The Soul of Narkanda
Our Legacy & Spirit
"Dyar Koul is not just a homestay, it is a Himalayan home where travelers experience the slow mountain life, local food, and breathtaking forest views."
Founded by Avinash and Katha this homestay is a reflection of their shared love for the mountains and meaningful travel. After building careers in multinational companies and experiencing the fast-paced city life, they chose to follow their passion and move to the Himalayas.
Avinash, an outdoor enthusiast and mountaineer, and Katha, an architect and a true nature lover, bring together their diverse perspectives to create a space that celebrates simplicity, design, and connection with nature. As avid travelers themselves, they believe that the most memorable journeys are rooted in authentic experiences.
Established in 2022, the homestay is set in a region known as the “fruit bowl,” surrounded by lush orchards and serene landscapes. More than just a place to stay, it offers guests an opportunity to slow down and immerse themselves in mountain life. From guided local trails to visits to nearby farms, every experience is thoughtfully curated to showcase the beauty and culture of the region.
This homestay stands as an invitation to step away from the ordinary and embrace a simpler, more soulful way of living.
