True to the spirit of Kumaon, the Earth Home blends comfort with sustainability. Constructed with natural materials, the cottages are insulated with mud. It ensures that the interiors stay cool in the summer and warm during the chilly winter evenings. The lime-washed walls of the bathrooms are not only aesthetically pleasing but also offer antibacterial properties.
With two single beds that can be converted into a double, along with a sofa-cum-bed in the living area, the cottage can comfortably accommodate families or small groups. The thoughtfully designed bathroom also comes equipped with high-quality soaps, shampoo, body lotion, and bathrobes to make your stay as luxurious as it is sustainable.
