Traditional Kumaoni houses with painted doors and parapets, are hardly made these days. Not only are these houses beautiful to look at, they are also earthquake resistant.
Stay in an authentic village house that has been partially renovated and toilets and bathrooms added without spoiling the ambience. After a day's walk, freshen up with a hot bucket bath. Food is cooked hygienically and mineral water is provided.
