Reset & Return
A weekend to pause | 4 Nights - 4 Days
₹15000.00
A weekend that doesn't ask you to prove anything
You don't need a week off. You don't need a bucket list. You just need four days where nobody expects you to lead, deliver, or perform: including yourself.
Reset and Return is a short escape from the concrete jungle into a village that has never been in a hurry. For working professionals worn out by their 9-to-5, done with the concrete jungle and corporate monotony, who want their weekend to actually mean something without needing to take a long leave to get it.
Most weekends off still carry the weight of proving something, even rest gets performed. A city break, a brunch, a quick getaway, none of it actually switches off the part of you that's always leading, achieving, managing.
Reset and Return is four days to just be. No performing, no proving. You let nature and community do the work you just have to show up and let yourself enjoy it.
You'll leave lighter, slower, and more like yourself than when you arrived. And if it leaves you wanting to go deeper to stay long enough that something in you actually shifts that's what the longer journeys are for. No pressure. Just an open door.
Day 1 – Arrive & Settle In
Arrive at the village, settle into your homestay, and let the mountains set the pace. As the evening unfolds, we'll gather over tea for a warm welcome circle before taking a gentle walk through the village—meeting the people, soaking in the surroundings, and easing into a slower rhythm of life.
Day 2 – Slow Living & Outdoor Experience
Begin the day before sunrise with a traditional cow milking experience, followed by a wholesome village breakfast. We then head on a scenic walk to Atanghat, where the day is spent outdoors—cooking lunch together, setting up a simple shelter, relaxing beside the stream, and enjoying the quiet beauty of the meadow. As the sun sets, we return to the homestay, with the option to end the day under the stars with an outdoor movie.
Day 3 – Meadows, Culture & Community
The morning starts with a calming yoga and breathwork session before we hike to the beautiful Darbela Bugyal. After lunch, you'll learn the traditional Kumaoni art of Aipan from local artists, followed by an evening of folk music, stories, and conversations with the village community over a traditional Kumaoni dinner. We close the night with a reflection circle, carrying home the memories we've created together.
Day 4 – Take a Piece of the Village Home
Enjoy a slow breakfast before wandering through the village one last time to pick up handmade souvenirs and little reminders of your stay. With hearts a little fuller and minds a little quieter, it's time to say goodbye—taking a small piece of the village back home with you.
