Set at 12,000 feet between Tabo and Kaza, within the Cold Desert Biosphere, the farm stay reflects a way of living shaped by extreme winters, short farming seasons and limited water resources. Open from mid-May each year, with a brief monsoon pause depending on access, it encourages travellers to stay at least three nights, allowing the experience to unfold gradually through changing light, landscape and the rhythms of the valley rather than as a brief stop on a road journey. Designed by Windows to Vernacular, the architecture responds directly to altitude and climate through rammed-earth walls, local stone, passive solar gain and high-performance insulation that reduce dependence on external energy, said a release.Set at 12,000 feet between Tabo and Kaza, within the Cold Desert Biosphere, the farm stay reflects a way of living shaped by extreme winters, short farming seasons and limited water resources.
