I had the pleasure of spending two peaceful and soul-refreshing days at Aanandam Wood Homestay in Devalsari, Tehri Garhwal, and I must say—it was an experience that touched my heart deeply.
Nestled in the quiet, untouched lap of the Garhwal Himalayas, this charming wooden homestay is surrounded by lush green valleys, dense oak and rhododendron forests, and a breathtaking view of the rolling hills. The morning mist, birdsong, and the gentle breeze through the deodar trees created a natural melody that brought me immense peace and happiness.
What truly made my stay exceptional were the warm and welcoming hosts, Ashish and Ajeet. Their hospitality was heartfelt and genuine. They went out of their way to ensure every comfort—from helping with short hikes around the village to sharing stories of the land and culture.
The food deserves a special mention. Every meal was cooked with love, using organic and locally sourced ingredients. From traditional Garhwali dishes to simple home-cooked meals, everything was wholesome, delicious, and deeply satisfying. It felt like eating food that nourishes both body and soul.
Aanandam Wood Homestay is more than just a place to stay—it's a space to unplug, reconnect with nature, and experience the slow, grounding rhythm of mountain life. Whether you're sitting on the porch sipping tea or walking the nearby forest trails, every moment here feels healing.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape the chaos of the city and experience true Himalayan hospitality.
