This Mud House is a Popular Vacation Retreat in India

If you have never seen a cob or mud house, living in one feels surreal

You can experience it at this earthen home in Rishikesh, India

There are hand-sculpted designs on the exterior, giving it a unique look

The house features 18-inch thick mud walls, which may be the reason it stays cool naturally

As you enter inside, you find a cozy living room with plenty of natural light coming through the skylight

There is one cave-like bed on main-floor and a loft sleeping area

The earth home has a window seat to enjoy the outdoors

The reciprocal garden roof also adds to the natural theme

This type of natural building is slowly getting lost with modernization in rural India and there are a few such examples of its revival

Guests can enjoy 180-degree views of the beautiful emerald-green waters of the Ganges, making the location truly mystical

You can book the earthen home for about $90 at Airbnb
