Kaudia Estate: Luxury villas in Garhwal Himalayas
Kaudia Estate is located within a dense pine forest in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas
With domestic tourism booming across India as Covid-19 pandemic recedes, there is a sharp spike in demand for vacations in unique outdoor destinations as tourists seek tranquillity and peace on their holidays.
According to a press statement, luxurious private villas available to rent as short-term second home are becoming a hot favourite amongst the discerning and affluent vacation-goers. The statement says that Kaudia Estate located within a dense pine forest in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas with unobstructed, stunning views of the mighty peaks across a 180-degree horizon is the ultimate travel fantasy.
The statement says that it is a comfortable, three-hour drive from the Dehradun airport, this property is an easy to approach, quiet, undiscovered, private estate that gives full freedom to create an intensely personal holiday experience. One can customise the stay for complete privacy and peace in a postcard-from-paradise setting, or turn it into an adventure and activity filled getaway with unique treks, picnics and hikes up the hills, says the statement.
The statement says that these gorgeous villas, set against snow-capped mountains in the far distance can be the perfect romantic getaway, a joyous family vacation setting, or a celebrity hideout with breakfast on the terrace, sundowners on the patios and barbeque under the stars!
There are three identical villas, with charming and distinctive interiors. Each villa comes quipped with three en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, a dining area, living area and private lawns.
The statement says that each time of the year is a unique opportunity to experience life in the mountains. ‘‘Winter is the time to enjoy the crisp, cold air and tuck into the comfort of the warm living spaces with crackling fires in a deep-set fireplace. A perfect environment for cosy conversations with friends and family, making indelible memories: conversations, playing board games, reading, stargazing and planning hot meal menus home-cooked by the ever-smiling staff. As winter thickens some deep snowfall can come in as a treat, allowing for stomping around in ankle length boots, snowball fights, and building a snowman,’’ says the statement.
“Kaudia Estate originated as a dream for a super luxury holiday home in the hills for three friends during a golf game. My friends and I spent a couple of years travelling in the hills to identify a location that was nestled in the forest with a clear view of the majestic Himalayan range and then several more years to build the cottages and the supporting infrastructure. Now, in addition to its secluded location and majestic views, the property provides peace and serenity that immerses the guests in a lap of luxury,’’ shares Arvind Srivastava, the co-founder.
‘‘Food is a gastronomical experience at Kaudia with authentic Pahari cuisine as a specialty. We take pride in our curation of an extensive and customizable menu with a ‘farm to table” approach. We source organic produce from our vegetable garden as well as local farms and markets around the Estate,’’ says Avnish Dimri, General Manager – Kaudia Estate.
