Company information

Hello! I’m Saurabh Thapa — founder of SHIVAYA Since 1953 and a third-generation member of an Indian Army family. After completing my engineering and working for 6 years in the corporate world (agriculture & tractor sector), I chose to return to my ancestral land in Mukteshwar to build something deeply personal — a space where silence heals, sunsets inspire, and every room tells a story. SHIVAYA is more than just a homestay. It’s where I was born, where my father (a Kargil war veteran) was born, and where generations have lived with grace and humility. Over the past decade, I’ve transformed our 2-room heritage home into a six-room boutique escape for seekers, travellers, and families from around the world. I’m also a fitness Coach & Athlete and run a CrossFit community in Delhi-NCR. Through SHIVAYA, I invite you to pause, reconnect, and feel nature’s presence — one sunrise at a time.

Property information

HIVAYA Since 1953 is a secluded, heritage boutique homestay nestled at zero point of Chauli Ki Jaali, right beside Mukteshwar Dham Temple in Uttarakhand. Spread across levels on natural terrain and surrounded by oak and pine forest, SHIVAYA is built on a 100+ year-old ancestral property, now transformed into a six-room luxury retreat. From heritage mud-plastered rooms to modern forest-view luxury cabins, every space offers a breathtaking view of the Himalayan range — including Nanda Devi, Trisul, and Kedarnath peaks. Our glasshouse restaurant, private balconies, sunset decks, and stargazing rooftops create an experience that blends stillness, warmth, and nature. Whether you're here for silence, hiking, photography, family bonding, or spiritual reset — SHIVAYA welcomes you like home.
