Whenever you come across the word Himalayas, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,isn’t it? Well, you can experience the same in a stone house now. In a lovely little village named Basgaon in Nainital, an Uttarakhand native, Kriti Bisht and Ashish Godara have been building a stone house for three years. This year they with open hearts decided to open this house for guests and named it Slowness Himalayas.
Slowness Himalayas : A Homestay in Nainital
Slowness Himalayas Homestay is that one place where you can experience tranquillity in the embrace of nature. The house is built with inspiration from Kumaoni architecture with cement and brick used the least. Yes the house is built using stone masonry using sustainable materials like dry stacked stone, mud and lime. There is a small cavity on the roof made specially for birds to build their nest in. The curtains that the rooms feature are dyed with pomegranate peel and dyed with kala cotton. The house features 4 cosy rooms with minimal furniture. The windows allow you a mesmerising view of the Mount Trishul and Panchachuli peaks.
