Meraki Huts

A perfect place for family getaway with amazing views of layers of mountains and green valleys. Early morning we saw mesmerising view of ice capped mountains for few minutes. In winters, whole range of snow peaks are visible from windows. Mornings are misty with clouds below you in the valleys and fog moving through your surrounding hills. Had a small trek of 3 kms to nearby temple and a charitable school. Night view of lights of villages in the valley and sky full of shining stars was like space travel. Restaurant with variety and quality of veg and nonveg foods is also lovely. Huts are uniquely made with local stones and pinewood and are cosy and comfortable. Staff is courteous and full of pahadi warmth. Overall a heavenly experience to enjoy the untouched beauty of Garhwal Himalayas.

This was an unplanned stop for us. We were planning a trip to Devprayag when we accidentally came across this property online and we booked it. Starting from beginning… Road to Devprayag is a 2-3 car wide extra smooth highway… Right from Delhi to Devprayag. Then we took the Devprayag Pauri road, in which initial 7kms is a little bumpy ride as this segment has lot of dumpers running due to some major project going But it has easy drive. Then comes the smooth and motorable road 2 cars wide road, on which traffic is scarce. (We had a scary moment with a fast speed truck literally head on collision at a steep turn). And then we arrived at this place. As we settled, the place started to sink in. This is the type of relaxation we look for in a trip. The landscape is beautiful, with us on top of a mountain overlooking a beautiful valley, with small small villages in the valley. The beauty is the maintenance. The hygiene standard of the room is unparalleled (5-star level). Hats off to the team who maintains such high standard at such a difficult terrain. The food quality awesome. We were famished when we arrived at 4pm and were served with excellent food. We are very difficult when it comes to hygiene and food, so definitely it has to be good. The second day of our stay has just started (it’s 6am in morning) and I already want to stay long. After all the chaos, rush, stress, lack of sleep, tiredness of daily routine, this is the most serene, calm and joyful time I am having in last 2-3 years. Thanks to all the team, who worked and is working to make this happen. This is going to be one of the hottest property in Uttarakhand in near future..!!! Definitely.. (Next review at end of the stay)

New property and an idyllic place for some quite time for meditation and serenity. Located at about 4 hrs drive from Dehradun and an hour each from Devptayag and Pauri. Every cottage opens out to amazing views with perfect sit out places. The rooms and bathrooms are lavishly done. Food and services are awesome. Recommended strongly for long idyllic stays.
