SamathaStay — Himalayan Homestay in Sarmoli, Munsiyari

Our story

Slow mornings, long views

Welcome to your peaceful mountain escape. Wake up to the Panchachuli peaks right from your balcony, with valley views that get better with every cup of morning chai — the kind of view you usually only see in travel magazines.

We're a standalone property with no other houses for 500 metres on either side, so what you get here is real quiet: just birdsong, mountain breeze, and clear night skies for stargazing. Come for the peace, stay for the comfort — clean rooms, hot water, Wi-Fi, and home-cooked food, all without losing that away-from-it-all feeling.

Why stay with us

Your peaceful mountain escape

🏔️

The views

Wake up to stunning Panchachuli peaks right from your room's private balcony, with valley views all around — perfect for sunrise watching with your morning chai.

🤫

Peace & privacy

Our biggest USP: a standalone property with no other houses for 500 metres on either side. No noise, no disturbances — just you, the birds, and the mountain breeze.

🛜

All the comforts

Free Wi-Fi, hot water geysers, RO drinking water, private parking, CCTV security, and clean, comfortable rooms with cozy beds.

🎲

Things to do

A common area made for slowing down — chill with a board game, get lost in a book, or put on some music.

📍

Location

About 1.5–2 km from the main market for your daily needs — restaurants and shops close by — yet far enough to feel like you've left it all behind. Khaliya Top, one of the region's best-loved treks, is just 9–10 km away.

👥

Who it's for

Trekkers, families, couples, solo travellers, photographers — anyone craving a digital detox and authentic mountain living.

"We want you to feel at home, not like you're staying at some formal hotel. Relax on your balcony, play games, go for treks, or just do nothing — whatever makes you happy. This place is about slowing down and soaking in the Himalayan beauty."

Where to stay

Rooms & dorm

Five private rooms — each with hot water, Wi-Fi, and a Panchachuli or valley view — plus a shared backpacker dorm.
