Experience the stay in summer that offered views of mountains & woods blanketed in 50 Shades of Green. While in the winter get the panoramic views of snow brushed on Himalayan peaks including the majestic Nanda Devi. The spot is deep in the oak, rhododendron and pine forests. Located  at an altitude of 2250 mts on a cliff that gives a sense of being cut off from the outside world & experiencing inner peace. Stay in the restored traditional village house that has been touched up and converted into a cozy retreat without compromising on the authenticity. The house has 2 tastefully furnished bedrooms. The ground floor has been restored into a cozy seating area with board games and cushions where one can either play or grab a book from the library and enjoy reading while sitting in the laps of nature. The courtyard is neatly paved with slate slabs, and stone stairs which is a perfect place for lounging around, gazing at the blue sky in the day and counting stars at night. 

The vast expanse of the spot gives one an opportunity to explore, have an adventurous yet therapeutic experience with nature. The place offers:
