HistoryEdit
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.
