The Mud & Meadow Hideaway

Address: VPO Chandpur, Tehsil Palampur, Distt Kangra 176061

Location

Getting Here

A 9 hour drive from Delhi

It's an easy 450 km ride from Delhi. Just hop in the car, roll down the windows, and let the mountain breeze ruffle your ears. Once you arrive, we'll be waiting with wagging tails and wet-nose welcomes.

Introduction

Tucked away in Chandpur village, just 5 km from Palampur (and quietly behind the Holta Army station). This is Himachal the way it should be. Wide fields, mountain hush, and a glacier-fed stream called the Awa Khud flowing alongside. The home itself is a love letter to the land. Built entirely with bamboo, mud, and slate stone. Designed to blend in, not shout out. If your idea of luxury is space, silence, and the kind of air that makes even city dogs sleep deeper, you’ve found it.

Rooms

Simple, Cosy, Country-Perfect

Total Rooms: 7

You’ll stay across 3 rooms in the Mud House and 4 rooms in the Riverside Cottage (approx. 12 x 14, basic rooms with attached washrooms). Expect fuss-free comfort, easy mountain mornings, and that rare feeling of being properly away.

Food

Homecooked and Hill-Hearted

Meals here are home-cooked and designed for long, lazy days. For pets, there’s a simple, sensible menu of boiled rice, eggs, chicken, veggies, and curd, made to order.

Loved by tail-waggers!

Perfect slow getaway if you want to disconnect. Whisky had plenty of outdoor space and settled in immediately. The whole property feels calm, cozy, and genuinely pet-friendly.

paw Rocket

If you're traveling with an active dog, this place is perfect. Rocket had the best time in the meadow and we really appreciated the relaxed vibe and cozy rooms. Would definitely visit again.
