The Silent Valley is truly a place that is embodied by serenity and 100 years of age legacy bungalow. The home cottage is constructed on a hillock in the lap of Himalayas. With Kalsa waterway streaming down alongside the bequest, makes it the ideal place to appreciate both the mountains and the valley. The substance of the house is totally clad with stone similar to all the outside walls, which make a heavenly combination when combined with the nature around. It offers exceptional encompassing view of mountains and stream Kalsa Valley. It is rather a fine getaway from home that offers joy and peace to others.
If you have dreamt of staying few days in the lap of mother nature, perfect mountainous solitude, miles away from the maddening crowd, the noise, the glamour and its hectic pace…. then this place is just for you.
The story of “The Silent Valley” roots dates back to 400 years ago when our ancestors migrated from their village in search of water and livelihood.
This journey begins when our ancestors escaped from Kheti Village (Almora) to village Alchauna (Bhimtal, Nainital) as a result of the invasion by the Nepal Kingdom and in search of livelihood. Earlier, Alchauna belonged to the Alchaunis (Rajputs), and family settled in the village as priests to Alchaunis to carry out the holy rituals. In between,the first house was built by our ancestors at main village and gradually family developed 100 acres estate and farms near river “Kalsa” due to lack of water resources for agriculture and livestock at hill top.
The property is surrounded by pine, oak trees with River Kalsa flowing down along with estate makes it a perfect place to enjoy both the mountains tops and the valley. It’s one of those perfect places to unwind yourself where you can rejuvenate yourself near natural clear water pools, gaze at majestic mountains, visit our organic farm, or play with village kids, while getting a taste of timeless village life in Kumaon hills.
Walking, trekking, bird watching, bathing in pristine rivers and waterfalls, star gazing, horse riding, visiting tiny hamlets, enjoying local cuisine made from organic vegetable grown in our own farm, bee keeping and staying in traditional Kumaoni culture can be enjoyed here. It offers homely accommodations for a nice stay and enjoys the nature.
