Folktales Residency
~Embrace Serenity...
Our Story
In the crisp air of 2021, among the apple orchards of Rakchham village, Folktales Residency emerged with a visionary purpose. It was not merely a wooden abode but a living storybook, created to foster a deep connection between travelers and the rich culture of the Himalayas. Founded with a commitment to responsible travel, the creators of Folktales believed in a different kind of journey—one that transcends the mere ticking off of destinations. They envisioned a slow-paced travel lifestyle that invites guests to immerse themselves in the rhythms of local life, to be a part of the community rather than just passing through.
The ethos of Folktales Residency echoed in its communal spaces, where conversations flowed freely, akin to the nearby Baspa River. It wasn’t merely about providing a place to rest; it was about fostering connections, creating a space where the essence of the Himalayas could be felt in every moment. The art studio, bathed in natural light, exemplified this ethos, inviting artists to find inspiration in the mountains and contribute their narratives to the unfolding story. As the years unfolded, Folktales Residency became a haven for those seeking more from their travels—an oasis of a slow-paced lifestyle that embraced intentionality, cultural immersion, and a reduced impact on the environment. In a world that rushes forward, Folktales Residency stands as a testament to the beauty of a journey embraced with purpose, one story at a time.
