As the name suggests, the rooms are built over water and throughout the day you will be soothed with the pleasant sound of rushing water. The sound of water cleanses your soul and calms your mind in a way that will make you cherish your stay at ‘H20 House’ forever..
We have 5 rustic huts at H20 house, each designed beautifully for both comfort and luxury. H20 house is one of the finest homestays in India.
We haven't used any direct light that strains the eyes, instead all light is indirect. We have various sitting areas amidst the woods; from working with your laptop or just reading that long awaited book, our open spaces are perfect for you. We have 2 nice sitting rooms where you can practice meditation, yoga, or eat meals, or simply sit with a book or a kindle and just laze around.
We at NotOnMap believe in preserving culture and in putting our best efforts into conserving nature. Aligning with this thought, we have used locally sourced natural raw materials to make this place from ground up. H20 house is perfect example of Village Stay in India. From the furniture to the wall colours, everything is natural. For example, the chairs, tables, as well as crockery are wooden; we tried to use local discarded wood from the jungle to make them. We haven’t used any plastic toxic paints or cement; only pure mud filling has been used to make ‘H20 House’. Just outside the kitchen is a small dining area where you can sit and watch fields, the village lifestyle and have a cup of tea while enjoying the most amazing himalayan sunsets.You can take the chairs or a hammock to sit near the river if you wish to.

Our food is satvik, means we use the least possible amount of onion & garlic. We serve pure authentic Indian food. Our food is traded first with the gods and then served to the guests. We try using local wheat, dal and organic vegetables for cooking. Even mushrooms and cheese are locally cultivated within the community.
For breakfast we serve various type of traditional food like ‘Channa puri’, ‘Babru’ (Bread with yeast), ‘Khada Prantha’ (Stuffed bread). We serve pure buffalo milk as a complement to your morning breakfast.
