Who are we?
Welcome to The Jack Pahadi Project, a sanctuary of holistic living, creative expression, and sustainability nestled high in the Garhwal Himalayas. Our vision is to offer more than just a getaway—it’s a transformative journey where every moment connects you with nature, art, and mindful living.
Perched 1900 meters above sea level on the northern slopes of the majestic Garhwal Himalayas, The Jack Pahadi Project is a unique blend of panoramic views, traditional Pahadi hospitality, modern comfort, and sustainable living practices.
From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by sweeping views of some of the most iconic Himalayan peaks: Bander Poonch, Gangotri, Kedarnath, Chawkhamba, Neelkanth, Nandadevi, and Trishul.

Story of Jack Pahadi Project
Our Story
The Jack Pahadi Project began in 2018, with the inception of Jack Pahadi Homestay, Alan’s first dream project. Having realized that he wasn’t meant for the conventional 9-5 life, Alan sought to create a space that nurtures both people and nature. His vision was to provide a sanctuary where individuals could reconnect with themselves and the natural beauty of Mustkhal, all while preserving local traditions and values for generations to come.
What started as a homestay has since blossomed into a full-fledged retreat, combining wellness, art, and sustainable living. Today, The Jack Pahadi Project offers not only cozy stays but also the opportunity to be part of a larger, environmentally conscious community through The Eco-Village and Pottery Studio.
Where Nature, Art, and Heartfelt Community Meet
Our Passion
At The Jack Pahadi Project, our passion is deeply rooted in celebrating the harmony between nature, art, and mindful living. Our mission is to create a space that nurtures creativity, fosters sustainability, and builds a community where individuals can reconnect with the natural world and themselves. Perched in the heart of the Garhwal Himalayas, our vision is to be a beacon of holistic living, blending traditional Pahadi values with modern consciousness.
We are committed to promoting sustainable living through our eco-village, where natural building techniques, permaculture, and conservation efforts form the core of our operations. Our pottery and art studio serves as a hub for creative expression and therapeutic experiences, allowing guests to explore their artistic side while connecting with like-minded souls. We believe that every interaction with nature holds the potential for healing and transformation, and we strive to create experiences that resonate long after guests leave our sanctuary.
Through mindful practices, communal meals, and immersive workshops, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the beauty and wisdom of the natural world. Our vision is not only to preserve the environment but also to influence future generations to embrace sustainable living, respect their roots, and contribute to a more balanced world.
We believe in creating meaningful experiences, whether it’s through sharing a simple meal, participating in a pottery session, or simply sitting under the stars, absorbing the silence of the mountains. Our passion lies in making every guest feel at home, offering them a chance to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the joy in simple living. Here, every sunrise is a reminder of the magic that unfolds when people come together with open hearts and minds, embracing nature and each other in the most authentic way.
