TESTIMONIALS
“Nayalap is a luxurious glamping experience in the midst of nature of Kumaon region. It offers us with mountain life, quite streets, good home cooked food with pahadi delicacies, simple culture, amazing hospitality and a very comfortable stay.”
Saurabh, Dec 2022
“Luxurious tents ,beautiful place Shitlakhet , amazing food , nature at its best and peace of mind. Tanuja is a great host and the boys team is equally good.”
Pratibha, Dec 2021
“After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, love, and so on — have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear — what remains? Nature remains; to bring out from their torpid recesses, the affinities of a man or woman with the open air, the trees, fields, the changes of seasons — the sun by day and the stars of heaven by night.”
Arjun, Dec 2017
WEB STORIES

A crimson sunbird makes its way through the flowers. Summer is just an amazing time for flowers and thus insects and thus birds. Early mornings are perfect for Jays, Finches, Whistling Thrushes, and more.
Birdwatching is a great treasure hunt style game to get children interested in nature.

A rat trap bond.
Ragi planted in the fields beyond.
A pine grove just above that.
A neighbouring village to gaze at.
The forests in the distance.
The Himalayas hidden.
Stay tuned as we build something new and in the process, write more bad poetry 😉

Humans, in general, are an odd group. We hated the summer heat. So we welcomed the rain. Then we hated the continuous rain and started hoping for the sun.
But then the clouds open up, and the Himalayas put on a show. And on those days, you feel that everything is perfect with the world.

Make it a summer to discover. To explore. To run free.
Make it a summer to lie on the grass. To sit under trees. To count the flowers ans chase the butterflies.
Make it a summer of gooseberries. Of Rhododendron squash. Of lemonade and jackfruit.
Make it a summer to remember. For you. For your kids. For when you were a kid.
Make it a summer of Nayalap.

🤗 For new friends (and old), here's a bit about who we are.
⛺ Nayalap is a 4-suite luxury camping site set in the Kumaon Himalayas about 10hrs from Delhi.
🛏️ Each tent is equipped with a bedroom, a living and dining space, an ensuite bathroom with amenities and hot water.
📚 You can choose to do absolutely nothing at Nayalap, finish your book or series, or plan an active holiday with the kids to the creek or to the forests and villages nearby.
🥾 All walks are guided (although you may choose to wander on your own) and complimentary.
😋 This life is complimented by carefully made Northern Indian and Pahadi food using the season's harvest and recipes passed on for generations.
🍃 As summers approach, here's your chance for a Pahadi getaway and a world that you may call your own.
