I run a small eco friendly home stay. There is very little cement used and the wood is also recycled.
Aashraya is located about 45 km from Rishikesh off the Badrinath road. About 3 km from Kodyala there will be a small shack. If you are coming by bus - say - Mahadev Chatti.
Follow the 2.5 km walking path towards the bridge across Ganga. At the end of the bridge take a left turn on the old walking route to Badrinath.
It is in the middle of nowhere and we have just got electricity but no road.
We have an organic farm attached to the house.
I trek and cycle a lot, also write guide books. Trekking in western himalaya - depi chaudhry by Collins.
