Built with a mission to help grassroots women in Uttarakhand diversify their income and to promote responsible and community-based tourism, SEWA Atithi connects tourists to the authentic rural and cultural experiences of the Himalayan region. It currently runs 8 operational homestays spread across Almora and Rudraprayag, offering services like guided tours, immersion into the local cuisine, crafts, and many more. SEWA Atithi also promotes agro-tourism, where the travellers get an opportunity to indulge in learning the agricultural activities and understand the farm to plate process. They also get to experience a unique adventure of staying in a home and learning the popularly practised sustainable livelihood routines.

Kandara village, nestled on the famous route towards Kedarnath and Chopta, is an untouched rural destination. The raw and authentic nature of the village provides the tourists with an opportunity to experience the traditional rural lifestyle of Garhwal Himalayas. From agri-tourism, village walks, food experiences and occasional cultural performances, the place is filled with unique stories of rural lifestyle and natural bliss. The village also is the starting point of a short but exciting trekking route towards Chandaniya top that passes through agricultural fields, jungles, orchards and meadows to finally to get a glimpse of snow capped himalyas. The famous attractions of Chopta Tungnath, Kartik Swammy, Deorial Tal etc. are just hours away from the homestays.
