As a little girl, I grew up in a world of storybooks, imagination, and make-believe homes. I spent hours creating tiny worlds for my dolls — rearranging rooms, decorating corners, and making sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Even then, I believed in a simple kind of magic: a world where people were kind to one another, conversations flowed easily, meals were shared with love, and everyone felt they belonged. Somehow, I never outgrew that feeling.

When we built that home amidst the forests of Bisht Gaon, at the foothills of Mussoorie, it became a reflection of everything I had once imagined as a child. Every corner was created with love, care, and the hope of building a space where life could be enjoyed at a gentler pace.

What started as our dream home slowly grew into a homestay. Over the years, it has become my own little world — one filled with stories, shared meals, laughter, and the beautiful uniqueness of every person who arrives here. Some guests come seeking adventure. Some come seeking rest. Some arrive without quite knowing what they are looking for. But every conversation, every smile, and every meal shared around the table leaves behind a memory. At Kailasa Woods, guests often arrive as strangers and leave feeling like family.

Our three unique stays each offer a unique experience — from a cosy family room within our home, to the whimsical Amazon Bus, and our signature Bamboo Cottage, a deodar wood retreat tucked within a bamboo canopy. Wherever you choose to stay, nature is always your closest companion.

While nature encourages you to slow down, there is also plenty of space to enjoy time with family and friends. Our recreation area is filled with simple pleasures — a game of table tennis, a round of pool, a carrom match, or board games that bring everyone together. For those who like to stay active, we also have a fully equipped gym, so your fitness routine does not have to take a holiday. And on warm afternoons, our swimming pool is the perfect place to cool off, relax, and soak in the peaceful surroundings.
