Simple Himachali Abode 1

My Granny, me n my sister Hitakshi would be thrilled to host u. Come as a friend-stay as family-take pleasant memories. Our newly constructed place is ten kms away from Shoghi in a village called KOT. Don’t u worry about getting here as we will be ur guide (means don’t rely on Maps when u leave the highway), call us and we will accompany u in our small mini car (Hitakshi does have a license). Love Nature? Hiking? Village life? This is ur place. Love City life? I've heard Mumbai is Great. The space NOTE*** Because of a new construction in front little view is blocked and now we have partial mountain view. It’s still airy and open but some of the view is blocked. Before you book I must stress that it is a quiet village area far away from city’s hustle bustle (When you are coming from Chandigarh, 13Kms before Shimla comes a small station called Shoghi, from Shoghi you take a link road to reach Kot, which is 10kms away). Although it will be a unique experience for anybody, but those who want to stay and enjoy the city life of Shimla, this place won’t suit your temperament. But one night halt to see how it goes won’t be a bother (as it is, it’s not that expensive). Our newly constructed place has three spacious bedrooms (around 300sq ft carpet area), each with connected bath and toilet and a separate private entrance. Each room also has a connected balcony for you to enjoy the view of the valley, and for those among you who are trying to quit smoking this will be the place for deciding while smoking. Mostly all the basic amenities are provided including Cable-TV and electric heaters during winters. It may not be luxurious but is definitely clean and complimenting to a simple village life. I am afraid we don't have Wi-fi but most of the phone networks work just fine. Two nice wooden cushioned chairs with a round table in between, are nicely placed by the bay window for you to enjoy your morning and evening tea. I am sure you will enjoy simple home cooked food made with love by my Granny. Spicy and non-spicy is for you to say. Oh! By the way, we are Vegetarians, and Yes-not even egg. Apart from that whatever you want to eat just inform us in advance. I would recommend that you try our Signature Himachali Cuisines. NOTE** Breakfast is charged @150/- INR per person. NOTE** Lunch and Dinner is charged @200/-INR per person. NOTE** Linens will be changed after every two days. NOTE** Washing & Ironing of clothes available @30/-INR per piece NOTE** If it gets dark when you reach Shoghi, I would strongly advice for you to call us, not that it gets unsafe, but the internal link roads can be confusing. And specially the last 40 mtrs stretch, which is unpaved and can easily skip one’s eye. NOTE** Visual directions are also provided in the photographs. Guest access The village KOT and is uniquely positioned between Shimla (45min) and the pretty town of Chail (60 min) allowing you both experiences even within a shorter trip. The village is accessible via a link road to the highway that leads to Shimla (13km before) or going down to Chandigarh. The village roads too are well tarmacked with the last 40m a little off-roadish. Sufficient on-site parking is available for any sized car Please call us when you reach the town "Shoghi" as we promise to give you better directions than Go(ogle). Other things to note If you wish to experience a stay immersed in simplicity then the "Simple Himachali Abode" is your ideal place. We do not recommend this as a pit-stop, but encourage you to stay longer as the simplicity of the place is quite therapeutic. It grows on you faster than you would grow into the place. Longer stay guests have come back, and we are enjoying our growing tribe.
