●I was just surfing the web, when a friend of mine told me about this trip to Alchauna. She said that Rural Odyssey is organizing this fantastic trip to a quaint village, Alchauna, in Uttrakhand the very next day and if I am interested in joining. Moreover, Rural Odyssey a travel startup always brings up some new and exciting place to visit.

So, Am I interested in going? Hell yeah! I definitely wanted to go.

It was planned for a weekend, and there’s no better feeling than adding a new place to your list for a weekend getaway.

I packed my bags in a jiffy and was extremely excited. Aren’t spontaneous trips the best? Moreover, the itinerary and the destination for this trip was all so super cool that I just couldn’t wait for it. We were told that we would be staying in a hundred-year-old colonial style home-stay, and many other fun and learning activities will be there, like village walk, beekeeping, organic farming and so on.

We left from Delhi in the night and reached our home-stay in Alchauna early in the morning.

Mr. Ajay Upreti welcomed us like their family and showed us our rooms. We were dog-tired by now, so we decided to take a short nap. We were five people in our group, including RuralOdyssey’s co-founder Kush Sharma who was leading the group. Besides him, it was I, Rasika (from Chennai), Zeya and Amaanat (from Ghaziabad). Unfortunately, Chandni, our trip organizer, and Rural Odyssey’s co-founder, could not accompany us on the trip as she had a fracture in her ribs and hence, was on bed rest.
