NamaStay Himalayas 🧘🌲🏔️🕉️

[Yudhish-Dutt0]

Hello everyone! 

I’m Yudhish from NamaStay Himalayas, a peaceful retreat tucked away in Kanatal, Uttarakhand, just 46 miles from the Yoga Capital of the World—Rishikesh. I'm truly honored to join the ranks of Superhosts and deeply grateful to our incredible guests for their trust and kind words.

At NamaStay Himalayas, we offer more than just a stay—we offer an experience rooted in nature, tranquility, and mindful living.

My favorite hosting tips?

📍Share local stories and hidden gems – Guests love discovering what guidebooks miss.
🧘 Encourage mindful travel – We encourage guests to travel gently, respect the land, and immerse in nature with awareness.
🌱Be part of something larger –Travel becomes transformative when it supports local communities, honors the environment, and nurtures meaningful experiences. More than just a retreat, we see our space as a seed for something deeper. We’re currently working on building a farming community that promotes sustainable living, organic cultivation, and a return to simpler ways.

I’m excited to learn from all of you and be part of Airbnb's inspiring global community. If you ever find yourself in Uttarakhand, India you’re warmly invited to NamaStay Himalayas for a cup of chai and a sunset.

Namaste,
NamaStay Himalayas

Hello @Yudhish-Dutt0 👋

Welcome to the Community Center and huge congratulations on achieving Superhost status! The farming community you mention sounds wonderful and I'm really interested in sustainability . What kind of crops are you planning to grow first?

Hi @Rebecca! 

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. We’re really excited about the farming community project.

We’re starting with crops that thrive in our Himalayan climate—seasonal vegetables like potatoes, garlic, beans, spinach, and cabbages, along with herbs such coriander & mint and traditional grains like rajma (kidney beans). We’re also planting a variety of fruits—like apples, walnuts, and apricots—that thrive in Kanatal’s crisp mountain climate and it's altitude of around 8,500 feet.

What makes this journey even more meaningful is that we’re already welcoming volunteers and nature-minded guests who want to get involved—whether it's planting, harvesting, or simply reconnecting with the land in a hands-on way. It’s a beautiful exchange of energy and values.

Looking forward to sharing more, learning from others, and being part of this vibrant community.

Warm regards,
Yudhish

Thank you so much! 

There’s something deeply satisfying about cooking and sharing food that’s been grown locally. The colors and flavors are a gift, and we love passing that on through our meals.

Appreciate the kind wishes—and you're always welcome to visit us in Kanatal.
