What's here

"Have you met a family so beautiful and so perfect who welcome you with an open heart to be a part of their family and their life, zero apprehension, and then as a solo traveler, you feel you fit in just perfectly like that lost piece of jigsaw puzzle pulling you in with that strong pull of love, care, genuineness, beauty of heart and soul, respect, warmth and ofcourse beautiful hospitality and culture.. I am lucky to have a chance of such a close encounter with it.. But this one is special because I never imagined a place, a home and its people can have a connect so strong that you can say now you have one more family in the Himalayas. That's what it has been for me." "This cottage amidst apple and cherry orchards offers a perfect mountain escape with stunning valley views, home-cooked meals, and warm hospitality, truly feeling like a 'home away from home' with peaceful surroundings, cozy wooden interiors, and opportunities for nature walks and exploring the serene countryside, ideal for relaxation and reconnecting with nature." "The hospitality of this place is heart touching and amazing!!!!! Enjoyed every second of living here!!! Kudos to the hosts and their effort to make this trip of mine a life time experience" "This property is benchmark fulfilling all check list of how a homestay should be. But best part is hospitality of the Mehta family, they are extremely warm and welcoming people. Cherry on the top is fresh organic food served warm with great love by Aunty. And Mr Atul is extremely knowledgeable person and we had a great time with lots long hours chats. Kids love playing with the three dogs Olive, Alpha and Sundri."
