Vanadevi is a unique place where the profound purity and intensity of nature ascend to a divine realm. A 15 minutes walk from the roadhead through meandering hill path brings you to this hidden gem. At Vanadevi we respect the energy of the place. Therefore, accommodation is limited to eight cottages and hosting limit is 20 participants maximum.
Our Meditation hall constructed from local stones, with a wooden floor designed to enhance our connection with nature. A lotus pond graces the front of the hall. Inside, the walls are adorned with depictions of various divinities, including our principal goddess, Vanadevi. The paintings, created by Buddhist monks, embody a sense of purity and serenity that are essential for reaching a deep state of meditation. Cottages are made of local stones using old Garhwal style, a time-consuming process but they blend seamlessly in the surroundings and provide a very effective isolation against the extreme weather conditions of mountains.
We have 8 cottages in three different categories.
They are spacious and tastefully decorated. Every cottage is fitted with a double or two single beds, sofa seats and coffee table, a writing table and chair, a mini fridge, a wardrobe, a luggage rack. A specious bathroom with all modern amenities completes the bill.
We procure a great deal of our food from surrounding villages where grains, vegetables and spices are cultivated. Furthermore, our dishes are prepared according to local cuisine cooked on slow fire is healthy, tasty and full of distinctive earthy flavours.
