Himalayan hillside villa · Uttarakhand
Where the snow falls on your own garden
Uttarakhand, Himalayas · 1.5 hrs from Nainital
The story
Most people chase snowfall. At Villa Kailasa, it arrives uninvited and covers your garden while you watch from behind a warm window. Perched on a Himalayan hillside with an unbroken view of the snow-capped Nanda Devi range, this bright yellow cottage is one of those rare places where the outside world feels genuinely far away. A brick fireplace with a Buddha, a sitting room that opens onto the valley, a bedroom window that frames the mountains like a painting. The Himalayas don't get closer than this without a tent.
Why Aranya chose this
The Nanda Devi range panorama from the garden is one of the finest Himalayan views available from a private homestay in India.
It snows here. Actual snowfall in the garden — something most Himalayan stays promise and few deliver.
The brick fireplace with the Buddha statue is the exact kind of detail that makes a stay feel like someone's home, not a property.
