“I stayed here for 2 days with my family and had a wonderful time. The place is very quiet and beautiful. Our host, Mr. Bahuguna, and his family took great care of us. The food was fresh, healthy, and delicious. We enjoyed walking in the forest, swimming in the river, meeting new people, and picking fresh fruits from the trees. We highly recommend this place!”

Mountain roads are beautiful but narrow. You can reach easily with any car, but an SUV makes the drive even more comfortable.
