Uttaranchal Tourist House

We are located right near Parmarth Niketan in Swargashram. It is a busy spot, especially in the evenings when everyone goes down for the Ganga Aarti. Our place, Uttaranchal Tourist House, has been here for quite some time now. It is just a regular building where we have rooms for people visiting the area. My family helps out with the daily chores and managing the desk. It’s not like those big hotels you see in cities; we keep things pretty basic and straightforward. The street outside can get quite crowded with pilgrims and shops selling all sorts of things. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit, but that is just part of living in this area. We usually spend our mornings cleaning up and getting things ready for whoever is arriving next. We see a lot of different people coming through, some stay for a day and others stay for weeks. We have a small area where you can get tea. Most of the time, we are just sitting by the entrance chatting with the neighbors. If you are looking for something fancy, this might not be the right spot, but it works for people who just need a bed and a fan. We tell everyone to watch out for the monkeys because they are everywhere around Swargashram. It is a lively place to be, and we like being right in the middle of it all. It’s our home and we treat it that way.
