Landour | Couple who quit the city life & moved to mountains | Story of La Villa Bethany

- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2019
- A lot of us dream of leaving the busy cities and moving to mountains (or work from mountains) to live a life of clean air and unadulterated peace.
But there are very few who actually leave the rat race behind and pull it off.
In this series I'll be in search of such inspirations and real life stories to decipher that is the grass really greener on the other side.
Now if there's one place where I have to start this search it has to be LANDOUR. Even though it’s just 5 kms and a thousand feet away from Mussoorie, it's a world apart. My Love Affair with Landour started 3 years ago, when the fragrance of idyllic walks amidst Cedar and Pine forests, the casting spell of the bells of the nearby church, the charm of British era colonial bungalows, and the aura of windows overlooking snow peaked mountains, caressed not only my body, but my soul as well
And in these pristine surroundings lies LA VILLA BETHANY the home of Sunita and Amarjeet Kudle, who after working for more than a decade in Mumbai & Delhi, had finally decided that it was time to follow their dreams
So If you need a little motivation to change the course of your life, let these stories be your catalyst.

You don’t need to go to the mountains to find peace! Peace is within.. Try to get rid off disturbances to peace...Learn to be mentally stable.. Difficult but not impossible....
Love to all..
Good message. As the saying goes, the only peace(Zen) that you find on the top of the mountain is the one you bring with yourself.
Agree completely 💯
yes , if you can get rid of your "I" everything fall on its place.
@@corporateenterprises8019 🙏
Good suggestion to keep mind stable and cool
I live in Mussorie & watching this while having my evening walk at Landour😀
Wow. Hope the episode could do justice to the tranquility of Landour :)
Why are you hooked onto your phone in such a scenic place :)
I love both urban and rural life. So to make a balance I go to the villages, meet simple rustic people, learn a lot of things from them and then come back to my city life and I am happy. Life should be 50:50
That's a great perspective. Best of both the worlds 👌
Word! ❤️
Honest relatable view ...
@Seema Nawathe oh thank u mam
@Seema Nawathe omg!! I am honoured. And yes mam I feel a strong nd unique connection I have that supreme power..... From where u r mam?? R u south indian??
she is not letting him speak ...really ragging for life 😂
😂😂😂😂
I agree she is not giving him the chance to speak
@Vipul you have to pay for your sins right here! 😂
@@sunitakudle829
Lol no one's is recognising u
But i know 😉🙌
I have no words to describe how much I crave for mountains and how i am always looking up for some great content online to satisfy my cravings until i can really come and spend some time in the hills, and this video and your channel is by far the best travel channel that I have come across on the internet. love your videos :)
Wow, thanks! Great to hear :)
Same here. I prefer mountains to beaches. Seeing beaches everyday in Mumbai is tiring but mountains rejuvenate. A walk among the towering cedar and pine trees - O it's no less than heaven!
Yeah man. Versova Aksa Girgaon Chowpatty . . . I've seen it all. Time to explore mountains now 🙂
I'm always ready to design natural buildings in mountains. As an architect it's the responsibility on us to design the world better and leave an impressions of human sustainability.
As someone who spent his childhood in Mussoorie and settled down in Pune, it seems quite ironical :)
Lmao. Humans!
😂😂😂
I am very curious to know a little about your life and the changes in your life that led to your migration from Mussoorie to Pune. Kaisa lagta hai aapko Pune me? Aur aap kab se hai Pune me? Aap job-related purpose se aaye the kya Pune? Mussoorie me jo shanti hai, mountains etc ye sab miss karte ho?
*then you are chutiya of lifetime vivek*
Vikash singh wat do know of mountains? i spend abt 20 years there... and there no growth facilities even health and education.... calling other chutia.... masurie is a tourist place wanna see the real struggle of mountains go deeper
Thirty years ago my husband n I quit it all and moved to the mountains / Nothing so fancy ..In fact still remeber the leaking verandah roof ! Zero regrets /
Ma'am can totally relate. When we got this place it was in a similar state. It's taken 10 years of hard work to bring it to this stage. But totally, totally worth it!!
@@sunitakudle829 Ji Sunita !! Quite a few have moved ..in fact have built small cottages as alternate homes !
Hello @@simrinsingh1814 , I just want to know, after moving there how do you earn your bread? That would help me plan for future.
@@ankitroy7 You can do anything now a days farming, weaving,woodwork etcwtc
I really can resonate with this couple coz I have the same feelings for the mountains as they have.

