About us

Our peregrinations and escapades have taken us to remote villages in rural Himalaya, and the one striking factor was the "atithi devo bhava" (one who is a guest is God) philosophy followed with diligent dedication by the austere and hardworking people of the hills. It is this very aspect of rural life that we deliberated upon to start this venture.

We incorporated the traditional style of building huts and employed local craftsmen and workers to work on the site.

Our attempt is to build an ambience of typical Kumaoni village life… Hospitality from the heart…A laid back life…Simple and healthy food… And a super deluxe king-sized forest.

One of our endeavors is to employ and train local youth about the ways of eco-tourism.
