Overlooking the Nanda Devi Peak
Located near Bhimtal, Uttarakhand, Joys at Natadol is a calm retreat created by Paul and Joya Abraham, along with their sons, David and Daniel. Running a homestay where guests feel at home in the mountains has always been the retirement plan for Paul & Joya. Having lived here for over 13 years, the family brings their love for thoughtful design and warm hospitality to every aspect of the stay.
Paul’s expertise in architecture and Joya’s flair for interiors shine through in the home’s details. The locally sourced woodwork, cozy attic spaces, and spacious rooms with skylit bathrooms make the property welcoming. It offers views of Nanda Devi in winter and spell-binding sunsets all year round.
The highlight here is the food. With roots in both Rajasthan and Kerala, Paul and Joya serve a variety of cuisines, from flavorful Indian meals to light continental dinners. Guests can join David for hands-on experiences like baking pizzas or making fruit preserves with produce fresh from the garden.
Whether it’s an evening by the bonfire, a picnic by the stream, or a guided forest walk, Joys at Natadol offers a mix of relaxation and meaningful connections. The property is an invitation to be part of a family’s dream brought to life.
The property features four bedrooms in the hillside main house, where the hosts reside, and an additional three-bedroom unit nearby. Two of these rooms share a spacious balcony with views of the Nanda Devi peak, while the third offers its own peaceful corner. Rooms are bright and airy, with skylit bathrooms and warm woodwork throughout. Two rooms also include attic spaces, perfect for extra beds or a playful hideaway for kids.
These spacious rooms with an attic space, overlooking the mountains can accommodate up to 4 persons.
