About the resort
A family-run stay in Harsil valley, near Gangotri
Harsil Village Resort is small on purpose: timber cottages and heritage rooms in a working apple orchard, food cooked on site, and the valley right outside the door.
The family lives here, so advice on roads, permits and weather comes first-hand. Harsil is often spelt Harshil. It is the same village, 25 km below Gangotri Dham, about an hour by road.
- Inside a working apple orchard
- River audible from the rooms
- Deodar-lined interiors
- Restaurant on site
- Level walk, room to dining
- Help with permits & drivers

Give the valley a second day
Harsil is more than a night halt on the way to the Dham. Guests who stay two nights rarely regret it.

Wonderful resort with all the necessary amenities. The location is just perfect, at the entry point. All the time natural sounds are heard like flowing water, birds chirping etc.

Vivek MishraGuestThe staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable.

Before you book
Good to know
How do I book, and is there a booking fee?
Send your dates through the form, call Prince on +91 85274 58888 or WhatsApp +91 86790 08586. He confirms by phone or WhatsApp the same day. There is no booking fee and no card needed; the rate you see is the rate you pay.
How fast do you reply?
The same day, between 7am and 10pm, and usually within the hour, network permitting. If a call will not connect, WhatsApp usually will.
When is the best time to visit Harsil?
April to June is Char Dham season and the busiest. September and October are the best of it: rain gone, peaks out, apple harvest on. July and August are green and quiet but rain can close the road. November to March brings snow and real cold, so call first.
How do I reach Harsil?
By road up the Bhagirathi through Uttarkashi (73 km, 2 to 3 hrs). The nearest airport is Jolly Grant, Dehradun (about 220 km) and the nearest railheads are Rishikesh and Haridwar. Break the journey at Uttarkashi and arrive in daylight.
Is the road open? What are conditions like today?
Conditions on the Gangotri road change with the weather and season. Message Prince the day before you travel and he will tell you what today actually looks like.
What food is available?
Breakfast comes with every room. Lunch and dinner are cooked to order: rice, dal, seasonal vegetables and Garhwali dishes on request. Vegetarian and Jain meals with notice, and early or packed breakfast for Gangotri departures.
