About Village Stay | Peaceful Village Homestay in Uttarakhand

In a small village called Ropra in the state of Uttarakhand,India, close to the
village of Jeolikote, which is on the highway halfway between the rail head of
Kathgodam and the hillstation of Nainital (18 kms.) are located the homestay
called Woodlands and a hut colony named White Clover.
Being surrounded by a predominantly pine forest with deciduous trees and at
an altitude of nearly 4500 ft above sea level gives this village and surrounding
areas a very pleasant climate most of the year with winter temperatures falling to
near 5 degrees C at night and rising up to near 30 degrees C in the
day during summer. With a peaceful setting away from the rush of mainstream
traffic but connected by a village motorable road one wakes up in the mornings
to the sound of birds singing to the joys of another day.
The forest above the village, having a mixture of trees and extending all the
way to the foothills of the Himalaya puts this area bang on a migration route of
birds looking for cooler weather to breed in, some coming in from all the way
down in peninsular India. So besides the numerous resident birds one can spot an
amazing variety of species of our feathered friends, who move up in March/April
towards higher altitudes from the plains of India and back down during October
and November in their seasonal migration for breeding. We’ve even had the
Great Hornbill nesting around our villages in the past few years.
The temperate climate with forest surroundings,away from the husle and bustle
of towns,which are within an hours drive away,with motorable access and set in a
small village, make these facilities ideal for families wanting a peaceful holiday
together, birdwatchers,nature lovers and yoga workshops from time to time
qualifies these Units as a unique destination for a holiday. In addition there are
easy jungle walks and picnics for the adventurous which can be a part of the
activities available if desired.
