Stay

Where you will sleep

We have a small number of rooms. Each one is different. None of them are trying to impress you.

The Aipan Room — Kumaoni Aipan motifs hand-painted in red geru on the bedroom walls

Room 01

The Aipan Room

The Aipan work on these walls was hand-painted by us — not a print, not a contractor's mural, drawn directly onto the plaster. The room faces the forest. It is quiet in the mornings.

The Valley Room — a wide window framing the snow-capped Kedarnath range

Room 02

The Valley Room

On clear days — which in Chopta means October mornings before the cloud comes in — you can see the Kedarnath range from this room. Most guests end up standing at the window longer than they planned.

The Meadow Room — twin beds with doors opening directly onto an alpine meadow

Room 03

The kitchen

What we eat

There is no restaurant menu. Our kitchen cooks what makes sense for the day — Garhwali dal, rice, seasonal vegetables, roti. If you have dietary requirements, tell us before you arrive and we will sort it out. The food is simple and it is good.

Together

Common spaces

There is a shared sitting room with a small library — mostly books about the Himalayas, Uttarakhand, and Kumaoni culture. You are welcome to borrow them and return them when you leave, or not return them if you find yourself attached. We also have a dining space where meals happen together, if guests are around.

The retreat is open April to June and September to November. We close during the monsoon and winter months.
