A look around

What's here

The home is built from local stone, set against a forested hill. From the lawn, you can watch the sun set over the valley. The property has seven bedrooms, each with its own attached bathroom and king-sized bed. Some rooms open onto balconies with views of the mountains, while an upper level features a unique tented room with stone-and-plaster walls. As one guest, Shifali, put it, there are "breathtaking Himalayan views right from the bed." The home is run by Philip, who is often around to help plan a walk or share a story. His team, including Shyamal kaka and Om, manage the details. Guests often mention their warmth, saying Philip "treats everyone like family." While meals are not included by default, guests have full access to the kitchen to prepare their own food. The clear skies here are a highlight. Another guest, Vinit, noted, "The clear mountain skies provided an incredible view of countless stars, creating unforgettable nights under the heavens." It’s a quiet place, designed for slowing down. It's the kind of place where, as a guest wrote, "What began as a two-day stay turned into three because I simply didn’t want to leave."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

The home is a good base for exploring the Garhwal region. You can visit Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world. It’s a 4-hour climb from the village of Chopta. The Valley of Flowers, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is open from July to September; the trek begins from Govindghat. Every evening in Rishikesh, you can witness the Ganga Aarti ceremony at Triveni Ghat or Parmarth Niketan. In winter, from December to March, Auli offers skiing. The rest of the year, its oak and rhododendron meadows are open for trekking.

Logistics

Getting there.

The nearest airport for the Garhwal region is Jolly Grant Airport (DED) in Dehradun. The closest major railhead is in Haridwar. From either Dehradun or Haridwar, you can hire a taxi for the onward journey. Rishikesh serves as the main road hub for the region, with bus and taxi services connecting to the upper Himalayas.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The clearest skies are from March to June and again from September to November, making these the best months to visit. The monsoon season, from July to August, brings heavy rain and the risk of landslides on mountain roads. High-altitude destinations like Auli and Chopta are often closed from December to February due to heavy snowfall.
