Family Luxury 1BHK Villa

Each one in his own right! All said and done, travel is all about changing the surroundings around you in a quest to find something within you!

Travel should be a part of your life…..it is a great teacher! By – Harichand Dhali

A traveller would know that the two things which are the most important parts of a travel plan are:

1. The place of stay

2. The food you would relish (and the drinks too, for many!)

Both the above form a major chunk of your travel budget and also the kinda experience you will get from travelling! Thus, understandably these are the two things that require very intrinsic planning. These two are also the aspects that most travellers invest their major time in.

Questions you should ask before travelling

1. - What will be my stay like?
  - What is the location?
  - What are the amenities?
  - How far is it from the market, the city centre?
  - What kinda room do they offer?
  - What is the budget? Any discounts for longer stays?
  - Kitchen facilities? Self-cooking arrangements?
  - Is WIFI stable?
  - How is the food?
  - What is the per day cost of the food?
  - What is the USP of the property?
  - Is there a river nearby?
  - The altitude of the property?
  - What is the sustainability angle attached to the property?
  - Is the property a responsible property?

All these and many more are some of the questions that pop us as we plan our travel. We surf around stay options ranging from Hotels to Resorts to Hostels (Depending on the budget). And then during the search, we come across another option i.e. HOMESTAYS. With the advent of COVID, WFH, WFM, Staycations and Social distancing the option of Homestays has suddenly become everyone’s favourite.

Personal cottages, Fully equipped kitchens, Nature living, Slow living and personalised boutique and cultural stays, a feeling of belonging, traditional living and the feeling of being part of the community. All this and much more, are what Homestays are all about. Know your host, understand his/her cultures and traditions, have an intellectual discussion or just stay in your own company amongst the flora and fauna! Homestays are a great way of exploring the place you are revisiting.

The people at Kaathkuni Homes understood the needs of the tech-savvy yet experiential travellers of today and have addressed this by presently their Unique Experiential Homestay Experiences!

#Slow Living, a concept of experiencing travel was introduced by the people at Kaathkuni Homes. In this fast-moving world, we need to appreciate the value of keeping it slow and simple. Only then can we really FIND ourselves. If we keep running the race, we will never be able to sit back and reflect; thus, the gap between ME and MYSELF keeps on broadening!

The 1 BHK “Doon Valley View Villa” is one such experiential living offering from the house of Kaathkuni Homes. Painstakingly designed to keep it simple yet unique this stay is modern, local and cultural.

Apt for a mid-size family the villa has everything to offer that a group desires. Huge lawn, outdoor sitting, Bonfire and barbeque spaces, A huge Ladakh Inspired living room that can accommodate 7-8 guests easily (for a small house party) and can also sleep 3-4 guests.

The bedroom is huge with a USP of a workstation-inspired bed. The bed is about double the size of a King Bed, that apt for working professionals. Sleep on the King sized bed and just roll over, grab the floating-legged study table and voila you have your office ready! In the evening just add another mattress and sleep 4 people easily on the huge bed.

A tastefully done big washroom with shower, geyser, ceiling fan and all amenities is a great plus. The huge fully equipped kitchen is another USP that you won’t find in most of your homestays.

The kitchen has everything you could probably need for light to heavy cooking, you name it and ts already there. Crockery, Dinner set, cooker, pots and pans, mixer grinder, a fridge, 4 burner gas top ad much more!! What else do you need now!!

If that was not enough, the wide-angled Dehradun Valley view, the lavish green forest engulfing cover around you, and the presence of birds, deer, peacocks, wild hare and beautiful/friendly dogs around you will have every nature lover smiling with joy.

The Tapri (a cute outdoor sitting hut, Handmade by the owners is something that takes the cake away! Sipping your favourite coffee, in the morning or working with your laptop attending a meeting, discussing spirituality with your friends/spouse/loved ones and much more, is what this cute one is designed for. You need to experience this to appreciate the raw beauty of The Tapri! Aptly so, there is always a great demand for the Tapri with the guests at Kaathkuni Homes.

There are numerous small nature trails, walks and treks nearby. A walk to the Bhittarli Village and a dip in the icy cold water of the Tons River is what is a real adventure all about. Soak in the sun, bathe with your family in the mountain stream and watch the birds fly by. Sip into your favourite drink with barbeque sticks in hand and hum the song you have always wanted to sing with your loved ones.
