THE EXPERIENCE

"And don't spend your time looking around for something that can't be found" - Baloo, The Jungle Book

Nature has a unique ability to quiet the mind and soothe the soul. In the wilderness, standing beneath towering trees, gazing at a waterfall, or marvelling at the night sky, we are reminded of life's essential simplicity and a connection with something greater than ourselves: a connection that fosters humility, gratitude, and a deeper understanding of our place in the vast tapestry of existence.

An ancient walking trail connecting Dehradun and Mussoorie, believed to be the beaten track of novelist Rudyard Kipling, passes through Talyanigaad, a hidden paradise that inspires a deep connection with nature. As the hour-long hike (or gypsy ride) leads through verdant woodlands and echoing waterways, it sets the stage for a magical revelation — a hideout that seamlessly blends simplicity with modern comforts.

Perched in a tropical corner of Talyanigaad, surrounded by a jungle of oak trees and facing a stunning waterfall, Hushstay x Kipling Trail Cottage is a 03 Bedroom wilderness retreat to help rediscover the joy in the uncomplicated moments of existence.

This place is not just a retreat, it is a dreamy melting pot of nature's wisdom and simplicity and offers something profound that often eludes us in the hustle and bustle of urban living: Inner Peace.

NOTE: There is no network connectivity here and we don't have Wifi but we hope you will find deeper a connection with nature and with each other. This is the Digital Detox that you need.

THE SPACE

This idyllic setting, dotted with vibrant flora, provides a transformative experience where the symphony of the woods is complemented by the sonorous embrace of the cascading water, ensuring tranquility and a visceral connection with nature.

Hushstay x Kipling Trail Cottage presents an idyllic haven that harmonizes seamlessly with the mystical beauty of the landscape.

The property offers two distinct cottages - a spacious two-bedroom haven complemented by an inviting dining area, and the other a serene one-bedroom suite. The architecture and design of this retreat exude an authentic blend of rustic elegance and contemporary finesse.

Each cottage becomes a gateway to unparalleled natural beauty. The lush gardens and the proximity to a waterfall invite an immersive experience in the breathtaking surroundings. The interior spaces offer a perfect amalgamation of modern comforts and the tranquility of the rustic outdoors. Aesthetically, the cottages reflect an unspoken promise of solitude and comfort within the serene embrace of the forested landscape.

While the rooms are tastefully done and designed to keep you comfortable indoors, oversized windows in the bedrooms and in common areas showcase the space’s best asset, which is undoubtedly what lies in its outdoors.

THE ROOMS

Each room at Hushstay x Kipling Trail Cottage offers a portal to the tranquillity of the hills and a haven for discerning travellers seeking an intimate connection with nature. The design and architecture of the rooms reflect a deep reverence for the surrounding landscape.

These two units can be booked individually or together depending on the group size. For couples and small families we recommend the one-bedroom suite while the 02 bedroom unit is apt for a group of friends. Bigger groups can book both units together to have the entire space to themselves.

Kipling Trail Cottage is the perfect weekend escape if you want to be away from all the city noise and hustle for a while. There is no network at all here which I felt was the best…
