Bask in the sun and read a book or enjoy working from home while sipping pahadi chai with the host family who are the local Kumaoni residents of the property since the 1950s.
I spent several wonderful days here. I was grateful to Prashant for being such a wonderful host. The rooms are lovely, and the home as a whole has a lot of charm. I liked sitting in the garden and watching the sunset over the lake. The homestay is located on a hill and has stairs, however this was not an issue for me. Prashant can link visitors with bike taxis, but I was satisfied to walk.
Amazing people, location, stay, and cuisine.
It is really worthwhile.
Prashant assists you with filling up the gaps in your plan by sharing cab, rental, and other contact information. Always react quickly and clearly.
Food provided is simply excellent. And the site is very stunning. Cabs cannot go the last 300 metres that Prashant communicates from the start. If you don't want to walk the distance, there are bike taxis available.
I highly suggest this hotel for its views, cuisine, and kindness.

My experience at this homestay was nothing short of spectacular. From the minute I arrived, the host greeted me graciously and went above and beyond to assure my comfort during my stay. The facility itself was perfect, with every detail well cared to.
He was not only a polite host, but also an excellent guide, providing helpful recommendations for area activities and restaurants. Their rapid communication and sincere warmth made me feel like a welcome guest, rather than a passing visitor.
