Where you’ll stay
Earth Homes have been designed using inspiration from old Kumaoni homes. Each Home is clad with mud and boasts of insulated mud flooring and a suite with a limewashed bathroom.
The original, Nayalap’s luxury tents are large and spacious with ensuite bathrooms, a bedroom and a living cum dining area. The tents are set in an oak forest near a village. The forest attracts a host of finches and the flying squirrel.
What we love about this hike
1. The adventure and the luxury
This 4-night hike combines the thrill of a trek with the creature comforts of 2 great properties.
2. Multiple experiences
A multi-day trek is generally a hike from one place to another. This experience of luxury hiking goes slower and deeper. Have you wanted to stay at one place on the hike for a bit longer to explore the place? This trek gives you an opportunity for that. This means picnic lunches and village visits, along with the forest hike.
3. A beautiful mixed forest
This is one of those Lara Croft adventures. There’s a dense forest that you walk through. There are small springs. There’s a large meadow. There’s a hidden temple amongst the rocks. This trek is unlike any other.
Why choose Nayalap

It is an education into the nature and culture of the place. | The Comfort With local cuisines and plush beds, the comfort at Nayalap is top notch at a great price. Stay in the large tents and Earth Homes and have the best sleep you’ve had. | The Responsibility Being in a village, we minimise the amount of waste generated. We are aware of the need for water, and the need to generate local employment to prevent Palayan. | The Experience Rated more than 4.5/5 across multiple platforms, the experience of the staff and team working at Nayalap is varied and unmatched, to your surprise. | The Place The region near Shitlakhet is one of those places out of a fairytale. The forests, the streams, the bushes and the birds, all make for a magical experience. |
