Earth house vacation rentals in Central Asia

Peaceful place Away from fast life

It was an amazing experience. The view the place everything is just perfect. The staffs were so humble and helpful with everything . Must recommend

I really liked the location of this place. It's 20 kms before main Manali market etc so if you're goal is to see Manali then this might be a bit far unless you have your own car. We weren't really interested in Mall road and our main goal was to drive to Atal tunnel and Keylong the next morning. So for a night's stay it was perfect. Surrounded by lots of green I liked the quiet ambience here. I am not sure how the other rooms were but we booked a villa that had a hall and 1 bedroom downstairs and 1 on the first floor. Both rooms had attached bathrooms. The campus also had some random swings that gave us 5 mins of adventure lol. Food taste was decent (some may not like it but if you're not a food drama queen you'll survive) P.S. For those worried by the word "Satvika" in the name - they do have non veg food :)

The place was as described. Interiors had interesting nooks and was quite comfortable. Approach to the place has a slight complication with the big car to small car switch, but enough advice and support was provided to overcome it. Neighbourhood’s alright, just make sure you are good to walk up inclines and flights of stairs if you are exploring it on foot (we had elderly folks with us, they struggled a fair bit). Of course, what made the place stand out was Kaushal and his Team of Kapil and Raju. Very accommodating and friendly, and quick to help resolve a query or requirement. Even the people they recommend to you (cab drivers and such) were extremely kind and helpful, which just goes to show that they do care about your experience beyond their villa. Overall a very satisfying stay, and would be happy to recommend Forktail to others.

The place is exactly what it looks like, calm serene and home It’s a space for friends and family to talk and spend time together The boys will take care of every need effortlessly and with care

This place super awesome. We were 3 people and we stayed here for 2 days. If I talk about location, it is very peaceful. I would suggest you enjoy sunset and sunrise at the place, take a morning walk and enjoy fresh air and beautiful scenery. The rooms were super clean. All blankets and bed sheets were also very very clean. I am really impressed by the way they maintain cleanliness. Food at the place is also verg good. It is very much homely like food. Caretaker at the place is also very good, patient and soft spoken. He caters to all your needs. Also, this place has super cool things like a tree house where u can enjoy sunset or have morning tea. All in all, you can book this place anytime and rest assured that things will be way better than your expectations. Just one thing, you might not get very good cellular coverage here. We had airtel and jio sims. Though it is good enough for making calls, but you might have issues with internet. But they have wifi on-campus.

It was just what I was looking for a quiet and serene time for my kids in the nature…..have always wanted to visit the place since I met at the Rajpur Nature Festival. Lived up to every bit of my expectation and even more…interacting with the locals with Manju ji and Mansi was memorable…will visit again…

We booked the entire place for a corporate retreat and couldn't have been happier with our stay. Suman and the other didi are great hosts, cook great food and extremely polite. They definitely play the part of being professional hosts but still bring warmth. Location couldn't have been better - we spent the entire night star gazing watching shooting stars and satellites. The only thing worth mentioning is that not all rooms have a door for the bathroom - some just have a curtain. It didn't matter to us but please ase check and book accordingly.

Harul is an untouched place offering its serenity and calmness to its guests. This place is 40 kms away from Chakrata but man o man what amazing drive and view you get on the way to this homestay. The place is very peaceful and is right fit for you if you are looking for something earthy and soothing. The hosts Neelam, Rahul and their two pawsome pups Moscow and Mia are everything you want in such experiences i.e., friendly and interactive. They made us feel right at home. Neelam makes sure all the guests are very comfortable right from the time they set foot in the property and makes sure everyone eats on time and personally accompanies them on evening treks. Speaking of food, since the place is secluded with not much of food placed around, the food offered at the property is super tasty and feels like you are eating ghar ka khana and at a very nominal price. All in all this place is full of warmth because of the hosts and I can visit them again because it felt like home.

What a lovely place and such lovely people - hosts, manager and staff...and dogs. Nothing was too much trouble, super helpful with suggested local walks, local services and where to go next. Very nice food and good variety - perfect for the cold winter conditions. Great coffee. Very relaxed and welcoming of our dog too.

Great hospitality. Location was quite convenient with Kasauli Mall Road just 10 minutes away and a bustling street around. Views and food was excellent too!

Was a wonderful experience staying here a second time ! The view, the location and the authentic feel of staying in a mud house keeps bringing me back. The stay has all amenities one could possibly need including an excellent wifi. The food was great too. Pancham is an awesome host. He guided me on the tourist spots around and was responsive and helpful whenever I needed anything during the stay. Would recommend this place to everyone for a calm place to stay in manali.

We loved our stay at Kaaya! the staff were amazing and very helpful. The food was delicious. the vision for cultivating a place of sustainable rural-urban connection is inspiring! It is a peaceful place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy some time in nature. We hope to visit again!

Staying here was an absolute dream! The house was not only beautiful and peaceful but also the perfect place to slow down and acclimatize to the high altitude. Angtak and Catherine are the most loving and welcoming hosts, making me feel right at home. Their passion for sustainable textiles and the workshops they offer provided a deeper understanding of the rich Ladakhi culture, which was truly inspiring. The surrounding beauty and the warmth of this place made my stay unforgettable. I feel so lucky to have found this gem and can’t wait to return!

Dieser Ort ist einfach so besonders und für uns einmalig in dieser Lage. Die Ruhe, der Blick auf die Berge, die gesamte Atmosphäre, das Haus aus Lehm, Holz und Stroh: einfach wunderschön. Wir wurden jeden Abend wundervoll bekocht, das Frühstück am Morgen war super lecker. Auch für Vegetarier gab es immer genügend Varianten. Es gab immer Wasser, Tee und Kaffee. Die Zimmer waren super sauber und die Betten mit sehr guten Matratzen. Es gibt einen Aufenthaltsraum, wo man lesen oder spielen konnte. Uzakbek war immer gut erreichbar und ausgesprochen freundlich. Aber nicht nur er, sondern auch seine ganze Familie und Helfer. Ich werde immer gerne an diese Tage zurückdenken und kann diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank an alle, die uns in dieser Zeit so gut versorgt haben! Wir werden diese Tage immer in besonderer Erinnerung behalten.

Quite spacious; good feel factor; good aesthetics. Had a good family time !!

I had a wonderful stay at this small paradise! Its ultimate peace! you only hear birds singing, there are wild parrots flying around in that beautiful nature. The hospitality was super nice I was totally feeling at home. The building itself is a very cozy space with nice furnitures. The host is super friendly and helpful. It’s 100 % recommended and I already look forward to go back there again soon in the future✨ Thank you very much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I had a great time at Mitti Ghar. The place is beautiful, well maintained, full of surprises and is situated at a nice and cosy spot. Taha, the host was cooperative and made sure that I had a comfortable stay. Would recommend it to anyone who’s seeking a place to stay in Bir!

Our stay at this beautiful Airbnb was beyond words. Every detail of the space has been designed with immense thought and care. Each corner reflects the love and intention behind this place, making it feel truly special. The food and service here were nothing short of five-star; the staff was attentive, making us feel welcomed and at home. The property is also maintained in the most sustainable way possible, which is truly admirable. One of the highlights was the village walks we went on with Tanuja, our wonderful host. Tanuja's knowledge and passion for the area made these walks not just informative but deeply inspiring, giving us a real glimpse into Kumaoni culture and traditions. This Airbnb is an absolute must-stay for anyone looking to slow down and fully embrace mountain living. A huge thank you to Tanuja and the entire team for creating such an experience.
