The purpose of this tour is simple yet profound: to immerse you in the untamed beauty of nature's embrace, where ancient forests hold their secrets and the tranquility of the wilderness serves as your muse. Together, we seek to unburden the mind, release the creative spirit, and unearth stories that transcend time.
By sharing moments with gracious residents and embracing conscious living amidst the forest's serenity, we embark on a voyage that not only redefines the art of storytelling but also the very essence of our existence. Join us as we journey toward a deeper understanding of self, community, and the world around us.
Nestled amidst the cradle of nature, we find our haven in Kalika, a quaint village that rests in the gentle embrace of the Himalayan foothills, near the famed hill station of Ranikhet in the heart of Uttarakhand. Kalika beckons those who yearn for the hidden gems, offering a breathtaking vista of the Himalayan peaks, with the majestic Mount Trishul gracing the horizon on a crystal-clear day.
A mere 100 kilometers from Kathgodam, Kalika is a serene escape, where the world-renowned Ranikhet Golf Course stands as a sentinel to timeless beauty. As the sun dips below the horizon, the village gifts its visitors with the tranquil poetry of sunset over the emerald greens. Here, within earshot of a lush Deodar forest, melodies of cricket songs and avian symphonies fill the daylight air. It's a place where you can find a quiet nook, listen to the rhythm of your own heart, and extend a greeting to your very soul.
Our journey into the heart of Kalika offers more than lodging; it extends an invitation into the warm embrace of local families. In pairs, we shall reside within their humble abodes, fostering an authentic immersion into their lives and culture, nurturing the soil from which stories shall sprout. Our accommodations, though simple, offer the essentials of life, a poignant reminder that we dwell amidst them, not within the confines of a hotel or resort.
Here, we engage in the rhythms of their daily existence, weaving threads of life and learning into our own narratives, enriching our perspectives, and breathing vitality into our craft and existence.
Embracing the heartbeat of the Kumaun mountains, our local partners are none other than resilient rural women entrepreneurs. They are the guardians of self-help cooperative groups, masterful creators of exquisite handicrafts, and purveyors of organic nourishment. These extraordinary women become your hosts, infusing our rural homestays with the magic of their heritage and the warmth of their hearts.
