For us a vacation ideally means suspension from the maddening world, away from the congested traffic and into some space of our own. But come winters and all the hill stations are covered with people playing the same old song. Shuttling between crowded markets and ready to pay an arm to over occupied hotels, all just to award them with not such a great experience and no peace at all.
Why Choose White Peaks
With such tech inclined lives centering around the world that’s never prepared to stop, we need a drastic intervention. We need a digital detox, a place of disengagement.
The White Peaks gives you precisely that, a place of your own. Untouched by the tourist hustle bustle, White Peaks is hidden treasure located in the Himalayan hamlet of Gagar in Uttarakhand. Life here moves at its own pace. Breathtaking landscape with majestic Himalayan peaks in the backdrop and sounds of chirping birds will certainly fill you with energy and contentment.
Home Away From Home
White Peaks is a haven for those in love with the idea of ‘some own time’ in the hills. A home away from home. The very sound of home brings a delightful sense of warmth; it evokes a sentiment of belonging.
