A look around
What's here
The first one to greet you is usually Krypto, the German Shepherd, with a happy tail. This is a family home, run by Mukesh and his wife, a kilometre up from Raithal village. The long front veranda, strung with prayer flags, looks out at the mountains. It's where you’ll have your morning tea.
The home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, accommodating up to six guests. The rooms are simple and clean, with exposed brick walls and art on the walls. Some rooms have low wooden beds, while others have comfortable floor mattresses, set on a carpet. The hosts live on the property and share their space with a low-carbon footprint ethos. As one guest put it, "The whole place is curated with so much love."
Meals are a big part of the stay here. Expect healthy, home-cooked Garhwali food, made from fresh local ingredients. Hot water is available, which is welcome in the mountain cold. Guests say the hosts treat them like family, often sharing stories over dinner or arranging a bonfire for stargazing. "The food is healthy, home-cooked, and genuinely delicious, and the hosts are warm, friendly people."

Logistics
Getting there.
The closest airport is Jolly Grant Airport (DED) in Dehradun. The nearest major railhead is in Haridwar (HW). From either Dehradun or Haridwar, Raithal is a full day's drive. You can hire a private taxi for the journey, which takes you through the Garhwal Himalayas.
Seasons
Best time to visit.
The home is open year-round. The clearest skies and best weather for trekking are from March to June and again from September to November. The views of the high peaks are sharpest during these months. The monsoon season, July and August, sees heavy rain and can cause landslides on the roads. From December to February, the region sees heavy snowfall, and the Dayara Bugyal meadows are completely covered in snow, offering a different kind of beauty.
