A Place Called Parvada
A quaint village tucked into the sun-dappled slopes of the South Gola Ranges, Parvada sits at the edge of forested ridgelines and winding paths that lead to hand-built homes, old temples, and stories passed between neighbors. The air carries the scent of oak, cedar, and pine—crisp, grounding, and still. Among apricot and plum trees, our orchard grows—part of the village rhythm, shaped by the care of its people. We’ve built slowly, letting the hillside guide us. More than an estate, Parvada is a place of shared mornings, laughter in kitchens, fruit gathered in baskets, and a quiet sense of belonging.
The Hosts Who Make Parvada Home
At Parvada Bungalows, hospitality is not a profession—it’s a way of life, lovingly crafted by Avijit and Rina Chaturvedi. With decades of experience between them, they’ve worn many hats: hoteliers, educators, mentors, and now, passionate hosts and entrepreneurs. But more than anything, they are warm, attentive people who welcome you not just to a place, but to a way of being.
Avijit Chaturvedi is a storyteller at heart. With over 38 years in hospitality—spanning the Taj Group, Fortune Hotels, HRH Hotels, and The O Hotels—he brings a deep understanding of service and an even deeper love for people. But ask anyone who’s spent an evening around the bonfire with him, and they’ll tell you about the other Avijit: the one who recites Urdu poetry with flair, hums old Hindi songs with nostalgia, and weaves tales that stay with you long after your holiday ends.
An Orchard Estate in the Kumaon Hills
Nestled at 7,000 feet in the South Gola Range near Mukteshwar, Parvada Bungalows is a private orchard estate spread across three lush acres. Set within the VS Fruit Tree Estate, the orchard is dotted with apple, plum, peach, apricot, pear, and walnut trees— growing gently with the passing seasons and unfolding stories. growing gently with the passing seasons and unfolding stories.
