it's was very good experience. who love trekking trails, definately they will love this trail to reach the homestay from mall road, although bikes and cars also available for pickup and drop. i am personally love trekking that's why I have travelled by walk and it's very satisfying.
second point is homestay location, it's was very calm and quiet. who love nature , peace. definately best option for them. you can see full nainital town , lake, mallital from the homestay. you can say it's located in a top on mountain.
third point is , there food was too good specially shahi panner, i love it.
overall stay was good and satisfied
