Accommodation
YogMatra Eco HomeStay is a traditional Himalayan Mudhouse, nestled in the lush green fields of Urgam Valley, the “Valley of Meditation”. In the early ’90, the house was built in the traditional way using stone and wood and was inhabited by a local family, who abandoned the house a few years ago. Within a timeframe of 4 months, the YogMatra Team renovated the house according to traditional Himalayan methods: using mud, grass & cow dung.
