King Of The Hill: Pahadi House, A Himalayan Homestay

Nestled in the arms of the hills and valleys of Kanatal, Pahadi House is a beautiful eco-friendly resort and homestay.

A series of yellow painted cottages lie nestled together in Uttarakhand. These cottages {repurposed houses of villagers who have moved on} are the delightful grounds of the homestay Pahadi House.

Positioning themselves as a peaceful, eco-friendly space, the Pahadi House property is the perfect location for revitalising one’s emotional and spiritual health, away from the bedlam of the city.

Their cosy Deluxe Cottages have a kitchen and Wi-Fi for personal use and even wheelchair access. Every room is slightly different in size, so don’t be surprised if you have a different room from your friends!

Drop your daily stress and tune into a holistic experience with their activities. You can take village walks, join in meditation and yoga sessions, take picnics in the forest, or take part in their organic farming and cooking. Beyond this, you can enjoy the typical hill station activities of star gazing, photography, bird watching, and hikes & treks.

And if you’re feeling like giving back, you can even volunteer at the local NGO.

Kantal, at an altitude of 1,700 metres, is the perfect location to recuperate. A small, friendly, and sleepy hill station, you will have nothing but the sights, smells, and sounds of nature to lull you into a comfortable daze, if that is what you want. If not, you can always easily visit Mussoorie, Dhanaulti, Tehri, and Chamba.
