A Rustic Retreat in the Heart of Kumaon
Tucked away in the tranquil hills of Someshwar, our homestay offers a peaceful escape into the soul of the Himalayas — just a short, scenic drive from Kausani. Built in the traditional Kumaoni style, with hand-cut stone walls and wooden beams, it reflects the simplicity and strength of mountain life.
Every corner carries the warmth of a farmhouse and the quiet dignity of old Kumaon. The textures of stone and wood blend effortlessly with the landscape, creating a space that feels both grounded and alive.
Hisalu Home isspread over a green expanse incorporating a small water body and a traditional Kumaoni naula. At this secluded retreat,comfort meets authenticity — offering travellers a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the timeless grace of rural Uttarakhand.
