We are located in a village called Kol. It’s a wooded valley, in the foothills of Himalayas, 16 km west of Rishikesh. The village has a rich flora and fauna and is ideal for nature lovers (including families) looking for a peaceful break from the daily grind of life. All meals and dairy products are organic local produce. We provide 7 bedrooms in two buildings which have been built with wood and stone by the local craftsmen using the centuries old passed down skills of making village homes.​ We are part of a village called Kol which was a primitive coal producing base for the British Army during the Raj days and hence the name Kol.​ The rich flora includes broad leaved deciduous forests, riverine vegetation, grasslands and pine forests in the upper reaches. The fauna of the place is blessed with spotted deer, nilgais, wild boars, leopards, langoors and macaques. The woods are a haven for a rich birdlife that includes peafowl, woodpeckers, pheasants, peacocks, cuckoos, hornbills, to name a few.​ The pitched roofs have been built using the same skills and design that has been used in the villages all over the Himalayas for centuries. The tiles (called Pathaals) are sourced from the old village houses in Himalayas which have fallen into disrepair and have been either abandoned or replaced by new bricks and cement houses. ​ All rooms are en-suite and come with a blend of old and new look and amenities.​
