5 private bedrooms | upto 12 guests

Welcome to Sargakhet, a Kumaoni hamlet situated in the loving & generous lap of the Panchachuli peaks. Close enough for easy access to the effervescence of Mukteshwar, yet tucked away in sweet tranquility, this blessed little spot is now home to Ayesha & Rahool.

Having grown up at Sherwood College, Nainital, Rahool had carried an undying love for the Himalayas all through his fast-paced adult life in the city. Back in 2017 Rahool & Ayesha set out to identify the perfect spot to come back home to the mountains. The search, conceptualization and manifestation of their collective dream project was a six-year long journey studded with countless twists & turns. A story they now love to recount with their guests over drinks & dinner.

Now open to guests and peace-seekers, their home (and personal attention) is a true reflection of the joys of living a slower life. The rooms, balconies and shared spaces are as large, homey & cheerful as their love for meeting + hosting people.
