Born of the forest,
served with soul
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 SanctuaryWhere We Are
“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.

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