Deodar Cabin
Kalga, Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh
The first cabin, built in 1998 from deodar the storms brought down, right where the forest starts. A double bed in the loft under the roof beams, a sitting corner by the bukhari below, and a window that is all trees. The stove heats the room and the kettle on top of it; we light it before you come back in the evening and bring the firewood. The shower runs hot from the geyser. The loft ladder is steep. If that does not suit you, the Orchard Cabin is all on one floor.
