Located in a remote yet reachable village and spread over 4 acres, Aarish is an opulence of the absolute: the silence of nature, a soul-stirring ambience, fresh mountain breeze, unhindered views of the world beyond and a mellow retreat built in wood and stone that blends in seamlessly.

​

The singular structure of the house derives its inspiration from the traditional rural dwellings, found in the Kumaon region, called "Baakhli". A baakhli usually comprises of several dwelling units which are constructed adjoining each other allowing the entire community to live together and help one another. 

​

An inviting front porch with stone columns connects the 04 bedrooms and the living / dining space that overlooks a wondrous scenery across an open sit-out area which acts as a great vantage point to be mesmerised by the rugged beauty of Himalayan peaks like the Trishul and Nanda Devi.

While the exterior facade reflects an old-world charm, its pine-clad interiors combine sophisticated modernism with a minimalist design aesthetic. In the common living area, the centrepiece above the fireplace is a large hat known as "Jhapi", worn by tea pickers to save themselves from the scorching afternoon sun. Thoughtful personal touches from the hosts' childhood environs and uniquely curated artefacts give this place a distinct imprint. 

From local Kumaoni delicacies to Thukpa, Momos, Pizza, Idlis and Dosas, homemade Samosas and a wide range of Desserts the team always has something up their sleeves to make their guests feel special.
