Our Story
If you’re looking for a getaway that feels like a warm hug from the mountains, Burberry The Mud House in Chopta is exactly where you need to be. It perfectly captures that earthy, rustic vibe while offering the kind of quiet comfort that makes it really hard to pack up and leave. Imagine waking up in a room made of stone and clay, where the first thing you see is the sun hitting the Himalayan peaks. This place isn't just a stay; it’s a whole mood for anyone who loves slow mornings, the smell of cedar, and crisp mountain air.
Why you’ll love it here: Authentic Living: It’s built with traditional local techniques—using mud and stone—keeping you cozy when it’s chilly and naturally cool when the sun is out. The Views: You’re staring right at the "Mini Switzerland of India." The valley vistas from the Duggal Bittha area are genuinely world-class. Unplugged Soul: It’s the perfect spot to ditch the phone notifications and reconnect with yourself or a good book in the middle of a rhododendron forest. Prime Basecamp: You're perfectly positioned for the Tungnath and Chandrashila treks, but tucked away enough to feel like you've found a hidden secret. Whether you're stopping by after a long trek or just need a weekend to breathe, this place feels less like a typical hotel and more like a home in the clouds.
How It Began
Burberry "The Mud House" Chopta was born from a simple belief: that true luxury isn’t about being fancy; it’s about being real. Inspired by the ancient building traditions of the Uttarakhand hills, we chose mud as our primary material. It’s breathable, sustainable, and creates a living space that actually "breathes" with the seasons—staying warm during snowy winters and cool during the summer sun. Every cottage was shaped by the hands of local craftsmen who have lived in these mountains for generations. The result is a retreat that doesn’t just sit on the hillside—it feels like it grew right out of it.
The Place
Chopta is more than just a destination; it’s a living history. Surrounded by dense forests of rhododendron and deodar, it has been a sanctuary for travelers and pilgrims for centuries. Whether you are here to seek the spiritual energy of the Tungnath temple or simply to watch the clouds roll through the valley, the land here has a way of staying with you long after you leave. Located away from the crowded tourist trails, our Mud House offers you a rare chance to experience the "Mini Switzerland" exactly as nature intended—quiet, raw, and incredibly beautiful.
What We Believe In
Everything we do flows from a deep respect for nature, community, and the unhurried pace of life.
We believe in a light footprint. By using natural, locally sourced materials and minimizing waste, we ensure that the forest around us remains as pristine as the day we arrived.
The heartbeat of our stay is our people. Our team comes from the neighboring villages, and every stay at the Mud House directly supports the local families and livelihoods of the Chopta valley.
What you see is what you get. From the home-cooked local flavors in our kitchen to the traditional architecture of our rooms, everything here is honest, heartfelt, and genuinely Himalayan.
We believe that the best way to experience the Himalayas is to live like they do—simply, sustainably, and with an open heart. We aren't just providing a room; we are sharing the soul of Chopta with every guest who walks through our doors.— Burberry "The Mud House" Chopta Team
