A tour of the camps

The Stay

Beyond the tents, Simra Izar opens onto two base camps — the gentle one in the pines at Kunja and the wilder ridge at Jhandi Top — with bonfires, a camp mess, washroom blocks and trailheads, every part of an outdoor life looked after and shared with you exactly as we know it.

The spaces

Every corner of the camp

Rooms

Five private rooms, each named for a local bird.

Explore

Rooftop Dining

Local Kumaoni meals served under the open sky.

Explore

The Courtyard

The open stone aangan at the very heart of the home — where the morning sun lands first, chai is shared, and most of the day's comings and goings seem to pass through.

Explore

The Open Terrace

An open rooftop of sun, chai and uninterrupted valley views — the spot to slow right down, watch the light move across the ridges, and let an afternoon quietly disappear.

Explore

The Kitchens

Two kitchens side by side — a smoky wood-fire chulha where the old recipes are cooked, and a modern self-cook kitchenette. The warm, busy heart from which every pahadi meal arrives.

Explore

Workspace & Library

A quiet desk and a shelf of well-loved books, for slow, connected days — answer a few emails, then look up at the hills. Proof you can work from here without ever losing the calm.

Explore

The Garden

A fruit garden and green corners to wander — apricot and plum, herbs and flowers, tended by the family through the seasons. Step out with a cup of tea and let it pull you outdoors.

Explore

The Farms

Terraced fields of mandua, jhangora, rajma and whatever the season brings — worked by hand the way these hills always have. Much of what reaches your plate has grown right here.

Explore

The Goth (Cattle Shed)

The traditional goth — the old animal house, home to the cows, buffaloes and goats that are part of daily village life. A reminder that a real pahadi home still moves to the rhythm of its animals.

Explore

Open-air Theatre

An open corner under the stars for films, folk music and gatherings — where guests and the village come together of an evening. The kind of unhurried night you never plan, but always remember.

Explore

The Mandir

A small shrine on the grounds for a quiet moment — light a lamp, sit a while, or simply pause. A reminder that in these hills, the sacred is woven gently into everyday life.

Explore

The Washrooms

Two shared bathrooms, set a little apart by choice and kept spotless — the authenticity of an old Kumaoni home, with modern tiling and 24×7 hot water. Heritage, without ever giving up on cleanliness.