As Ruskin Bond says, if you have lived in the mountains for however small a time, they become an integral part of you!
You are speaking my mind and heart. Anytime beautiful mountains, fresh river running, green lush forest over beautiful sea and humid weather.
Ruskin Bond has been residing in Landour for over 30 years now, in a simple abode he sits and spends his days in solitude looking at the mountains;feeling alive.
I just did the same thing. Escaped the concrete jungle. So worth it!!
Wonderful :)
How much one should have a budget for a start... I am looking forward to settle myself in mountains
Amit Choudhary depends on your situation. I make a living online, so I didn’t need to prepare too much other than make the commitment, plus all the odds and ends that come along with packing up your life and moving across the country.
@@demikeproductions that's great. But I was asking for how much money does it takes to build a small house in the mountains. 😊
Our hometown is already in mountains lucky me.:☺️
Man I am seeing first time an Indian RUclips doing such types of Videos. This concept is generally followed in Westerner country. In India, if you don't have a job, you are nothing. Really appreciate your videos. Liked and subscribed.
Loved this entirely different perspective and take on this subject by having a thoughtful discussion with people who actually made it happen! 😊
I quit my job and I m so happy. Even i want to settled down in mountains 😊😊
I just casually searched "Landour" after reading a Ruskin Bond book and this is where it led me and i am so glad i found this channel. Your content is amazing. You just earned a loyal subscriber😊♥️
Thanks a lot Ayan. Welcome aboard 😊
A very nostalgic moment touched my heart... something with Shillong n hills .. from my childhood trips.
Interesting facts... keep sharing.
Great Amazing Wow Lovely Landour❤️
On your footsteps sir !! A bit scared but want to take a leap !! Your story is very inspiring !!❤️
Go for it! Best of luck :)
Thanks! Please keep the faith!
@@sunitakudle829 Hey just came across this video. You have turned it around in a beautiful space. What is the term and price of your lease?
That’s incredible
Mesmerized with the beauty of landour
Thinking of moving ... That's definitely I have my heart on
Writing an email to you on this lazy afternoon from my bed. I took a random day off from work today and just thought that I will do some retrospection today.
Started googling ideas which will illuminate something in me, in order to break the monotony of my life.
Then,Came across your channel, I was overwhelmed with your thought process.
Just want to say Please Please keep the good work going world is full of wanna be's.
And it's rare to find original RUclipsrs.
Take care
Have a lovely rest of the day.
Fan in making
Yashi:)
I am exactly of the same mindset, probably because I spent my childhood in Shillong...❤😊❤😁👍👍🌹🌹
From mountains of Sahyadri to Himalayas their journey defines a lot.
True that
Thank you
Beautiful..nature is true magic..no materialistic things.. simple and beautiful ❤️❤️ life is indeed better at Landour..
Touche
I love city life and totally cool here but yes would love to travel and explore mountains ❤
After watching this video and the other video of landour tour from this channel... I have been so deeply attached to get to this place that it has found place in my dreams at night..... I don't have money to travel in present circumstances of my life.... But someday I will get here and someday i will have my dream come true.... Lifetime Living in such place is definitely pricey so what if someone has the dream of settling down like this...Making Dreams come reality is always based on some cost and a lot of struggle.... I hope that there will be more such lovely places in world be filled up with right people to make us believe that even this could become true.... Who let us live momentarily living our dreams....
PS-The background guy has a really wonderful deep voice which inspires me more to visit this place at least once....
That’s really rude, she keeps interrupting him. Doesn’t let him speak. Although the place seems so beautiful. Inspired
Uh yep you're right
so happy for the both of them! glad i came across your channel.
Thank you Sir
Welcome aboard!

Hi guys,loved the video .and yes it is not easy to run a guest house mountains ,it's not only nature but lots of other things we have to live with.you must have a deep and unconditional love for mountains only then you can live there.i am running a guest house in MacLeod ganj so I know the struggle.
Please share your details. We'd be happy to visit you once we come to McLeod Ganj.
The unmad ,dharamkot MacLeod ganj near tushita
I'm beginning this journey 😊 Will try and document!
I was fortunate enough to visit Landour with my husband with 3 months of our marriage and every bit of our time was magical at Landour! Very difficult to put into words as to how Landour casts a spell all over you, we were so immersed in true beauty of this place on our trip in July 2019 😍
It is indeed spellbinding. Thanks for sharing! 😊💛
Be with nature it will take care of us....
I am watching your video first time and I really love it...😍love from Bangladesh
Thanks so much. Really appreciate it 😊
They are living my dream.
We are blessed 🙏!

