If you desire to find solace and get away from the fast-paced life, the hills have never failed to be an idyllic haven for those looking to escape the tireless demands of modern life. And Sukoon, a homestay in Almora, Uttarakhand, is the ideal spot to spend the weekend picking apples, practising yoga, going on treks, cuddling up with a book on the lawns, or simply learning the art of doing nothing.
Inside Sukoon Homestay
When you drive away through the narrow, winding roads of Almora, Jalna greets you as a small and sleepy village away from the chaotic tourist centres. Spread over three acres of land, Sukoon treats you to the most beautiful of vistas. What more could you want from a holiday than fresh air, a brilliant sun flirting with the pine trees, and a stirring wind ruffling your hair?

The retreat houses two-bedroom stone cottages inspired by local Kumaoni culture. You can retire in a Kumaoni house with slate roofs and thick stone walls that will keep you snug in the cold. These slate roofs and thick walls are made of locally found stone which keeps the bungalow warm in winter and cool during summer. The décor aspects of the residence are rustic and basic, with earthiness as a leitmotif.
This homestay in Almora is home to majestic pine, oak and rhododendron trees. It appears to be the ideal relaxing area for spending time with family and taking in the peace and quiet beneath a starry sky.
