Village Dagar, Narendra Nagar – Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

Overview

Overview

Tucked away on the fringes of Rishikesh in the lesser-known Narendra Nagar region, you’ll stumble upon Dagar—an undiscovered village where tranquility and nature are your next-door neighbors. The scenic route to get there? Oh, just a casual drive past waterfalls—no big deal! The Homestead, your soon-to-be favorite getaway, is only 23 kilometers from Dehradun airport and 20 kilometers from Yognagri Rishikesh railway station, so you’ll be in nature’s lap before you realise

Perched amidst rolling hills, this serene homestead boasts six luxurious suites spread across four unique buildings, each with terraces just begging for an afternoon lounge session. The main block has all the essentials: a suite, a dining room with a cantilevered alfresco setup that seems to float in the air, and a staircase leading to a mini pool that’s just the right size for a quick dip before you continue your chill vibes tour towards the other suite offerings.

In the kitchen, simplicity reigns supreme, but the food? Oh, it’s far from simple. Think a mix of authentic Indian and international dishes, whipped up with seasonal goodies from nearby farms and the surrounding forests. From protein-packed black soybean daal to Garhwali chutney, and Shams’ legendary Bengali recipes, your taste buds are in for a treat. And if you’re into healthy eating, you’re in luck—there’s a special focus on complex fibers, macrobiotics, and regional superfoods, because, you know, #WellnessGoals. 

If you’re craving some culture with your quiet, we’ve got you covered. Stroll through quaint hamlets where traditional agriculture is still alive and well, hike through lush forests to ancient shrines, soak up the sun by a river, or relax in meadows filled with birdsong. Whether you’re up for a full-day adventure or just a low-key wander, we’ve got tailor-made itineraries to help you reconnect with nature—and yourself.

Meet your Journey Curators—Mohit and Sharmila (aka Mo & Shams, to their friends), who traded the corporate hustle for the chill life at Dagar. These two hospitality pros have over 20 years of experience with the likes of Hyatt, Marriott, Taj, and Four Seasons, and now they’re here, personally curating your stay to perfection. Basically, they’re like the cool hosts who know all the secret spots and want to make sure your experience is just as awesome as theirs has been.

At MoShams, we’re all about community—specifically for travelers who are wellness-focused, eco-conscious, and experience-driven. We’re talking HENRYs (High Earners Not Rich Yet) who love the finer things but haven’t forgotten how to enjoy the simple joys of life. We want to connect like-minded folks, and if we’re not already friends of friends, we hope that by the time you leave, you’ll feel like we are. Sure, we’re a homestay, not a hotel, but our goal is to make sure you feel like you’re staying with old pals (with a serious eye for design).

In a world where privacy and peace are the ultimate luxuries, MoShams gives you exactly that: a place where the soundtrack is birdsong and the occasional visit from a curious barking deer. It’s the perfect retreat for those who want more than the typical tourist experience—ideal for the discerning traveler who values discovery, serenity, and a little bit of adventure.
