Simple Himachali Abode 2

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. 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. 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. How to reach us? - From Delhi, you can take direct night or morning Volvo bus from ISBT Delhi to Shimla (Just get down at Shoghi and call us. We will pick you up). OR take a Shatabdi train from Delhi to Chandigarh. - From Chandigarh, you can hire a direct cab (which will be expensive), OR you can catch a Volvo bus from ISBT Chandigarh to Shimla (Just get down at Shoghi and call us. We will pick you up). - If you are coming from your personal car, just follow the Maps till Shoghi and post that we can guide you or send you the direct Map location. NOTE** Even if you are coming by personal car and 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. NOTE*** If you want us to pick u up personally by car from Shoghi to our place please let us know in advance and we would charge INR 500 for that and same for dropping you to Shoghi.
