without the exertion. Dining off damask tablecloths by candlelight, sipping select world wines and feasting on haute cuisine prepared by the chef, a Tibetan monk, one can then retire to the comfort of a four-poster bed, pashmina blankets and feather duvets. Tagged at US $650 per night. Minimum 3 nights. Heli-hop to Karkodam or charter a flight to Pant Nagar, at extra cost. Most likely to bump into frazzled bankers, finance whizkids, from Britain and Europe.
