After 35 years of teaching children in the hills, I now welcome guests to our family's Himalayan retreat with the same care I gave my students. As a retired schoolteacher, I love sharing stories about our local culture, pointing out medicinal herbs on our walks, and teaching guests how to make traditional Kumaoni snacks. Though my son handles the bookings, you'll often find me in the orchard, picking fresh fruits for your welcome basket or knitting by the fireplace. Every corner of our property reflects my love for this land - from the hand-planted rhododendrons to the curated library of mountain folklore books. "Just as I once nurtured young minds, I now take joy in creating warm mountain memories for our guests."
