"Daya"

A studio apartment on the first floor of a villa away from the bustle. The location is unique. It is an island of sunny serenity in close vicinity of Rishikesh, once a thinly populated holy town which has now got clogged. The access to our village is closely controlled by the forest department, thus making it less prone to vehicular traffic. The access timings are seasonally regulated and the guests would be informed to strictly adhere to those timings to avoid inconvenience. Availability of bountiful of nature. Common sighting of the fauna of the forest such as the peacocks, birds of different species, deer, and rare sighting of elephants. Rarest of the rare could be a leopard if one is lucky. The guests can also savour pure vegetarian food available piping hot from the earthen hearth ( Chulha) from locally available "Hema's Rasoi" on pre-order with prior notice. An open air splash-pool with fresh ground water from a submersible pump. A makeshift shower tent can be provided for privacy to those who wish to experience the torrent of fresh water to take a uniquely refreshing experience along. The hosts occupy the ground floor. They are globally travelled. The guests can interact with the hosts personally to take tips about sites to be visited not only in Rishikesh but also in India and other countries that we have visited. They can exchange their travel experiences and future expectations. Contacting through (Hidden by Airbnb) and phone calls / sms is permissible. "Daya" is a bird watcher and Nature lover's paradise. You can spend your entire time merrily identifying birds in Ganga and in the jungle around. Plenty of flora and fauna for those who wish to explore the regime of our neighborhood denizens. A wide variety of local birds and seasonal migratory ones will fascinate both the hardy bird watchers as well as the newbies. Personal vehicles are ideal to reach us. Cabs are available from Dehradun airport, Yog Nagari Rishikesh Railway Station, and Haridwar. Once here, one can hire two wheelers from several sources in Rishikesh to move around because the town may become extremely crowded with the arterial roads totally clogged for a four wheeler to move. Two wheelers can easily take to lanes and bylanes to get around. Two wheelers can be organised on request to make moving around convenient. 1. This is a naturally peaceful place.
