Looking for peaceful Himalayan towns for a month-long WFH stay

HELP

I've somehow ended up in corporate, even though I've never really felt like I belong here. The financial security and comfort make it difficult to leave, but every day feels like I'm living someone else's life. I also have a long history of struggling with my mental health, and that makes figuring out what I actually want from life even harder.

One thing I know for sure is that the mountains make me feel better in a way nothing else does. I was in Srinagar a month ago for 11 days, and just waking up to the sight of mountains outside my window and going on a few hikes made me feel more alive than I have in a long time.

So I've decided to take small steps instead of making a dramatic change. Over the next few months, I'll be working remotely and spending a week to a month in different, quieter Himalayan towns to see if I can find a place where I feel at home.

I'm looking for recommendations in Uttarakhand—peaceful, less touristy towns with good internet and safe for a solo woman traveller. If possible, I'd love homestay recommendations too. My budget is around ₹10k a month for accommodation. Is that realistic? Any suggestions would mean a lot.

Thank you. :)
