Sarmoli
Munsiari, Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand
- Description
one of the success stories of homestay or rural tourism in Uttarakhand: The local women redesigned an existing room at their home and converted it into a guest room. Sarmoli is well known for its rich culture and heritage and serves as the pathway for many short adventure treks. Sarmoli's unique tourism initiative lets you enjoy the daily life of the village closely and also let you take part in local crop plantation like rajma or sweet potatoes in different seasons. The village was officially adopted by a fellow traveler and mountaineer, Mallika Virdi along with her husband two decades back. She settled in this village, escaping from the cacophony of cities to the quiet village. Sarmoli Uttarakhand offers 25 homestays to tourists, giving them a sneak peek of the everyday village life amongst the locals. In the homestay at Sarmoli, the tourists stay with the family in one of their rooms. They eat homemade native food and merge completely into the native culture and style.
