Mountain Homestay
Stay with local hosts and experience the warmth, simplicity and rhythm of village life in the Garhwal Himalayas.
Discover Siri Village in Uttarakhand
Siri is a small Himalayan settlement in the Karnaprayag block of Chamoli district. Located away from Uttarakhand's busy tourist centres, it is best suited to travellers who enjoy unhurried mornings, mountain scenery, local food and meaningful interaction with village hosts.
The experience is intentionally simple. Instead of a packed sightseeing schedule, guests spend time walking through the village, learning about everyday Garhwali life and exploring nearby valleys and river confluences at a comfortable pace.
Confirm the exact village before departure
Chamoli district has more than one settlement recorded as Siri or Seeri. This itinerary is designed for Siri Village in Karnaprayag block. TravelTrek will share the confirmed homestay name and map pin with the driver before the journey.

Families, senior citizens and travellers who prefer shorter driving days should add an extra night in Rishikesh and return to Delhi on Day 6.
Would You Like to Add Joshimath and Auli?
Joshimath and Auli should not be treated as a short local excursion from Siri. Mountain driving, traffic and ropeway operating hours can make a same-day return rushed.
