    Have you wondered what is life like at the foothills of the Himalayas? Small villages around, deep forests, hills, fresh mountain water, rivers, fresh air and blue sky. Our place is located at the foothills of the Kumaon region in State Uttarakhand - India and the nearest railway station is just 4 km away. This is one of the liveliest districts in the city also called The Lake District - Nainital.

    My name is Rajan and we are setting up a project at the foothills of the Kumaon region in Uttarakhand. Our location is approximately 245 KM. from Rishikesh and Haridwar. We have a Café and rooftop restaurant . Our goal is to provide a friendly and open-minded environment where local students, travelers and residents can practice conversation and cultural exchange in languages like English, French, Italian, German, Russian, Ukrainian, German, etc. and make new friends.

    Our team will mainly interact with you in English for better communication and the locals mostly communicate in Hindi, so you can learn basic Hindi as well.

    We are travelers just like you, so we appreciate to learn about new cultures and traditions.

If you have culinary curiosity, we can arrange a day visit to a sweets shop on request. You have to inform us in advance for any specific requirements before your arrival. Last minute requests can not be honored from many reasons.

    The main language is this region is Hindi. So, if you would like to learn few basic words that could help you while you travel, we can arrange basic Hindi lessons for you on request.

    This is a wonderful opportunity to not only exchange knowledge and experiences but also to deepen your understanding of India’s diverse cultural landscape. We look forward to learning from you as you learn from us!
