Sunrise over the ridges of the Doon Valley, the name Hridhyam across the horizon
Doon Valley · Uttarakhand

Fifteen houses,
quietly
kept.

Restored homes across the folds of the Doon, from the valley floor to the Mussoorie ridge.

Restored homes across the folds of the Doon — from the valley floor at six hundred metres to the Mussoorie ridge at two thousand. Each one hosted by the family that keeps it.

I · Ethos

Small houses,
long mornings.

Each house was standing long before we found it. Stone laid without cement, deodar beams cut from the slope behind, a kitchen that has fed four generations. We repaired roofs, added heating and hot water, and left the rest.

You rent the whole house. There is no reception, no other party in the next room. The family who keeps it lives nearby, cooks if you ask, and otherwise leaves you alone.

“We came for two nights and spent the last morning trying to work out how to stay a week. Nobody hurried us. Nobody even seemed to be working.”
