Welcome to NamaStay Himalayas, Kanatal
Kanatal is a picturesque Himalayan hamlet within the Kaudia Forest Range, surrounded by deodar, pine, oak, and rhododendron forests. Our home rests in an apple orchard, overlooking the sacred Surkanda Devi Temple - a Shakti Peeth, and the Himalayan ranges stretching behind — from Pir Panjal to Nanda Devi.
The house carries its own history — first built as a storage space for orchard supplies, later serving as a village school, and now lovingly transformed into a warm, comfortable farmstay for travelers seeking peace, nature, and connection.
