Three friends.
One shared longing.
For years, the mountains lived in our conversations before they became our home. Again.
We met in Delhi as students of Delhi University; Ankush, Nivedita and Divyam from three different states, Haryana, Himachal and Uttarakhand, yet bound by a shared love for the Himalayas. Somewhere along the way, we realised this dream felt incomplete if it was ours alone. Over hundreds of trips to the Himalayas that we took together, we shared our dreams and plans.
As life unfolded, the haze of office walls and Delhi’s pollution grew heavy, Delhi began to outgrow and felt too loud. Slowly we warmed up to starting conversations to return to our college dream of a slower, more rooted way of living for people, for pauses, and for peace.
Tales Travel Taste was born from that longing.
Hosting became our way of sharing the mountains as a way of life. We chose to host because opening our home felt more honest than building something transactional. We invite people who understand what it truly means when someone says slow living, unhurried mornings, meaningful conversations over chai, meals cooked together, exploring the unexplored, and days shaped by curiosity rather than trends. Today, we host an offbeat village homestay in Kais, Himachal Pradesh, designed for mindful travelers seeking peace beyond crowded hill stations.
You may arrive as a guest, but you leave familiar with the bird that knocks on your window each morning, the wind of Kais that flutters the prayer flags, the gushing water you hear through sunlit afternoons in the sunshine lounge, and the uninterrupted Himalayan view from the tandoor lounge.
