The wooden and mud home offers a cozy and comfortable village experience with the basic comfort of amenities. The village of Soil enjoys a rich heritage and history and is an experience in itself. The Kkoot faces the majestic Dhauladhar range and offers a complete Himalayan experience with its lush green forests and lost and hidden trails which meander through the thick jungles of pine and deodar.
