Tucked into our own private apple orchard in the heart of Harshil Valley, our two-storey homestay offers a peaceful Himalayan retreat just an hour from Gangotri. Whether you're on the Char Dham pilgrimage, exploring nearby Mukhwa and Bagori villages, or simply escaping the plains for crisp mountain air, our home is designed to feel like your own corner of the valley. The ground floor opens onto a covered common deck that doubles as our dining area — the perfect spot for warm meals and slow conversations, sheltered in any weather. Upstairs, an open deck stretches out toward the snow-clad peaks, ideal for morning chai, sunset views, and quiet evenings under starlit Himalayan skies. Wake up to apple blossoms in spring, fresh fruit in autumn, and birdsong year-round. Every stay includes a wholesome home-cooked breakfast and reliable hot water — small comforts that matter in the mountains. G E T T I N G H E R E Our home is reached via a scenic 1 km uphill trek from the Harshil–Gangotri Highway, through a beautiful deodar forest. Parking is available at the trail start, and we can arrange luggage assistance for a nominal fee.
