The Rustic Charm Homestay – Peora

The Rustic Charm Homestay – Peora 

Peora is a tiny hamlet nestled amidst the picturesque valley in Kumaon just 10 kms from Mukteshwar in Nainital district of Uttarakhand. The village, with traditional tiled-roof huts sparsely scattered on the slopes of its contoured valleys, is an unexplored hidden gem still untouched by modernity and has a rustic charm to it. You get breathtaking panoramic views of outer Himalayan Shivalik ranges of Kumaon from here. There are many unexplored trails in dense pine forests where you can spot wild flowers and Himalayan birds. The primary income of people here is from fruit cultivation. From plums, peaches, apricots to chestnut, walnut and pomegranate everything grows here.

Extension of a 120 yrs old ancestral house of Kamal Bisht, Peora homestay is perfect if you want to experience the culture of a Kumaoni village. The home overlooks the majestic Shivalik peaks and the glittering town of Almora. There are 2 well maintained comfortable guest rooms with an attached bathroom in each. There is a private Naula as well in the homestay premises.
