Located in Chhataula, about 14 km from Mukteshwar, Gopi’s Mudhouse is a haven for someone seeking peace and tranquility. A short walk of about 400 meters through the forest of oak takes you to this place, a labour of love for Gopi. Built in traditional Kumaoni style this charming homestay is an ideal getaway from your hectic city life. Take leisurely hike into the forest, go on birding trails, visit Mukteshwar temple, enjoy fruit plucking in Gopi’s orchard full of apricot, peach and plum trees, learn gardening or just do nothing and laze in balmy sun. Enjoy your breakfast under the plum tree overlooking the mighty Himalayas and dinners under the star lit sky. Gather around bonfire, listen to spellbinding stories of Gopi; a testimony to grit, courage, and a stubborn refusal to admit defeat. From the orchards to ivy woven around the underroof to the trees he has planted around and the way he maintains the mud floored courtyard, Gopi has done it all by himself.
