Mount Valley Homestay, Gondar Village
Stay where the mountains feel like home
Located in the heart of Gondar village, right at the midpoint of the Madhyamaheshwar trek,
Mount Valley Homestay is a peaceful and homely space run by Kavita Devi and Deepak Singh.
This husband-and-wife duo saw the growing number of travelers passing through their region
and realized that visitors needed clean, affordable, and comfortable places to stay during their
journeys.
Deepak Singh, a former government employee, decided to leave his city job to return to his
roots. He always dreamed of running his own venture and contributing to the local tourism
scene. With strong encouragement from family and villagers, he turned this idea into reality. In
2022, they started their homestay with just 2 rooms, and today, they have expanded it to 5 cozy
rooms—each thoughtfully made to offer guests a peaceful mountain retreat.
