Sunkiya Farmstay-Mukteshwar
Sunkiya Farmstay – Mukteshwar
Panoramic views of snow-clad majestic Himalayas, rolling hills covered with thick Oak & Deodar forests, gorgeous star-studded night sky to refresh your romance, waterfall in close vicinity to reflect on life, fruit orchards full of Peach, Plum, Apricot and Apple to pamper your taste buds altogether makes the right picture of Mukteshwar.
Not just a homestay, it’s a farm stay nestled in the lap of nature. Located in Sunkiya village, its only 3 km from Bhetlia market. Far away from pollution, noise and chaos, it is rooted in a huge Oak forest and fruit orchard. We have Peach, Plum, Apricot and Apple tree to please fruit lovers. Visit us in the months of Jan-Feb to enjoy fresh snow, Mar-Apr when the landscape is colored red with Rhododendron flowers, June-Aug to enjoy crunchy garden fresh fruits or any time of the year to escape the maddening crowed of city.
There is a set of 2 guest rooms on the first floor, with an external bathroom, a huge balcony overlooking the valley. Another room is on the ground floor with a bathroom to be shared only with our family. There is a Tree House as well just a few meters from the main house. The best part is, it is secludedly located about 350 mtr off the road to give you ultimate peace & privacy. Only few deer and birds come to entertain you sometime. Come with family, friends or solo, you will love it!

Warm Hospitality Amidst Hills
We had a wonderful time with the warm hospitality of the hosts, a place to be visited for those wishing to escape the maddening humdrum for moments of peace languishing amidst hills and the serene valley.

We got what we were looking for!
"It was indeed a marvellous experience and fabulous hilly treat. Here we actually realized that the greatest creations of GOD is......Family and Mother Nature. We will always cherish this unforgettable trip which was full of Love, Care & Calmness. Through this review I would also like to thank Mr Vinod & our wonderful host..Mr & Mrs Pooran Ji for lovely hospitality which they have offered. To sum up I can only say that WE GOT WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR. Finally, I end with a quote which someone has rightly said "Those who travel to mountain-tops are half in love with themselves, and half in love with oblivion".

Totally worth it!
"My love for anything that's rustic yet beautiful often takes me to places less ventured. This time I chose Mukteshwar, and chose a 'homestay' run by Puran Singhji and his wife in a small hamlet called 'Sunkiya' near Mukteshwar ...totally worth it! Welcomed by clean air and blue sky ..simple clean rooms... good healthy food with veggies straight out of their garden... basking in the sun with a great view overlooking acres of terraced fields. They have cows too which means that we got milk, ghee and curd rite from the source. Puran Singhji & 'didi' as I called his wife were great hosts in their own simple way. It's a pet friendly home, even my four legged child queen was much at ease and looked like she was home. Highly recommended."

I felt like I was in paradise
This was the first homestay where I stayed, and I felt like I was in paradise for the ten days that we stayed there during October. It was an amazing experience, if only for the breathtaking view from the terrace in front of the room. We spent all of our time relaxing in and around the homestay, and we weren't bored for even one second. The homestay is truly a hidden gem where you can find immediate inner peace. It was almost painful to leave. On top of that the host, his wife and his son are the sweetest people and incredibly hospitable. Admittedly, I'm a very picky eater but the food there was some of the best which I ever had. Incredibly fresh and amazingly well prepared. Would travel all the way back there for the food alone. Thank you for giving us the time of our life, I definitely hope to come back here soon.
