“Peace, Serenity, and Authentic Garhwali Living in Uttarakhand”
I absolutely loved my stay at Chaukhamba Cradle Homestay, tucked in the Garhwal Himalayan hills with stunning views of Kedarnath and Chaukhamba mountains. It was a truly peaceful retreat for anyone wanting to escape the city and the more commercialized towns and villages of Uttarakhand. At night, the silence was absolute—you only hear birds, insects, and nature. The homestay is cozy, well maintained, and gives an authentic feel of a traditional Garhwali village cottage. The bathrooms are modern and very well kept, adding to the comfort. You can also walk through the raw forest behind the homestay and trek uphill to Deoria Tal Lake, best done with a guide. The owner, Shantanu, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable about the region, and warm. I also enjoyed delicious home‑cooked meals prepared by their resident chef, Mahesh. A special mention to our trek guide, Nanda Devi, from the nearby village—she was kind, vivacious, and led us beautifully to Deoria Tal, teaching us a lot about hill life. Overall, it was a very pleasant and memorable experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking peace, tranquility, serenity, mountain views, and a chance to live a slower, more mindful lifestyle. I truly connected with my inner thoughts while I was there. Note: Basic fitness levels are required to reach the homestay, as one needs to walk approximately 500 meters uphill on an unpaved trail through hilly farms.
