H2O House

PROPERTY OVERVIEW

‘Ages ago this place used to be the prime hub for villagers, who used to come here to get their ‘wheat’. We call them ‘Gharat’ (grinding mill). They used the stream water to turn the mill that made wheat flour. This makes H2O house a place that holds special significance to the entire surrounding community.

The place is a bit secluded and is located in a very quiet and extremely scenic location away from the noise of any crowded town nearby. The setting is natural, pristine, absolutely beautiful, and tranquil. H20 House is a perfect mixture of homestay & rural stay in India. Maintained neat and clean with a view of the alpine jungle. You can sit and listen to the sounds of nature; gurgling water and chirping birds 24x7. Live the LIFE of a local village. It is an ideal place to write a book or transform your imagination into paintings.

STAY

As the name suggests, the rooms are built over water and throughout the day you will be soothed with the pleasant sound of rushing water. The sound of water cleanses your soul and calms your mind in a way that will make you cherish your stay at ‘H20 House’ forever. We have 5 rustic huts at H20 house, each designed beautifully for both comfort and luxury. H20 house is one of the finest homestays in India. We haven't used any direct light that strains the eyes, instead, all light is indirect. We have various sitting areas amidst the woods; from working with your laptop or just reading that long-awaited book, our open spaces are perfect for you. We have 2 nice sitting rooms where you can practice meditation, yoga, eat meals, or simply sit with a book or a kindle and just laze around.

FOOD

Our food is ‘satvik’, which means we use the least possible amount of onion & garlic. The vegetables and dals served are locally sourced, while the wheat and corn flour come from the mills at the homestay!
For breakfast, we serve various types of traditional food like ‘Channa puri’, ‘Babru’ (Bread with yeast), ‘Khada Prantha’ (Stuffed bread). We serve pure buffalo milk as a complement to your morning breakfast. For dinner, we serve all types of Himachali veg/non-veg cuisines. In vegetarian, we serve ‘pure black dal’, ‘madra Kidney beans’ (the best), ‘mountain herbal curry’, probiotic curd, and various types of mixed vegetables with natural wood-fired ‘roti’.
If you wish we can serve you a live dinner near the river where we set up a barbecue and a bonfire with a candlelit romantic setting.

To understand the culture of this quiet little village you should try their local food.
