This is the best place to stay around Dharamshala’peaceful, serene, and truly welcoming. The owner and the entire team managing the place are incredibly kind and helpful. The rooms are spotless, well-equipped with everything you need, and some even offer stunning views. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay!

Good things about Himalayan Homestay: 1) Owner and his family were friendly and helpful. 2) Location: It was almost at the end of the main street with caf??, restaurants, grocery, fruit stand, local clothes shops and souvenir shops, trekking services. Less or more activity around, so you will not be alone or isolated. 3) My room looked the same as in booking.com pictures, but in reality it is a smaller than in pictures. It was okay size room for one person only. Too small for two people. It had everything needed: clean and comfy bed, warm blankets, towel, soap, toilet paper, electric kettle, cups and water. Socket was near the bed/not at the bed, which was uncomfortable to charge laptop. Probably 2-3-meter-long power strip would be great to comfortably charge laptop and phone at the same time. Water in the shower was so weak, so I was using bucket to take a quick shower. 4) Free wi-fi internet worked very well in my room. 5) Homemade food from guesthouse owner’s wife (for separate payment) was tasty and good. 6) Cleaning lady comes every day, but I didn’t need daily cleaning. 7) Main sightseeing places like Naddi view point and sunset view point were 2-3 minutes of walking distance and Lake Dal was 10 minutes of walking distance from the guesthouse. Breathtaking views to the Himalayan mountains and to the valley around. Dalai Lama’s temple and residence in Mcleodganj (not in Dharamsala as written in internet!) is 10-15 minutes of driving by tuk tuk/autorikshaw. Overall, it is a nice and safe place to stay. It has everything what foreigners need. I enjoyed my time in Himalayan Homestay. I can recommend this place for foreigners. What made me cry: It is a good place to stay during summer when it is warmer outside and inside. Early March 2025 - My room was freezing cold, damp and humid as you can see from the window. I had steam coming out of my mouth when I was speaking or breathing in my room. I couldn’t feel my fingers when I was having my tea or food in the evenings. So, I was crying in my room some time as it was very cold. It’s possible to rent a heater, but my budget was very tight and limited, so I couldn’t afford it. Owner offered me to use heater for an hour for free of charge, but I didn't want to abuse his hospitality.

What a nice stay we had at Himalayan Homestay - the place is so beautiful, peaceful, clean and the staff very courteous and helpful. The rooms are sunny and bright. Anju cooked homely delicious food, taking into consideration our dietary restrictions and we were so grateful. Our only regret is not staying longer! I highly recommend Himalayan Homestay 10/10 Thank you ’’ We'll be back!

It’s really a lovely, little, peaceful place like home. Location is excellent with chirping of birds,greenery and unprecedented view of sunset from the terrace of this homestay.Hosts are very cordial. I am highly impressed with their cleanliness and maintenance of this property. Being a solo traveller, i was little bit worried about safety and security.Please never worry about that in this property. I recommend this if you prefer tranquility & serenity in lap of nature.

Our family decided to book this homestay for the New Year holidays. The location is serene with breathtaking views of the valley and icy mountains. The staff were supportive throughout the process. Amazing homely food. Would recommend this place for sure. My 7 year old son has fun at this place. Thank you
