Our Story - Bhula Homestays
In Kumaon, Bhula refers to a wandering mountain boy who shares a deep bond with nature and gods. When we envisioned our homestay, the core idea was to embody Uttarkhand’s traditional ethics, moral values, and the simplicity of nature's bond with its people. At the heart of our hospitality business is the desire to showcase the traditional warmth and generosity of the Pahadi (mountain) people. These principles guide us in creating a welcoming space where we offer genuine warmth and share the enchantment of the hills that make this region truly special.
Located in the idyllic towns of Bhimtal and Pauri Garhwal, Bhula Homestays offer a unique cultural experience. Surrounded by the majestic Himalayas and the serene landscapes, our mission is to create a memorable stay that combines comfort, local culture, and the natural beauty of this enchanting region. We also focus on rural tourism, providing our guests with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the local lifestyle and offering a truly unique and exciting cultural experience.
Why Bhula Homestays?
At Bhula Homestay, our primary focus is on two key aspects: rural tourism and ecotourism. While the villages of Uttarakhand are popular tourist destinations, ecotourists have yet to fully explore the state's rich flora, fauna, and cultural heritage. We strive to provide our guests with an authentic rural lifestyle experience, an opportunity to discover and embrace warm hospitality and cultural heritage, and a chance to savour the beauty of our landscapes.
At Bhula Homestay, we are not just a business but a community. By choosing to stay with us, you are not only experiencing the beauty of the region but also making a significant contribution to the livelihood of the local people. Our approach is to involve the local community and generate additional revenue from rural tourism, which in turn helps revive traditional folk art, culture, and overall lives. Your stay with us is a positive and natural economic exchange between rural and urban environments, making a real difference in the lives of the people here and giving you a sense of direct contribution to the community.
Our Mission.
At our core, we strive to offer guests a genuine taste of mountain living in Bhimtal and experience the cultural heritage of the region.

Deeply rooted in Uttarakhand’s heritage, we inspire a sense of slow living by creating unique, local and heartwarming experiences for our guests.
Our goal is to encourage sustainable tourism practices that are advantageous to both our guests and the community.
