A painstakingly built stone cottage with an eye to minute details by the young and adventurous couple. And ah! What a view. The second level rooms open out on a wide terrace with deck chairs and a view to die for. A little attic converted to a bedroom is a gem tucked away. On a misty day, the clouds keep hovering around, occasionally floating inside, and through the forest and the hills playing hide and seek. The deafening silence is full of bird chirps. A little paradise in the otherwise hell-of-a-world.

It took us almost 2 years and a pandemic to come back since our last visit in Oct 2018. A desperately needed break after months of lockdown, unlockdown and being constantly masked! Unanimously, Fagunia Farmstay was voted by all of us as the SAFEST place to holiday despite the Corona Virus.

Coming back, there were muted expectations expecting lockdown and other challenges to have taken their toll! NO SUCH THING. We came back to a vibrant and happening Fagunia with many new upgrades:
Kafal Corner: The best place to spend hours reading, looking out or just doing nothing.
Barbecue Station: It works! Had a fantastic evening with some great flavours
Waterfall: Just sitting or standing in the water….
The highlight: The food. Going back completely satiated with some of the best food we have had in a long long time. Fresh bread, local delicacies and surprise desserts.

As we said earlier…we will be back! And hopefully won’t take another pandemic to bring us back.

Its a quiet place a little off the beaten path. Lovingly made, the house is an aesthetic delight. Nestled amidst farms and forest, its a great place for birdwatching, walking and for soaking in the atmosphere of rural Uttarakhand. The food is fresh and really tasty. The hosts are wonderful people. It’s one of the best holidays I have had. There is a fabulous eye for detail that’s visible in this fantastic place. Its not easy to make a place look so beautiful, charming and make it so comfortable at the same time, and you have managed to achieve that. The food is excellent and the walks around the house are really wonderful. All the best to you for this place.

An old house beautifully renovated. Comfortable stay with children and friends. A great place for a long weekend getaway from Delhi as the driving time is not more than 6.5 hrs. Great trails for hiking and lots of waterfalls around.

Fagunia is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of Delhi. Done up with immense amounts of love, every room in this homestay has its little usp and a striking character. The couple who own the place, Aditi and anil, are gracious hosts and spending time with them, you know that this place is a result of their passion for the mountains, for conservation and for people. What also really stands out is their love for nature, not only in the fact that they are growing their own veggies and the place is done up with recycled material wherever possible but also in their constant endeavor to cut down on waste and also have their own STP and rainwater harvesting unit. The food is local and fresh and again, done with a lot of love and attention to what guests want. A lovely stay all in all. And if youre really lucky like I was, you’ll also get to see a sky full of stars and the milky way!

Beautiful cottage nestled in the hills away from the city madness. This is a perfect getaway for those craving a bit of silence and indulging in some solitude. The cottage is located slightly off-track but the owners of the property are happy to arrange for a taxi for you if you’re arriving from train. The property itself is neat and clean and well maintained. Rooms are fairly large with basic amenities included. Love the personal touch in little things. We received a pre-arrival email with a check-list of things, what to carry, current weather and emergency contact numbers. Network is a bit of an issue but they have a good working Wi-Fi at all times. Be prepared to be fed and by that I mean gain a couple of kilos while you’re there. The food is simple, hearty and local. There are options of hiking trails nearby or if you just want to laze about, you can simply just chill in the property.
