Picture
"This is not a five star hotel - it's a five star home" The homestay encourages its guests to give up the modern lifestyle for a few days and participate in agricultural activities at a homestay near Shimla. Situated about 65 kilometers (3.5-4 hours drive) from Shimla in Kotkhai Tehsil, this homestay is in the middle of an apple orchard with views of the Himalayan valley and peaks all around.  Modern dwellers can enjoy the change and actively participate in herding, planting and cooking on wood stoves apart from hills related adventure activities. Wake up to the moos of cows, hear bleats of sheep as you choose a book, from the 1000 titles available or enjoy chirps of birds as you sit and enjoy home produced meals at the end of the day.
This home stay with kitchen is managed by the hosts and it offers it's guests four, large and comfortable bedrooms. Three bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and are situated in an adjoining cottage and one bedroom is located in the main house and has a separate toilet and bathroom.  The main house hosts the guests, the living, dining and kitchen areas. All the rooms are large and comfortable, with one of them able to accommodate up to four adults. Each bedroom gives beautiful views all around.  Since the homestay is situated in a village, you can experience rural life that has existed for centuries. 
The farm and homestay in Shimla creates simple home cooked meals with organically produced ingredients on the farm. You can choose to create your own meals at an extra cost in the wood stove.  In this country side life, the hosts also provide options for snooker, badminton and table tennis. There is no TV but ample DVDs can be enjoyed on the projector in the living room.  While on the farm go for a long walk down the winding path, indulge in mountain biking, spot rare birds or fish.  There is much to do at this beautiful property built on the top of a hill.
This home stay is perfect for a short getaway to breathe in the fresh air, partake in natural produced dishes and indulge in rural life with vistas of the beautiful snow peaked Himalayas to keep you company. Come here to live like our ancestors and take back memories of time spent in activities that keep you smiling and happy till you want to come again to this Shimla homestay.
