Pahadi House Partner Homestay

Darshan Village Stay, Mussoorie

A two room village house about eight km out of Mussoorie, on its own, with the valley in front of it

Mussoorie range · Dehradun district

Two rooms, on their own, outside Mussoorie

This is the smallest and newest listing on the Pahadi House list. Two rooms in a village house about eight km out of Mussoorie, standing on its own with the valley in front of it, run by Sunil Singh and his family. The rooms are panelled in reclaimed wood, with low beds and painted walls. Food is cooked in the house from whatever the garden gives.

There are no Google reviews yet, and the family sent two photographs when they registered, so this page is shorter than the others. The location is checked, the Rs 1,500 rate comes from Sunil, and the family lives on site. Kempty Falls is about five km and Mussoorie about eight.

It is not a hotel room on Mall Road and it is not trying to be. It is a village house eight km out where very little happens, with home cooked food and a view, at roughly a third of what the town charges.

Location: Mussoorie range, Dehradun district, Uttarakhand 248179. About eight km from Mussoorie and roughly five from Kempty Falls. View on Google Maps

Setting: A single house on its own with a valley view, mountains, forest and the river below

Food: Home cooked by the family, with organic vegetables from their own garden. Meals are quoted separately from the room

Tariff: From Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 a night. Send your dates for a firm rate

Things to do

The point of this one is that it is out of Mussoorie. Kempty Falls is five km and the town is eight. In between there is a village, a valley and not a great deal else, which for a certain kind of trip is exactly the appeal.

How to reach

From Delhi~300 km · ~7 hr drive
From Mussoorie~8 km · ~25 min
Kempty Falls~5 km · ~15 min
From Dehradun~40 km · ~1.5 hr
Jolly Grant airport~65 km · ~2.5 hr
From Rishikesh~75 km · ~2.5 hr
Dehradun railway station~40 km · ~1.5 hr
Lal Tibba~11 km · ~35 min

Drive to Dehradun, up to Mussoorie, and carry on about eight km along the Kempty road. By train, Dehradun is the railhead and it is roughly an hour and a half by taxi from there, and Jolly Grant is the nearest airport at about two and a half hours. The last stretch is hill road. Send your arrival time on WhatsApp and Sunil will tell your driver where to pull in, because the house is on its own and not easy to describe from a map pin alone.

Questions people ask

Where exactly is Darshan Village Stay?
In the Mussoorie range area of Dehradun district, Uttarakhand 248179, about eight km out of Mussoorie on the Kempty side. The family describes it themselves as eight km from Mussoorie, and Kempty Falls is around five km away.
Why are there so few photographs?
Because the family sent two when they registered in August 2026 and that is what we have. We would rather show you two real photographs of the actual house than fill the page with stock images of the Mussoorie hills. More will go up here when they send them.
Does it have reviews?
Not yet. It has a Google listing with no ratings on it, which is normal for a small village house that has only just started taking guests. If you stay, leaving an honest review helps the next person more than anything we can write.
How much does it cost?
From Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 a night depending on the room and the season, which is roughly a third of what a comparable night in Mussoorie town costs. Meals are quoted separately.
What is the food like?
Home cooked by the family, with vegetables from their own garden. Tell them what you eat when you book, because supplies come up from town.
Do I need a car?
Practically, yes. It is eight km out of Mussoorie on hill road, and while taxis will bring you, having your own vehicle makes the difference between a stay in a quiet village and a stay you cannot leave.
Are pets allowed?
Yes. Let the family know in advance.
How do I book?
Use the WhatsApp button on this page. It opens a message to Sunil with the property name already in it. Send your dates and how many of you there are, and ask him for more photographs while you are at it.

A village homestay outside Mussoorie, for the price of a dorm bed in it

Darshan Village Stay is a village house eight km along the Kempty road from Mussoorie. A room is Rs 1,500 and there is nobody else around. Mussoorie itself is expensive and busy, and both get worse between April and June, which is most of why anybody drives out this far to sleep.

The house has two rooms, panelled in reclaimed wood with low beds, and it stands on its own rather than in a row. In front of it the ground drops into the valley, with the mountains behind and forest around. Sunil Singh and his family live there and cook what you eat, using vegetables from their own garden.

What this page cannot tell you

This property registered with Pahadi House in August 2026. No Google reviews, no website, two photographs. The location is checked against Google Maps and the price and room count come from the owner. Everything else on this page is a road distance. When the family sends more photographs the gallery will grow.

What is close by

  • Kempty Falls, about five km, which most Mussoorie day trips are built around.
  • Mussoorie Mall Road, roughly eight km, twenty five minutes by road.
  • Lal Tibba, the Landour viewpoint, about eleven km.
  • Dehradun at around forty km, an hour and a half down the hill.
  • Village walks straight from the door, which is the first thing the family will point you at.

How this listing works

Darshan Village Stay is a partner homestay on the Pahadi House list, not a property we run. The enquiry goes straight to Sunil, so you are talking to the person who will host you. If you run a homestay in the hills and want to be on this list, it is free to register.
