Our stays

Two villages. Two stays.
Both deliberately small.

Every Burānsh Stay is rooted in a Garhwali village we know well. Our stays are intentionally small, so you'll get to know your hosts, not just the room you're staying in.

Sari Village · Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand

The Tāl, Sari

A cosy four-room stone cottage nestled on the scenic trail to Deoria Tal.

A surprisingly cosy four-room stone and mud home, nestled 500 metres up the scenic trail to Deoria Tal. Built the Pahadi way, the rooms stay naturally warm when it's cold and cool when it's not. At its heart is an open lounge that looks out across the mountains. A place for long conversations, quiet mornings, board games, books, and unhurried cups of chai. Step outside and you'll find village walks, forest trails, birdlife, and some of Garhwal's finest treks. Stay a little longer. The mountains reward patience.

Experiences

The trip is the point.
We just help you find it.

Some guests come to trek. Others come for the food, the birds, to write, work remotely, celebrate, or simply disappear for a few quiet days. Whether you stay for two nights or two weeks, we'll help you spend your time in the mountains well.

Journey

Closer to the Clouds, Sari

4 nights

Hike up to Deoria Tal for the sunrise, wander through Sari village, trek to Tungnath and Chandrashila, watch the sun set over the Garhwal Himalayas, and leave enough time to simply slow down.

From ₹20,000 / person

Deoria Tal at Sunrise

6 km Easy 2,438 m

A gentle 3-km climb from Sari village to a high meadow lake that mirrors Chaukhamba on a still morning. The trail rises through rhododendron forest and ends at an open shore where the snowline does most of the talking.

Made For

Family & Friends

The trip where you spend time with your loved ones. Big breakfasts, unhurried trails, slow afternoons, a bonfire everyone remembers differently. Reunions, celebrations and shared adventures.

All experiences

A conversation, not just a booking

Tell us who's travelling, how many days you have, and what kind of trip you're hoping for. We'll help shape the rest. From where to stay and what to explore, to meals, transport and local recommendations.

Rooted in the mountains

Our homes are inspired by traditional Garhwali architecture and run by local teams. Meals are home-cooked, ingredients are seasonal where possible, and every stay supports the people and villages around us.

Intentionally small

Each Burānsh stay has just a handful of rooms, giving us the time to know our guests, not just their booking. Whether you stay in one village or both, the same care follows you throughout your journey.

Where we are

Two stays. Two valleys.
One scenic mountain drive.

Sari is our home for Deoria Tal, village life and Himalayan views. Mandal is where old forests, mountain rivers and quieter trails begin. Around 40 km apart, the two are connected by a beautiful drive through Chopta's dense forests and meadows, making it easy to experience both valleys in one journey.