बहुत सही बात कही है आपने, बहुत बहुत बधाई ।
Wow.guys you got guts to leave city and live in abode u dream of..hats off...
Thank you!
Wow great work
Thanks a lot 😊
It touched me 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you!
I'll visit landour some day
God knows... It so much matches with my mentality.... Born and brought up in the planned Industrial city of Durgapur, I longed for that fresh air and greenery sitting in kolkata, my workplace. Whenever had a chance drove down to the greenery and rivers around Durgapur. Now sitting in Greater Noida and having driven down to UK twice I long to settle down in a piece of green land on the base of Siwaliks, the old connecting road between Dehradun and Hrishikesh. It's a bit hilly and shrouded in greenery
I can feel the mountain breeze somehow in this video...
💛💛💛
This was Soo good
U have a soothing voice
The mystic mountains........One more good destination in himalay in
With Blessings I have my estates in Uttarakhand, Arunachal, Assam, and homes in Qutub Enclave, Cookes Town and Colva.
Time and tide wait for none. So do life. Whatever one wishes to do in life, one has to do it RIGHT NOW.
Thanks for this beautiful story..even we are almost on the same track to escape the rat race..promise to share our story within a year..!!
Thanks bunch man. All the best for the journey ahead :)
Waiting to hear your story soon, keep the faith! All the best!!!
Today came across this vdo...not that it's about escaping rat race,but I always loved mountains and want to live there in my tiny home from childhood.so happy to see this 🌿💙
P.S.-rat race is suffocating though
This is truly inspirational and great content. Hope to get into a weeds a little more in the coming episodes!! Great series to watch out for!! I'm placing this ahead of Sacred Games Season 2.
Haha Thanks man 😊🙌
Abhijit you will be hooked!
My friend sent me the link to the about section of this channel, at the very end it's written "Don't forget to subscribe, trust me it's worth it". I came to the videos watched this one. and damn! Amazing content. ❤️❤️
Hats off to that guy.
Living with that irritating ass of a woman.
What quit the rat race?
They charge 10k per day stay😂😂
Yeah... 😀
To add, even their conversation felt like a marketing pitch of their property
They are selling their products by cooking emotional story.
But money is important tho to survive.thats just common sense...
Rightly said
So nice
Beautiful show..I.e.The untravel show....nice exploring by Abhishek bhau!!!.....Luv u bro from Sangli (Maharashtra)❤️🥰☺️🙏😊
Superbb
Your home is lucky for people.
easy to say when u have loads of money. here we are still struggling to get our overtime approved.
i also think locals pays the brunt of this kind of migration specially in mountain region. they are still poor.
Locals are never poor in the mountains...who told you that??
They live a simple life & eat what they grow!!
Their life is healthier in every aspect!!
@@geetsharma6944 have u ever been to a village of uttrakhand? simple life is not measuring scale for ones economic condition.
i have my village in -> gagarsiu daang pauri gharwal uttrakhand and i have seen how they live , my own cousins.
more than 50% people in uttrakhand villages live in subsidized ration provided by state, very few grow there own and eat and more over they suffer because of wild boars attack on their crops.
so stfu
@@23367388 well I have lived in Himachal...in the interiors...people are quite prosperous there..so I assumed the same for UK!!
@@geetsharma6944 He is not really wrong. It's always a challenge to farm in mountainous region. A big Migration from villages to towns is a major problem and political instability in region is responsible for it.
Although, it wouldn't be right to compare himchal with uttrakhand in regards to infrastructure. Because it's not been even 20 years of Uttrakhand becoming a separate state. Whereas himachal had gotten their statehood many decades ago.
And before becoming a state in 1971, it had been an union territory for decades after Independence and that's why huge fund was given for infrastructure and growth. Soon, it became major tourist hub.
Uttrakhand was created after around 30 years of himachal pradesh getting a statehood and had never been an union territory. Above all, whole region was completely overlooked by UP governments. No infrastructure No growth in this Himalayan region.
It's been almost 20 years of it becoming a separate state and situations would have been a hell lot of better, had there been stable government and prudent leaders in these past 20 years.
One big issue is that cultivable land in uk for one person in his village is fragmented, which makes agriculture in hills a huge challenge. Himachal had the similar issue but himachal had applied land consolidation law in its region. Now it's not that hard for a person to farm and take care of his farm from animals to a large extent.
But, in uk political parties just speak of it but don't do anything about it. There has had been demand for land consolidation process for decades but due to lack of political will power it couldn't be possible.
The house and the surroundings and everything else is beautiful MINUS this lady's overenthusiastic chiming in. She surely hasn't yet become grounded or soaked in the mountain sense of calm and gravity.... Ha
Till now the video you have made I was watching and few of them I like also.With Today video I am subscribing to your channel and might be follow regularly. Thanks for this video Abhishek...
Thanks man. Welcome aboard!
