KYARI
If you are Traveler and not a tourist, if you are looking to experience India beyond the guidebooks and the backpacking stories, if you want amazing stories of India about when you met the most hospitable people….then you need to head to Kyari – an Indian village homestaystay where you will experience the true Kumaoni way of life immersed in nature.
Travel with a cause: Homestays at Kyari are part of Jugaad Hostels Responsible tourism project to help the locals and promote sustainable tourism. Money spent here goes directly to the local families, which goes a long way to improve their way of life.
You can also consider your time at Kyari as your good Karma.
Hundreds of birds make a beautiful symphony in the daytime, and at night, the silence is broken by the call of a deer or the low grunt of a wild boar. Kyari is not on the regular tourist circuit, so what you will find here is an experience not many can boast of – far away from the crowds of tourists and very close to the authentic way of village life in India.
Only the freshest organic food from the farm will be served to you at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything will be prepared to your taste, the Indian way. Local knowledge is very important on a trip, and your hosts will guide you to the best spots for birdwatching, swimming and even to the best mud tracks for cycling.
You can go bodysurfing in canals from the colonial era, through the forest known for its leopards, wild boars and tigers. The forests here are deep and dark, and at every turn, adventure awaits you when you go on a hike there. You will see deer and other small animals like, civets, monkeys, langurs, squirrels etc.
Come back before the evening settles with its nippy air to some hot chai and local snacks with your hosts and their livestock. Watch the sun set over the Himalayas in the distance, and see the sky go from red to orange to pink and pitch black – it’ll be a different colour every minute. At night you will see a sky full of stars….like you have never seen before.
Everything in Kyari is off-beat. It is a part of India that doesn’t exist in brochures and guidebooks, and we will make sure that you love every moment of your stay in this little Kumaoni village of India. If you want to be a traveller more than a tourist, Kyari is the place.
