UKROOTS AYURVEDA &
WELLNESS CENTRE PRIVATE LIMITED
An Organic Village Retreat
Where Wellness Meets Serenity
A Soulful Retreat in the Himalayas
Ukroots is a soulful eco-retreat set in the forested hills of Motidhar, Mussoorie. More than a resort, it is a lived experiment in slow, sustainable and Ayurveda-inspired living.
Our cottages are built with mud, stone and reclaimed wood so they blend into the hillside. Mornings start with birds and mist, evenings with starlight and silence. Everything at Ukroots is designed to reconnect you—with nature, with local culture and with yourself.
Our Philosophy
Simple, Sustainable, Soulful
We don't believe in cutting the mountains to build the mountains.
In Harmony with the Land
- ✦ Structures use mud, stone and wood, echoing traditional Himalayan architecture
- ✦ Solar power, organic farming, composting and greywater reuse
- ✦ Plastic is minimised, nature breathes freely
Guided by Ayurveda
Ancient wisdom inspires how we think about health and happiness at Ukroots. We emphasize balance—between body, mind, environment and daily routine.
- ✦ Warm, seasonal food that supports digestion
- ✦ Gentle yoga, meditation and breathwork
- ✦ Thoughtful daily rhythms for restoration
Giving your system enough rest to remember how good balance feels.
Rooted in People & Place
Ukroots is powered by locals and guided by local wisdom.
- ✦ Team knows the trails and village stories intimately
- ✦ Ingredients from our farm and neighbouring villages
- ✦ Culture shared through everyday interactions
"Not the biggest resort in the hills—
the most genuine."
Why We're Different
Rustic Comfort
Handcrafted stone-and-wood cottages, spring-fed eco bathrooms, solar-heated water, firelit evenings and stargazing domes.
Built to Heal
Composting, organic fields and conscious material choices—intentionally low-impact, good for you, gentler on the planet.
Hospitality Like Family
Flexible meal timings, customised plans, genuine conversation. You arrive as a guest but often leave as family.
Offbeat Yet Accessible
Quietly tucked in Motidhar but close to Surkanda Devi, Tehri Dam and Kanatal. Access and stillness combined.
Ayurveda at Ukroots
Modern life is fast, loud and demanding. Ayurveda offers a different route: aligning what you eat, how you rest and how you move with your unique body type and environment.
At Ukroots, Ayurveda is woven quietly into your stay through warm seasonal food, herbal teas, mindful routines, and gentle encouragement to slow down and listen to your body.
You won't find aggressive detox packages here. Instead, you'll find a gentler way of living that you can actually carry back home.
Ukroots Café
A Living Himalayan Kitchen
Ukroots Café is the beating heart of the retreat—a space dedicated to honest Himalayan food.
Research-Led Approach
Recipes inspired by village kitchens across Kumaon, Garhwal, Jaunsar and nearby valleys
Locally Sourced
Working with local farmers and foragers to keep ingredients fresh, local and seasonal
Tested & Refined
Each plate carries both authenticity and warmth
No copy-paste menus—just food that tells the story of the mountains
Authentic Experiences
Beyond the Room
Forest Immersions
Walk in ancient deodar groves, listen to silence and rediscover how grounding trees can be.
Farm & Harvest Life
Touch the soil, learn traditional methods, and taste food you've seen growing in the fields.

Yoga & Mindfulness
Realign body and mind with guided sessions in the open air.
Bonfire Stories
