The Old Wing
The Oldest Part of the House
₹5,000 / night
Of every room in the house, this one has changed the least. The wide-plank flooring, the carved window frames, and the wooden four-poster bed are original — some of them older than any living member of the family. A bathroom was added decades ago, and the wiring was redone quietly, but nothing else has been touched. Guests who ask about the house's history are usually shown this room first.

A Suggested 2-Night Stay

Day 2 — Morning walk to the market, slow afternoon in the courtyard, chai as the light turns.
Day 3 — Late breakfast, depart by late morning.
Guest Tips
- · Bring a warm layer even in summer — the stone walls keep the room cool at night.
- · Network can be patchy; we're glad to relay messages if needed.
- · Ask to see the older carved window on the courtyard side — it's original to the house.
