Situated at an altitude of around 2100 metres, this 30 year old house has been converted into a Himalayan style mud house made from stones and woods. It is located in the Danikhet Village of Urgam Valley, on the famous Rudranath Trek. This place has been built on the concept of sustainable and community-living. If you want a authentic Himalayan experience with organic food, local culture and nature hikes, this is the perfect place for you.

The space
1 room with a double bed will be provided located at the upper floor. The room is built traditionally using stones, wood and a mud coating. The room has a power back-up, WiFi, access to the balcony and a direct view of the himalayan peaks. Since it is a traditinal mudhouse, the washrooms are located outside. Both, the Indian style washroom and the Western style washroom, provide hot water. Our front terrace offers space to practice yoga and meditation in peace. Nestled on the edge of the Himalayan jungle, lots of short treks (1 - 4 hours) start from our property. We look forward to discover the unexplored nature of Urgam Valley with you! :)

Guest access
The garden, community room, kitchen and terrace is accessible for the guests.

Other things to note
You can park your car/motorbike in the main Urgam Village. From there you will need to hike up for approx. 1 km to reach the property. If possible do not bring a suitcase but carry a backbag instead.

If you need a porter to carry your luggage then it will cost 200 rupees per item.

We provide a heater at an additional cost of 500 rupees per night.

We cook daily meals for our guests in the house. The cost of the meal is as follows,

Veg Breakfast: 300 Rupees
Veg Pahadi Lunch: 250 Rupees
Veg Dinner: 350 Rupees

If you want to do any short treks in the valley then we have a complete list of treks from which you can opt the treks according to the availability of the guide and weather conditions.
