Echoes of the Sahyadris

Where the earth meets the stars

Mountain Homestays invites you to the serene interiors of Bhandardara, a region defined by the shimmering Arthur Lake and the towering Mt. Kalsubai. Centered in the villages of Murshet and Panjare, our nature camps offer an immersive chapter of slow travel. Here, local hosts bring the Sahyadri heartland to life through wood-fired meals and stories shared under the canopy of ancient trees.

The experience is a blend of high-altitude adventure and celestial wonder. Challenge yourself with a trek to Maharashtra’s highest peak, find peace on the reflective waters of the lake, or explore the universe at the Cosmohub. Operated by the local community, this stargazing sanctuary transforms Bhandardara into a portal to the stars. By choosing Murshet or Panjare, you directly support rural livelihoods, ensuring your journey nurtures both the land and its people.

We were lucky to stay at the Astrostays at Pangong Lake. The house is overlooking the lake. The rooms are very comfortable and the bathroom is essential but perfectly functional. The living room is in the traditional Ladakhi style. We absolutely recommend this place.
