Staying in
The Pailaag's Stone House
Guests are treated to unobstructed, panoramic views of the majestic Himalayas from the Stone House. Among the highlights is Nanda Devi, the second highest peak in India. From this vantage point, you can enjoy a clear, awe-inspiring view of Nanda Devi East, Nanda Ghungti, Nanda Kot, Mrigthuni, Hardeol ("Temple of God"), Panchachuli, and the surrounding peaks. This spectacular sight is a focal point of your stay, offering a daily reminder of the grandeur of the Himalayas.
Inside, the Stone House features four beautifully designed rooms that balance modern comfort with traditional charm. Each room is thoughtfully furnished to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploration.
The house "aangan" (courtyard) offers a unique eagle-eye view of the Kapkote Valley, where the expansive valley below reveals its natural splendor. The serene setting is further enhanced by the surrounding Oak and Kaaphal trees, adding a lush, green backdrop to your stay.
Dawn hums with copper pots and woodsmoke. Join villagers—milking buffaloes, reaping wheat, chopping wood in hardy rhythm. Shepherds tend grazing herds, temples whisper age, kids laugh. Trek to falls or a mystic's carved retreat, flute notes fading. You become the mountain's heartbeat.
From your private perch, the Himalayas unveil a theater of stillness and splendor. Watch golden eagles carve the sky above Nanda Devi's snow-crowned summit, while the distant chime of village bells drifts on the breeze. Each dawn ignites the peaks—Trishul's trident gleam, Hardeol's sacred shadow—turning your stay into a front-row seat for nature's quiet opera.
