Travel brought us together and took us over mountains and molehills. We traveled around the world, to Canada, the US, Chile, Europe, the UK, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, South Africa, Namibia, and more. We loved doing it alone, and we loved doing it together. We became passionate about a few things, namely the Himalayas. We fell in love with the communities and cultures of the various parts of these mountains. Today, we live in a small village near Ranikhet.

**This place is located at a 10min walk from the road.** In an old Kumaoni village is a modern cottage. A cosy house just like the houses near it, the cottage has 1 bedroom, a living space, an open kitchen and a garden area. If you are looking for a place that is truly away from the road and the traffic and a place that will take you back 50 years to a time when the world was much quieter, this place is it. This cottage is our vision of exclusivity of a kind that money can't and won't buy
