THE EXPERIENCE
"Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage."
Located in a small village called Jalna (Almora) away from the hustle-bustle of the city, Hushstay x Sukoon, a One bedroom Kumaoni cottage is all that you need to let yourself go.
At Hushstay x Sukoon Homestay, your day starts with the melodious chirping of birds while the first rays of the sun fall onto the stone walls and slate roofs of your private cottage. Your breakfast consists of local Kumaoni Cuisine.
​
The rest of the day is filled with soulful experiences. Take a walk through one of the near by villages, explore the local kumaoni culture. At the end of the day you are served locally home-cooked food and snacks alongside a bonfire and some light music while you dazzle yourself under a starlit sky! A trained staff consisting of a caretaker and a cook caters to all your needs with utmost attention.
A little extra for Hushstays Guests
Sunset Village Hike
Let our caretaker guide you through the nooks and corners of the surrounding villages. Watch the sunset from a hill top, explore the local culture and sip on a hot cup of tea at a locals place.
THE SPACE
Homestays in Almora are known for their beautiful architecture and fully indulgent cuisine and manners that reflect all colors of Kumaon culture and traditions and Sukoon does complete justice to this.
​
Spread out in 3 acres of land in the Himalayas and surrounded by virgin pine, oak and rhododendron trees with seasonal fruits and vegetables, Hushstay x Sukoon celebrates Kumaon in its truest sense – the spirit, the architecture and the revelry.
The inn breathes tranquillity and offers you the essence of authentic India: her friendliness, hospitality & serenely balanced lifestyle.
THE ROOMS
At Hushstay x Sukoon, we have refurbished the interiors of an authentic Kumaoni house to match the existing surroundings. The slate roofs are made of locally found stone called "Pataal" and big chunks of stone make up the thick walls of the house thus keeping the home warm in winters and cool during summers. The old-style stone and wooden architecture adds more ground to earth ingredients to the beauty of this place. The serene, simple and comforting interiors soak your soul deeper into the silence and solace giving you reasons to forget the stressful life and embrace a new and rejuvenated self.
​
The bigger suite room is located on the first level of the house and has an ensuite bath and toilet. There is an additional smaller room on the ground floor that is a converted goat room, with a low ceiling height only meant for extra guests in case the number of guests exceeds 02 guests. The ground floor room while being smaller in size is much cosier and has a private bath/toilet outside of the room. Each room has its own private entrance and both rooms overlook the majestic himalayan peaks such as Nanda Devi and Trishul in the distance.
When you book with us, you will have the entire place to yourself. Our cook / caretaker will leave no stone unturned to make sure you have a great time.
