Inspired by the best that Kumaoni architecture has to offer, Earth Homes comprises a boutique homestay nestled in the heart of the mountains\. The houses are still made of stone\. You still know where your milk comes from\. The crops grown are grains that are still local to the land\. And anyone you meet will invite you home for tea\. This is a true Himalayan village \- one that gives you all the space in the world and can still make you feel that you're in a world of your own\.
