My girl friend and i have created this wonderful home away from home in the Himalayan state of UttaraKhand India. It has the most spectacular views of the valley and the lakes (which our area is famous for) are all within the vicinity. We love and enjoy meeting and befriending interesting folks with interests such as a passion for travel, exploring new places, enjoying mother nature's bounty and good food !!! So,we opened our little "paradise in the hills" for other like minded travellers to enjoy, relax, chill !!!!
Our mantra - "Genuine Hospitality"
We have 4 extra bedrooms, tastefully decorated and well maintained. 2 of the bedrooms are independent from the main villa and comes complete with a well stocked dry kitchennette. All rooms are fully furnished with top of the line linen, furnishings, clean and modern bathrooms, etc. All rooms overlook the valley and the are east facing - so nice and sunny and bright.
I am a passionate cook and so is my partner. We specialise in Pan Indian cuisine and love to feed. We also do great bar-be-ques (Indian style, of course) in the winters on our outdoor wood fired pit.
I love accompanying my guests on long easy walks, evening jeep safaris, boating in the lake nearby, mahaseer fishing, etc.
We are pet friendly home and have a couple of local himalayan dogs living on the premises. Ample parking space available.
