My wife and i were looking for a peaceful and uncrowded place near to nature for our short vacation this summer, and we zeroed in on tirthan valley, himachal. But, as we all know, a major part of the experience of a place also comes from the homestay or hotel we decide to spend those days at. We went through many homestays near banjar, goshaini and nagni that fitted our budget and really liked the riverside location and views of brown dipper house by humming woods at nagni. We booked it on mm t with complimentary breakfast and dinner. We were a little anxious as to whether it would be the same as shown in pictures or not. But when we reached our homestay (after a 13 hour journey from new delhi, it was nothing short of a picturesque location just by the river and mountains in the backdrop, with only few houses and homestays nearby. Our host aditya gave us the corner room on the upper floor which was spacious with glass windows to savor the view of the river and mountains. The sound of the flowing river below, and chirping birds in the woods kept us company throughout our stay. The food was prepared fresh and was hygienic and tasty. We had aloo and gobi paranthas, trout fish curry, rajma, kadi chawal, b fresh tawa rotis, and sandwiches. Special mention to the refreshing masala chai prepared by the cook there. Host aditya was friendly and informative, who guided us well about different places to visit. During our stay there we went trekking towards the great himalayan national park ~4 km uphill, spent time on the riverside, visited the few cafes nearby, and went to jibhi waterfalls on the last day. The permanent residents there are also warm and welcoming. There were no loud parties in the premises or nearby which has sadly become a routine in places near parvathi valley. Overall, it was a very memorable experience for both of us. I would happily recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend some time in the midst of nature, far away from our cities and towns.
