Our story

This is Kumaon Canopy.

We're building a small hospitality brand in Kumaon, one property at a time.

How it started

Built because we love this place.

What if people could experience Kumaon the way we have?

That was the simple idea behind Kumaon Canopy.

We're brothers, Rohit and Karan, and we grew up in Kumaon. We've known these mountains, forests and little corners of this place since we were kids.

Rohit comes from hospitality. Karan is an engineer. Somewhere along the way, we thought — what if we could build something of our own here? Something that lets people experience Kumaon beyond just visiting its popular spots.

A place where you can slow down, wake up around trees, go exploring, spend an evening by the fire, and discover the Kumaon we've grown up loving.

Why Swiss tents?

Camping, without making it hard.

We wanted something between a hotel and a traditional campsite. A hotel can feel too conventional. Camping can sometimes mean giving up too much comfort.

Swiss tents felt like the middle ground. Cozy. Comfortable. A little adventurous. Still close to nature.

What's next

The first one is here in Vinayak, Bhimtal.

Today, it's four Swiss tents. Tomorrow, we want to build more places across Kumaon — while keeping the same idea at the centre: stay comfortably, experience locally.

  • Nature.

  • Comfort.

  • Together.
