Elegant eco-retreat with Himalayan panoramas

Pax & Opis Home traces its legacy to the early colonial charm of Mussoorie and Barlowganj, historic hill stations in Uttarakhand that drew British settlers and travelers seeking respite from the plains since the 1820s. Adjacent to Pax & Opis lies the prestigious St. George’s College, founded in 1853 by the Capuchin Fathers in Barlowganj as a boarding school for British Catholic children, later entrusted to the Patrician Brothers in 1893; today, it thrives on a 400-acre campus overlooking the village, nurturing boys from grades IV to XII with a focus on holistic development and CISCE curriculum. The area marks the historic "halfway point" on the old bridle path from Dehradun's Rajpur to Mussoorie, where the Halfway House served as a vital rest stop for weary travelers during British times.
