About Hosts

 

The story of our (Upreti’s) family roots dates back to 400 years ago when our ancestors migrated from their village in search of water and livelihood.
This journey begins when our ancestors escaped from Kheti Village (Almora) to village Alchauna (Bhimtal, Nainital) as a result of the invasion by the Nepal Kingdom and in search of livelihood. Earlier, Alchauna belonged to the Alchaunis (Rajputs), and Upretis settled in the village as priests to Alchaunis to carry out the holy rituals. In between, the first house was built by our ancestors at main village and gradually family developed 100 acres estate and farms near river “Kalsa” due to lack of water resources for agriculture and livestock at hill top. This house are still at main village in ruined state.
By the end of 19th century, there was a need of big house for large family and our ancestors built a present colonial house to settle in. Over generations, family developed farms in “Bhabar” (Near Haldwani) and used to stay here during winters to avoid harsh winters of hills. There was no motor road and only mode of transportation was horses to reach Haldwani. Thereafter during mid of 20th century, family decided to permanently settle in Alchauna.
