My stay was wonderful. I was very well received, Mamta makes simply wonderful food and always took great care to make sure I was well, in addition to her, the whole family helped me with everything I needed during my stay. The rooms are clean, have hot water and the view is simply wonderful! It's perfect for have a chai and watching the sunset. The guesthouse is located in a quiet place, far from the busy center of Shimla, and to get to this region it is possible to use public transport or the family can order a taxi, which is always very easy. I loved my stay, I even learned how to make Indian food, I definitely recommend it!

    True meaning of "homestay ". Mr. Akash is a such a lovely host. He arranged everything we asked for. Actually we planned short trip for our anniversary and he knew it and he gave us surprise by arranging cake. Big room , neat and cleaned. Everything was sparkling cleaned. Home made veg food is cheery on the cake during this pandemic. Next time we will come with our entire family for longer stay.
