Slow living with a shot of empowerment in the Himalayas

The high altitude of Munsiari means pleasantly cool to cold weather year-round. 

Each season brings experiences suited to different travellers. May to June is ideal for those seeking to escape the summer heat, while the spring and autumn months would be the choice of trekkers and climbers. 

The monsoon arrives in July and August. While the rainfall may obscure the panoramic views, the season will delight those keen on botany, with the alpine meadows in particular being at their verdant best. 

Winter brings crystal clear skies and toasty sunny days, the slanting winter light casting a pale glow over the snow-covered landscape. It is the best time for photography, reading, and for long meditative walks.

Munsiari is a remote rural mountain destination. While our village community has modernised to a degree, our homestays retain their rural charm and offer a slice of slow living to those interested in learning about the local culture and heritage and forming a bond with their hosts.
