The Peepal Kothi is a unique Farm Homestay complex nestled in the picturesque valley of the Aravally Hills, a short distance from Gurgaon and Delhi. This three-acre complex consists of a three-bedroomed “Kothi”, which reminds you of the 1930’s architecture of Punjab. The “Kothi” is modeled on the flat roofed, high-ceilinged design, with signature wrap-around verandahs. Three independent bungalows, the Dak Bungalow, The Port House, and The Mulberry Cottage are reminiscent of the Raj era tea garden bungalows. The Orangery, which serves as the dining and the recreational area, draws its inspiration from the English conservatories, with vaulted ceilings and glazed windows on all four sides.

The inspiration behind The Peepal Kothi is Vijay Chowdhry, a career marketing man and a keen golfer who helped create the two iconic golf courses in the vicinity, The Classic Golf Resort and The Tarudhan Valley Golf Resort.

Accommodation

“The Peepal Kothi has a cluster of three independent cottages; The Port House, The Dak Bungalow and The Mulberry Cottage. These cottages with wrap around verandas are inspired by the colonial bungalows that were found in tea gardens and hill stations. All cottages have their own distinctive features, artifacts and artwork which evoke the essence of the era they represent. With large glazed windows, they offer panoramic views of the gardens around them."

“The Peepal Kothi has three large rooms with a deep wrap around veranda and a large terrace. The Kothi rooms are inspired by the flat roof kothis of the early 20th century Punjab with flat stone roofs topped by mud phuska, which keeps the temperature in the rooms cool in summers and warm in winters. The kothi consists of a suite, The Malabar and two large rooms, The Patiala and The Avadh. Each suite has period furniture,artifacts and prints from the owner's collection and are in tune with regions they represent."
