The homestay has three cottages–Poppy, Iris, and Rose–named after Dimple’s favourite flowers. Each is crafted from stone and recycled wood and includes a living room, fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, and a deck with uninterrupted mountain views. Poppy is a two-bedroom cottage with Gond art, antique finds, and a book-filled landing. Iris, also a two-bedroom cottage, carries a different kind of charm, more earthy and rustic. The bukhari keeps the space snug in winter, while hand-painted plates and dragonfly motifs, small artworks collected by the hosts over the years, add a homely feel. Rose, the largest of the three, is a three-bedroom cottage where each room has its own personality and colour palette. Wide open spaces connect the cottages. At the heart of this little world sits the café, a central and much-loved corner where time slows down over shared meals and long conversations.
A garden alive with birdsong, bursts of colour with seasonal flowers like hydrangea, tulips, daffodils, poppy, allowed to grow wild, and grassy patches where dogs laze while guests read. With an abundance of trout, the valley is a virtual paradise for anglers. (The fishing season starts on 01 March and ends on 31st October). Moreover, the valley abounds with exquisite and rare birds and waking up to loud bird song is a heavenly way to begin your morning. The common living room is lined with shelves groaning under the weight of books, and antique couches that may be a little worn but remain wonderfully welcoming. Lunch is typically simple and homely, especially on days when guests head out for long riverside walks or picnics. But its dinner that truly brings the homestay experience to life, featuring a mix of Indian fare, Chinese dishes, and a handful of specials. The beautiful daisies and flowers all across the property attract so many birds, which makes the whole place feel even more peaceful and alive.
