The Retreat Experience
Mountain Retreat at Chai n Estilo
Live the Pahadi Way. Feel the Nature.
Welcome to the Mountain Retreat at Chai n Estilo — a soulful escape into the raw beauty of the Himalayas, where mist rolls over hills, rivers hum in the background, and each day begins with birdsong and chai.
This is not a resort | This is not a luxury hotel | This is a home. A feeling. An experience.
What Makes This Retreat Unique
- Authentic Pahadi Living — Our homestay reflects the humble charm of mountain life — think cozy beds, mud floors, simple comforts, and open-hearted hosts. Here, you’ll live like a local: share homemade meals, walk the land, help in the kitchen, and feel connected to the rhythm of the hills.
- Chai with a View — Sip hand-blended chai made with mountain herbs and spring water, served on a wooden deck that overlooks rolling fields and dancing clouds. At Chai n Estilo, every cup feels like a warm hug from the mountains.
- Nature as Your Companion — Wake to the music of flowing water. Meditate beneath ancient trees. Stroll through terraced farms. Watch stars scatter across the night sky. Here, nature is not the backdrop — it’s your daily companion.
- No WiFi, No Noise — Just True Connection- Unplug from screens and plug into yourself. Write by the river. Paint the sunset. Share stories by the bonfire. This is your space to pause and breathe deeply — no rush, no roles, just presence.
- Simple Pleasures, Deep Memories — Birdsong, bonfires, shared laughter, silent mornings — these are our luxuries. The kind that stay with you long after you’ve left. For the Soul-Seekers, Dreamers, and You
For the soul-seekers, dreamers, writers, and you.
Whether you’re a writer seeking stillness, a traveler craving authenticity, or simply someone in need of a deep exhale, this retreat was made for you.

Food: Pahadi Local Authentic Food
A Taste of the Mountains, Cooked with Love
At Chai n Estilo, food is not just about flavor — it’s about tradition, connection, and nourishment straight from the hills.
We proudly serve authentic Pahadi meals, made with local ingredients, time-honored recipes, and a whole lot of love. Every dish reflects the soul of Uttarakhand, taking you on a culinary journey through the mountains.
- Locally Sourced Ingredients: Fresh vegetables from nearby fields, hand-ground spices, pulses from mountain farms, and Himalayan herbs — we use seasonal produce that’s grown naturally and harvested with care.
- Simple, Pure & Nourishing: Our meals are light, earthy, and easy on the stomach — just as mountain food should be. No processed masalas, no artificial flavors — only pure, home-style cooking the way our grandmothers did.
- Cooked in Traditional Style: Meals are often prepared on a chulha (wood-fire stove), served hot in copper or clayware, and made by local women who carry the warmth of mountain kitchens in their hands.
