"Pros: The Himaal - created by Sharmila and Bhuvan, is a beautiful homestay amidst nature. Pros: Dedicated and friendly staff Delicious vegetarian and egg-based meals Clean and disciplined environment Close to the paragliding landing site Nearby cafes, restaurants, and markets Good value for money Paragliding arrangements by the property Plenty of books, toys, and sports equipment for kids Toddler-friendly food options Bluetooth speakers in each room No hen or stag parties, ensuring a peaceful stay Nearby fuel station Cons: The last 100m of the road can be tricky Stringent rules may not suit everyone(especially in our country) - check rules before No non-vegetarian food, though the vegetarian options are delicious Poor road conditions from Mandi to Bir (as of May '25) (~100km) Limited quality restaurant options on the route from Delhi via Mohali/Chandigarh Unpredictable weather, so pack accordingly Cons: Nothing to NOT like about! Would have given a 10 if I could get some delicious non-veg items to relish as well." ~Aditya
