Kyarki Village Homestay & Cafe

It was such a serene stay. The hospitality by Paul was very warm and Shubham took care in the nicest way possible. Location was very peaceful. Perfect place to have a stay without hustle and bustle. Would love to visit again :)

La struttura è immersa nel verde con una vista spettacolare e comunque con l’accesso facile da raggiungere. La camera molto confortevole e con piccole attenzioni che fanno piacere, tipo le luci soffuse per la lettura, le ciabattine fuori dalla doccia, il tappetino e la bellissima amaca fuori dalla porta.

Io ha la fobia un po’ delle scimmie per cui per me è stato un po’ impegnativo. La strada che porta alla struttura è davvero spettacolare e attraversa una cascata incredibile, ma le pioggia di settembre hanno purtroppo reso la strada accessibile solo alle due ruote per cui ero l’unica ospite delle strutture intorno, per cui non ho fatto nessuna attività come trekking o bagno nelle cascate essendo comunque un po’ pericolosi visto le piogge. Per cui non ho goduto appieno del luogo che potenzialmente è fantastico. Paul comunque mi ha trattato come una regina soddisfando tutte le richieste che poteva. Non avevo molta scelta per il cibo in questo momento non c’erano possibilità di diete alternative (es latte soia, frutta fresca al di là di banane o mele o cucina alternativa rispetto al pharata, ma credo fosse dovuto alla situazione del momento).

Everything about the stay was fantastic, especially the stunning view from the property. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the facilities were top-notch.

The jet spray of the bathroom was not working properly everything else was great 😃

Madhu was an amazing host. All the facilities are really good. Food was great and staff was cooperative.Good stay in the lap of nature with perfect view

Only bugs

The ambiance was truly lovely - we really enjoyed our time! Paulson is a wonderful host. Harpal Singh Ji's food was delicious, and Tamanna was a sweet girl - her housekeeping service was incredible. The furry friends Chill, Mill, and Jill (the cats), along with Fruity and Biscuits (the dogs), were a delightful bonus. We loved the peaceful and calm environment. Looking forward to visiting again!

Amazing place! The people were so friendly and nice!

Comfortable stay, peaceful environment and Generous welcome. Property is very well managed by Paul, must visit place for sunset view point.

Hospitality, service, food and atmosphere

Road towards Kyarki needs repair and lacks public transport

A magical place due to it's location and owners. Just a 20 min drive from Rishikesh to absolute peace and beauty. The apartment is in a great location with views across the mountains, through trees, birds and monkeys! 2 minutes walk from the property is a sunset spot with a small cafe which others travel to from miles around, looking down over the Rishkesh and the Ganges. There are plenty of walks to do if you're feeling fit including Neer waterfalls; all the way downhill to Topavan; up hill with plenty of roadside cafes on the way. Access to Topovan is also easy via taxi or hire a scooter and get around like the locals. This property is not your average homestay, whether Paulson & Madhavi can keep up this incredible level of hosting, I don't know, they put so much energy, care and attention into reading guests needs and ensuring they were comfortable. They introduced guests into more of a social group with the other guests if wanted, but could equally enable a more private stay if that's what suited. This place is their home and you are encouraged to feel at home and part of the family. This is particularly evident with how food is available at the property. Though I know they plan to develop this offering further to create a cafe, at the time we stayed we were provided with breakfast, teas and coffees, and dinner if we wanted it, plus the choice of bottle or fresh mountain water. A delicious group vegetarian meal was prepared, taking into account the differing needs of the guests and we had the option of being served individually at the table outside our room or joining a wider group on the main balcony. Paulson will very generously show you around the area and chat away with much laughter on the way. He will also arrange scooters, airport transfers, white water rafting, friendship! I highly recommend and we would definitely return. I would go on but I've run out of space!

It was unique, I wouldn't change a thing.
