Experience of Sankri, If you are a trekker, for sure you heard about this village, as it’s the base camp for many treks including the famous Kedarkantha Trek, Har ki Dun Trek, Bali Pass, and many more.
But Sankri and this area it’s much more than a trekking base camp.
If you like to stay in remote areas where the commercialization didn’t take much place, this place it’s an amazing place to spend some time, and interact with the locals, and explore around.
I’m a person who doesn’t like to be in commercial places, I like to be with locals and be part of the routine from the place.
This place has a strong energy, and a strong culture.
After coming to India for 12 years, I can say Sankri has been one of the most special places with a strong culture.
I invite you to come, if you are this type of traveler who likes to be around locals and far from commercialization, Sankri is a perfect place to bring up your imagination and to learn from the pahadi culture, and immerse in a beautiful journey with the locals.
People are amazing here if you show respect and interest to be one more while you are here.
When I reached Sankri I stayed with one amazing family, then I changed to Himalaya Shelter, they provided me with the best homestay in Sankri, the rooms they provide are big, with amazing mattresses and incredible views.
Location it’s a bit uphill, so you don’t have the disturbance from the road, it’s a perfect place to retreat and to deepen yourself.
They have the best rooms available for a long term. You can come and get an experience of work from Mountains, and explore in your free time around Sankri. I had been lucky the kids from the village came here for the apple harvesting.
Himalaya Shelter is surrounded by apple orchards, some families move this time of the year, around here for harvesting, so I had been blessed to teach them yoga, and play with them, with the surprise they were interested in learning English. English is a problem in this region.
As a woman from Europe traveling alone, it has been an interesting journey, the confrontation sometimes, but I think this is part of traveling, to learn from each other and to accept our differences of culture but at the same time understanding we are all the same.
Himalaya Shelter provided me a room with food, amazing Sheff , we became family. Thank you for providing this quality rooms in this remote area.
I have great respect for the Pahadi women, they are the pillar of this society, and they work hard with a smile. They gained my admiration, thank you for bringing smiles into this society.
Sankri will be happy to welcome more real travelers, the ones who wanna learn and experience the local life! and, Himalaya Shelter it’s the perfect place to stay, no doubt about it.
