Born of the forest,
served with soul

“Every dish carries the scent of the Garhwal forest — the pine, the river, the seasons.”

Aruha sits within the breathtaking Govind Wildlife Sanctuary in the Garhwal Himalayas — one of India’s most untouched wild landscapes. We are not just a cafe; we are a pause in the wilderness.

Our kitchen celebrates the flavours of Uttarakhand — sourced from nearby villages, cooked simply, and served with the warmth of true mountain hospitality.

Inside Govind Wildlife Sanctuary

“A sanctuary within a sanctuary — surrounded by snow leopards, Himalayan tahr, and ancient forests of oak and rhododendron.”

Govind Pashu Vihar National Park & Wildlife Sanctuary spans over 958 sq. km of the Garhwal Himalayas, bordering Tibet. Aruha is your base camp — a warm table in the wild, after a long day on the trail.

More than a meal —
a moment in the wild

01

Wilderness dining

Dine with the sounds of the Tons river, pine forests all around, and Himalayan peaks visible on clear days from inside the sanctuary.

02

Local sourcing

Every ingredient is sourced from nearby Garhwali villages — supporting local farmers, women’s cooperatives, and small organic growers.

03

Trek fuel

Fuelling explorers headed into the sanctuary — packed lunches, thermos teas, and warm meals waiting on your return.

“After two days of trekking in Govind Sanctuary, Aruha felt like a dream — warm Garhwali food, incredible mountain views, and hospitality that felt like home.”
