My Granny, me n my sister Hitakshi would be thrilled to host u. Come as a friend-stay as family-take pleasant memories. Our newly constructed place is ten kms away from Shoghi in a village called KOT. Don’t u worry about getting here as we will be ur guide (means don’t rely on Maps when u leave the highway), call us and we will accompany u in our small mini car (Hitakshi does have a license). Love Nature? Hiking? Village life? This is ur place. Love City life? I've heard Mumbai is Great.

The space
NOTE*** Because of a new construction in front little view is blocked and now we have partial mountain view. It’s still airy and open but some of the view is blocked

Before you book I must stress that it is a quiet village area far away from city’s hustle bustle (When you are coming from Chandigarh, 13Kms before Shimla comes a small station called Shoghi, from Shoghi you take a link road to reach Kot, which is 10kms away). Although it will be a unique experience for anybody, but those who want to stay and enjoy the city life of Shimla, this place won’t suit your temperament. But one night halt to see how it goes won’t be a bother (as it is, it’s not that expensive).

Our newly constructed place has three spacious bedrooms (around 300sq ft carpet area), each with connected bath and toilet and a separate private entrance. Each room also has a connected balcony for you to enjoy the view of the valley, and for those among you who are trying to quit smoking this will be the place for deciding while smoking. Mostly all the basic amenities are provided including Cable-TV and electric heaters during winters. It may not be luxurious but is definitely clean and complimenting to a simple village life. I am afraid we don't have Wi-fi but most of the phone networks work just fine. Two nice wooden cushioned chairs with a round table in between, are nicely placed by the bay window for you to enjoy your morning and evening tea.

I am sure you will enjoy simple home cooked food made with love by my Granny. Spicy and non-spicy is for you to say. Oh! By the way, we are Vegetarians, and Yes-not even egg. Apart from that whatever you want to eat just inform us in advance. I would recommend that you try our Signature Himachali Cuisines.

NOTE** Breakfast is charged @150/- INR per person.

NOTE** Lunch and Dinner is charged @200/-INR per person.

NOTE** Linens will be changed after every two days.

NOTE** Washing & Ironing of clothes available @30/-INR per piece

NOTE** If it gets dark when you reach Shoghi, I would strongly advice for you to call us, not that it gets unsafe, but the internal link roads can be confusing. And specially the last 40 mtrs stretch, which is unpaved and can easily skip one’s eye.

NOTE** Visual directions are also provided in the photographs.

Neighborhood highlights

You will be introduced to a very unique kind of surroundings and a lifestyle. If you love to take a hike, we can guide you around to some of the beautiful spots in the vicinity. There are some adventurous activities happening nearby, in case you are interested we have a tie-up with them. The famous Tara-Devi Temple at the top of the mountain is accessible by road as well as by a hiking trail. One of the days you can also go to Shimla in your personal car (lot of parking available there), which is twenty-three kms from here. In case you don’t want to take your own car a cab can be arranged at a standard rate (which can get expensive). If you don’t mind travelling by bus then it is advisable.
