We live in the upper half of the property, so we are here around 90 percent of the time, we can help with any enquiries about trekking and can also arrange porters to carry up luggage, guides, taxis and info about the area.

To live in Nature with no roads or traffic to only be surrounded by the huge snow capped mountains and cascading waterfalls and thick forests, to watch this beautiful scene constantly changing but staying the same, to be still in mother nature's energy is a gift for the soul. Your tension will pass and the hectic life of work will wait for your return as you get your top up of peaceful green energy.
The area is great for short treks & there are three magnificent waterfalls through forests, all a short walk from the house. If you want people then the village is only a 20 minute walk down hill with communal hot spring baths, temples dating back several thousand of years. Packed with culture and history. Restaurants, trekking & souvenir shops, local shawls and wool socks, travel arrangements, and other mountain sports can also be found in the village Vashist. Vashist is only 3km from Manali and 5km to Old Manali. the whole area is full beautiful local people and steeped in history with Temples and 'Pujas' (ritual ceremonies) going on, a great photo opportunity for camera enthusiasts

Other things to note
There is no road access to the house the only way to get there is by walking. Guests need to arrive by 5 pm so there is plenty of time to walk up during daylight hours also the porters need daylight hours to carry luggage up the hill. If you arrive in the dark dew to delay i travel you will have to stay in village Vashist a night and trek up the next morning. If I do not have any booking I would be more then happy to move your booking forward by a day.
