Mudhouse Experiential Hostel | Jibhi, Tirthan Valley

A lot of us dream of leaving the busy cities and moving to mountains to live a life of clean air and unadulterated peace.
But there are very few who actually leave the rat race behind and pull it off.
In this series I'll be in search of such inspirations and real life stories to decipher that is the grass really greener on the other side.
On my first ever solo trip I ended up at Mudhouse Experiential Hostel. A vision of Rahul Kumar , a film maker with Nat Geo, who sold off everything and relocated from bustling Delhi to the quaint scenic village of Jibhi in Himachal to setup a small world for the like-minded travel community.
They say positivity is infectious, and such are the vibes of this place that along with hundreds of travelers, it also brought in another Happy Soul - Manpreet Deswal - a trained pilot and a chartered accountant who is now living his dreams in the mountains. Manpreet is a friend of Rahul and is now the experience architect of Mudhouse.
It didn't take me long to realise that Manpreet is very much like Jibhi - raw, unpretentious & welcoming, with very simple mantras of life
Mudhouse is just not a hostel, it's a home for all the city-bruised souls. And there have been innumerable instances when the travelers came here just for a weekend and ended up spending weeks
So If you need a little motivation to change the course of your life, let these stories be your catalyst.

It's a great idea to have a series like this. KZbin had enough travel blogging series. It feels good to see something fresh and different.

That was the exact intent Shubham. So glad to hear that the message is getting across 😊

मड हाउस में दोस्तों वाला एलिमेंट काफी आकर्षक है। दुनिया की मारा मारी में इंसान कोहलू के बैल की तरह हो गया है। कमाओ, खाओ और घूमो, फिर कमाओ... पुनः दोहराएं...... अभिषेक के वीडियोज़ देख रहा हूं। एक बात तो माननी पड़ेगी की आपका कहानी बताने का तरीका शानदार है। अक्सर लोग टूरिस्ट प्लेसिस पर घूमने तो जाते हैं लेकिन पहाड़ियां और साइट सीन और फोटो खींचने खिंचवाने तक ही उनकी यात्रा सीमित रह जाती है। अभिषेक हमें यह बता रहे हैं कि घूमा जाता कैसे है। नए लोगों से मिलो, दोस्त बनाओ...। शुभकामनाएं और धन्यवाद.....

True indeed !👍

I love your Mountains episodes. I am from Australia and never saw a real mountain until I came to India. Now I am obsessed with the Himalayas! I have travelled all through the Indian and Nepali Himalayas, my favourite being Sikkim.

Nice video, can you please tell me what is rent of this mad house

[@THEUNTRAVELSHOW]

I think you need to check with them for the updated rates. I went there around 1.5 years ago, so I'm not sure what the current ones are

[@mystical_peace]

I believe that if someone wants to go and live on mountains, then they should adapt themselves and try to live in the natural habitats local villagers have been inhabiting as making concrete houses there would just destroy the little serenity left on Earth!

[@nowpresent2167]

Yes. People love the mountains for the nature, not the concrete buildings which keep popping up there with "development". Love that these guys chose to make a wooden cottage ❤️

Why mud house.. it's buddy house
