Villa Loshegani is located at a height of about 7000 ft. amidst a 2 acre fruit orchard with 360 degree views of the surrounding hills. Towards the north, we have a stunning 180 degree view (Oct to March) of the snow clad Himalayan range. Built in 2005 and recently extensively renovated, the villa is a blend of local stone craft and American Post & Beam houses. The plan of the villa and the abundant double glazed windows are designed to optimise natural light throughout the day while insulating the indoors against the winter cold. Outdoor sit outs & sun decks abound and spectacular views are guaranteed from almost anywhere in the Villa & the estate; including from benches placed at vantage points. My wife Anjali, an avid gardener, has nurtured surrounding gardens to complement the Villa.
The villa offers luxurious accommodation for 6 guests. The main house has two bedrooms, both with king size beds, spring mattresses, work spaces, ensuite bathrooms and private decks / verandas as sit outs. The master bedroom, located on the first floor, opens on to the attic, used as our private lounge with a smart TV + cable connection.
The living room offers comfortable seating and an open fireplace; while the dining table accommodates 6 guests. The kitchen is fully equipped, including an expresso machine. Both the living and dining rooms open out to more decks and verandas with easy seating and two options for al fresco dinning – all with garden or Himalayan views.
The recently built annexe offers a luxurious self-contained suite on the first floor with a queen size bed, a living section for lounging, a fire place and an ensuite bathroom. The entire space has a wraparound deck offering spectacular views from both inside and outside. The ground floor houses a cosy study and a dark room (for photography enthusiasts).
All indoor spaces have underfloor heating making it very comfortable during the winters. Wi-fi is available in all indoor and adjacent outdoor spaces. Bluetooth / wi-fi speakers placed across the indoors help enhance the overall mood. Yoga enthusiasts can use our mats for a “surya-namaskar” at sunrise.

Ce que vous allez adorer dans le quartier
Villa Loshegani is a place for nature lovers, who wish to relax and enjoy life at a slow pace while experience rural India at its best. The immediate vicinity of villa provides excellent opportunities for walks & treks through mountainsides, forests and valleys, and maybe an occasional picnic lunch. Visit nearby villages to see traditional style local homes and temples both ancient and new. A stop at the local tea shop will help you take in the local vibe. A handful of stores run by NGO’s retail local handicrafts, wool & pashmina shawls as well as select local/organic produce.
Destinations for day trips would include the lake district within a 1.5 hr driving radius. Nainital is the crown jewel of that area and makes a nice day trip for a relatively urban hit. A drive down to the tea plantations at Sheetla Khet is a nice experience for those who have not been to a tea estate before. Almora is just a couple of hours away and offers an opportunity to experience a small town in Kumaon. Just ahead of Almora is Jageshwar with its formidable ancient Chital Temples.

Le mot de la fin
Villa Loshgegani is not a culinary destination. There’s a nice hotel at walking distance run by friends where you could go for a local speciality meal. A few decent restaurants would be 30-50 minutes’ drive. We therefore mostly self-cater at home. Our kitchen pantry is normally stocked with items used by us, which you are welcome to use. The closest urban grocery store is some 30 minutes by car where one finds most Indian and some international basics. Exotics & other “must haves” should be shopped in Delhi; as must all alcoholic drinks.
Your exchange will include daily housekeeping. Bed & bath linen will be changed once a week. If you should need, we can arrange to send a cook for the duration of your stay and even stock the kitchen as per your requirements. This will be charged on actuals.
The villa is not suitable for elderly guests or those with walking disabilities as one has to climb some 100 + steps (albiet a gentle & meandering climb ) to reach the villa from the parking area. The villa itself is at split/multiple levels. Power outages are frequent, but we have battery and generator back up, especially after dark. Mobile signals are available but its best to get local SIMs. Wi -fi speed is low (12 mbps!), but sufficient for emails, casual browsing, WhatsApp messaging & calls and streaming Netflix etc.
New Delhi is the closest international airport - about 350 km from here. Travel options include by road, train and flights. Local cabs (a bit shabby) are available when needed or you can hire a cab in Delhi for the duration of your entire stay at about $ 40 a day.
We are not keen to exchange with families with small children. The property is not pet friendly and indoors is non smooking.
We also have another property listed on Home Exchange (search for Birdwatchers Paradise II, Goa, India).
