Homestay Investment: Avoid Costly Mistakes
Homestay Investment: Avoid Costly Mistakes
The Dream We All ShareI get it. You’re tired of city noise, office politics, traffic jams. You imagine yourself waking up to a mountain sunrise, serving coffee to travelers, maybe hosting musicians by the fire at night.I had the same dream.But here’s what nobody told me when I started:Dreams are free. Projects aren’t.Over the last 8 years, I’ve built hostels, cabins, retreats, and cafes across Himachal and Goa. I’ve seen projects doing great, and I’ve seen beautiful properties shut down in just
Homestay Building: Lessons I Wish I Knew
Homestay Building: Lessons I Wish I Knew
When I built my first Mud House, an experiential hostel in the Himalayas back in 2017, I had no idea what I was doing. I had a visual. I had a feel. I had a dream.But I had no plan or a blueprint.So I made mistakes small ones that cost lakhs, and big ones that could’ve been avoided if someone had just sat me down and said, “Before you build, think like a traveler, Think like an operator. Think like a brand.”This blog is that sit-down.If you’re dreaming of starting your own cafe, hostel, homesta

Jibhi's Transformation: The Mudhouse Legacy
A Valley Only Somebody KnewIn 2016, Jibhi wasn’t a name. Not on any map, not in guidebooks, not on Instagram hashtags. For most Indian travelers, it didn’t even exist in vocabulary. If you told someone you were heading there, they would tilt their head and ask, “Where?”Yes, some seasoned foreign backpackers had discovered it back in the 90s - the rare souls who carried guides, scribbled maps, and stories of remote Himachali valleys. But for the larger world, Jibhi was just another bend on the ro

Why Gadagusain is Himachal’s Best-Kept Secret ?
Why Gadagusain is Himachal’s Best-Kept Secret ?
The Hidden Valley Most People MissEveryone knows Jibhi now. Ten years ago, it was a dot on the map that barely anyone visited. Today, it’s crowded with cafés, homestays, and selfie points.But just one valley away lies Gadagusain (locals call it “Vada Visheni”) — a place where time still moves differently. Where the roads are quiet, the forests stretch endlessly, and life is still lived the old way.When I first came here in 2021 to build Fika Homes, people laughed: “Why here? No one will come.” A
Fika Homes: Slow Living in a Village You’ve Never Heard Of
Fika Homes: Slow Living in a Village You’ve Never Heard Of
The Word “Fika”In Swedish, Fika means a pause.Not just a coffee break, but a ritual a moment to step back, slow down, and connect with yourself or with others.That word became the heart of what I wanted to create in Himachal. A space where people don’t just come to stay they come to pause.Why Gadagusain?When people first ask me where Fika is, I smile.
