Day-to-day itinerary

You have the freedom of the guesthouse – to sit, watch, read, dream, recover – as well as the freedom of the village, and its surrounding fields, woods, panoramic viewpoints, and footpaths to explore at your own speed. On a clear day, there are magnificent views of the Himalayan peaks, including Nanda Gunti, Trishul, Maktoli, Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot. A highlight is watching the sun rise over Supi village at Darbella Top (a 40 minute walk from the village).

If you decide you want some additional guided activities, then you can prebook or arrange there and then, subject to availability. You might want to add a day hike, through terraced fields, stone pathways, open countryside and mixed forests to the Chiltha Temple, or experience a night in the high altitude tented camp, waking up to the sun rising over the high peaks.  Or how about trying ploughing with oxen, or cooking, Himalayan style?
