Worst homestay ever. The management and food is much worse. They have no respect for drivers who bring tourist to their homestay.. No food or beds are given to them. They treat them as animals. Do not book any room here.. you'll have the worst experience of your life

Excellent location. But the property needs proper maintenance. There was leakage from the commode. But repair service was prompt. You can roam around in the village. If you want you can treck upto Charkhol through the road. Be prepared for the loadshedding if there is rain/ thunderstorm. Food was good, but service is late.

Rooms are big and spacious. And property is very well maintained. Staff and owners are very polite. Food could have been better .Needs improvement in terms of taste and quantity. But the stay and hospitality covers it.
