Philosophy
Slowness Himalayas offers a simple yet luxurious farmstay that blends with nature. Guests relax in cozy rooms with local decor and can join workshops on mindfulness and sustainable living. The stay includes delicious meals made from local ingredients, providing a slow-paced and fulfilling dining experience.
History
In 2019, Kriti and Ashish left Delhi in 2019 to pursue their dream of living on a permaculture farm in the mountains. They celebrate Slow & Conscious Living and share with guests looking to reconnect with nature and living at nature’s pace, promoting sustainable living. They are mindful of the ecological sensitivities in the area and strive to immerse themselves into the local community by sharing indigenous knowledge and supporting local neighbors.
Mission & Vision
The guest home is built with sustainable materials such as stone, mud, and lime and is inspired by traditional Kumaoni architecture. The rooms are well insulated to keep cool in summer and warm in winter. They’ve included a traditional architectural feature of cavities in the roof for birds to nest and rest in.

Everything about Slowness Himalayas is centered around living one with nature and the land
Everything about Slowness Himalayas is centered around living one with nature and the land. Their permaculture farm ensures they are self-sufficient and they’ve only used natural building materials used throughout the farm, such as bamboo, stone, and soil. There is no plastic use on the farm, they use solar energy for lighting and live seasonally to ensure minimal environmental impact.
