Most people from the hills know a Bakhli. A Bakhli is a row of village houses joined together. Each house has its own kitchen, a place for cattle and bedrooms. The houses would be joined as all houses would be owned by relatives. It may be a group of brothers and their families or the parents, their children and their families.

The stone courtyard of a Bakhli would be common. It would signify the togetherness of social life and that, while income may be generated in the fields or from the cattle, life revolved around the home.

In the summers, fruit trees around the bakhli would be consumed during the lazy afternoons. During winters, wheat would be threshed at the Bakhli, chillies would be dried on the roof and spices would be ground in the Hawandasta in the courtyard.

A Bakhli signifies the Kumaoni way of living. It is this good life that we bring to you.
