Homfortable Loshgyani

Homfortable Loshgyani, an experiential, offbeat stay and the best homestay in Mukteshwar, is a beautiful creation. Rooted in nature and speaking to nature is how the retreat is built. It integrates rustic mountain charm and a modern and luxurious vibe with much subtlety. The living spaces have been restored to their present charm with much thoughtfulness.

​

The estate is surrounded by a gorgeous 360-degree view of dense Oak and Deodar Forest, sparsely situated fields, fruit orchards, and a 180-degree snow-capped Himalayan view on clear sky days. This 2-acre estate is majestically positioned on a tabletop around 10 kms away from Mukteshwar.  It is a perfect destination for slow and leisure travel.

 

This boutique and intimate six-room offbeat stay in Mukteshwar has a magical and mystical vibe due to its location and view. The location makes the stay ideal not only for an offbeat getaway but also for meditation, yoga and wellness retreats.

 

The living spaces are a beautiful integration of modern and traditional, providing sustainable living. The cottages have been thoughtfully built, using locally sourced materials, like stones, wood and mud, by local artisans primarily using the traditional art form of mitti-chinai (mud joints).

 

The main rooms at the property give phenomenal views right from the comfort of your room. Step out onto its patio to get a broader look at peaks like Kedarnath, Trishul, Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, Panchachuli, Chaukhamba, and Hathi Parvath to name a few. The Himalayan range visible from the property starts at Garhwal Himalayas to Nepal Himalayas - a beautiful 180-degree surreal view. 

 

The four rustic rooms - Aine, Asteria, Cyfrin and Bari face the northern view and are beautifully designed inside out. Complete with an elegantly designed veranda and patio to give you beautiful views of dense forest, valley and 180-degree snow-capped Himalayan range, the rooms will take your breath away with their understated yet elegant design.

 

The best seller of our offbeat stay in Mukteshwar is a one-room independent heritage stone and wood cottage that has been painstakingly restored to its current charm and glory by Kumaoni masons and artisans. Walk into Althea, as it is called, and feel the authentic Kumaoni vibe at its best, complete with a rustic veranda that evokes old-world charm like none else.

 

Albrun is an independent large family mud and wood cottage. Standing majestically in a quiet corner of the estate, this cottage is made in true Kumaoni style with architecture focused on being one with nature.
