Camp Summary
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”― Anita Desai
We have named our Home – Maulsari, named after a medicinal plant indigenous to Uttarakhand. Maulsari is nestled in the lap of nature, at a Hamlet in the Shivaliks. With unobstructed valley views one can cherish the pine forests, paragliders landing,etc and when the sun goes down – the starry skies come out to keep you company. Our homestay is suitable for accommodating small families, a group of friends, etc. 6 people can be easily accommodated in 2 rooms.Location
Our homestay is located in the village of Kyar Kuli on the Dehradun – Mussoorie road. The diversion road comes just after crossing Mussoorie lake. After taking a left turn from Dehradun – Mussoorie road, you have to drive a km to reach the parking. From the parking, you have to walk down 100 meters to reach our homestay. The rooms and drawing room faces the pine forests and village farms on one side. The evenings and mornings are quite picturesque.
The close proximity to Mussoorie ensures our guests a lot of peace time.
