The Eco Homestay in Urgam Valley is a 50-year-old Himalayan Mudhouse, which was built traditionally using stones & woods with mud coating inside. In 2022 the abandoned house was carefully restored and renovated by the YogMatra-Team, now welcome guests from all around the world. Located at an altitude of 2,200 meters in Danikhet village of Urgam Valley, the Homestay provides a 360-degree panoramic view over the mighty Himalayas.

A kitchen room has been attached to the old mudhouse, where the team prepares fresh and local foods on a daily basis.

Sunset in a scene of exquisite beauty. Place is run by sweet people having beautiful and familiar nature. We stayed for 3 days and night and overall experience was remarkable. Someone who loves nature and want to take the experience to next level should definitely go here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stayed at this beautiful homestay for 4 nights and I wish I could have stayed longer if I had time. A perfect raw himalayan stay with view of the Himalayan peaks from the room. Chandan and Mohit will make sure that you have a great time at the homestay. The trek to Banga Pani and Urva Rishi Ashram is a must visit to do. Come here to get the raw Himalayan experience.
