Smoking friendly vacation rentals in McLeod Ganj

This place was wonderful. It was my first stop in India so the perfect place to settle in. It’s a short walk from McLeod Ganj and is surrounded by great amenities including a couple of great restaurants, a shop and a gym. The area is a great mix of Tibetan/Buddhist and Indian cultures. It’s wonderful! The view from the balcony is spectacular and the kitchen is well equipped for self catering. I was remote working so the work desk was ideal but trying to work without getting mesmerised by the view was hard 😂 The team couldn’t have done more for me including getting an Indian SIM card. Thanks guys. I’ll be returning and I can’t wait.

Absolutely loved the location. Property was great! Friendly host and caretaker

We were looking for a place away from busy Dharamsala that we could use as a base to explore the area and Ajit’s home fitted the bill perfectly. Located in Naddi, it is about 500m above Dharamsala and cooler. Accessing Dharamsala and McLeodganj was a breeze - if you have your own vehicle then no problem, else there are autos and taxis that ply from Dal Lake, which is an attraction close to Naddi.  The home itself is very nice. Very clean and neat and very thoughtfully furnished. The kitchen is well equipped with an induction stove, gas, refrigerator, water filter, utility vessels and some common grocery items needed for cooking. The view from the unit is amazing - it looks out onto some village homes in the distance on top of a hill with terraced fields in between and the show capped Dhauladhar peaks in the horizon. The unit is located in the second floor - accessed by 2 flights of stairs. So, if you have seniors in your contingent or someone with mobility issues, it is something to watch out for.  Ajit’s family - himself, wife and 2 young boys were amazing and most helpful with some our specific needs. Since Ajit has grown up in the Naddi area, he knows the place inside out and is happy to guide and help out.  Connectivity was one of the best we have had in Himachal - Vodafone works great and so does Jio. All in all - great value for money for your stay in the Dharamsala area - we would come back to stay - for the place, for the view, for the convenience and of course, Ajit and family - amazing folks! 

Kunal's Wildflower felt like home from day one. located in a peaceful corner of Upper Bhagsu, it was conveniently close to essential shops. The spacious and thoughtfully designed apartment featured a cozy wood stove for heating, adding to the charm. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and perfect for a long stay. Kunal was always available to help ensuring a smooth stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with easy access to triund and mcleodganj.

Rama's place was double great. To begin with - the coziness inside and out. The room is not too big, but there's certainly enough place for two people. We liked the green grass when outside a lot. Also there are two options of how to get to the central square - both just a couple of minutes and there you are, able to explore onwards according to your wishes. Rama herself is very warm. She's very helpful with everything - willing to answer all your questions and also willing to give you some advice, if you need it :). I think the main compliment about the place and the owner would be if we'll travel again to McLeod Ganj we would definitely stay at Rama's. Thank you, Rama!

The apartment looked exactly the same as in photos, everything was right clean bathrooms, comfortable rooms, choice of books and board games for timepass and on the top of everything you could hear the river flowing nearby which is soothing at night. Host Surbhi is also a very nice person you don't feel like you are meeting her for the first time, she is very helpful. I recommend this place who wants to visit Dharamshala

Had an amazing stay at the Tara’s BnB. The location was amazing. It was in Upper Dharamkot and is blessed with amazing view, especially the kitchen. The place was well maintained and very clean. We were welcomed by two fury cuties, Blanko and Coco. Loved their company. Apart from Airbnb, Tara was an amazing host. A very friendly person and always ready to help. Really enjoyed our stay here. ✨✨✨

I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Nishant was very organised with the communication prior to our stay and Annu and his wife were so lovely. From the organised airport pick up (at a cost of $30 AUD each way) to anywhere we needed to go, Annu was very accommodating - and just lovely in general. The area feels like a small neighbourhood village but with good options for tasty food, and cute shops/stalls. 10/10 recommend

we have stayed for 2 nights and it was avery pleasant stay surrounded by lush green trees and u can clearly see snow covered mountains from this stay Uncle is very responsive and friendly they have a Little kitchen garden outside and flower plants.property is beautiful and homely it has 3 rooms and kitchen and 2 washrooms this place is little away from dharmashala but it's worth staying there if you have your own vehicle

We had a great time, it was a very easy stay, the balcony view is amazing! Very quirky layout of the space also. lots of small places to eat around and the walk is quiet easy. We faced no issues at all, and throughly enjoyed the stay. definitely coming back.

Our family of four had an absolutely wonderful experience at this homestay! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. Ajay jee was incredibly hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. The property itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated and it provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. We especially loved the cozy balcony with a view of the mountains The location was ideal close to major attractions Dharmshala,meclodeganj,Tapovan etc. It was a great base for exploring like tracking,Rope way etc. Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations, and we truly felt at home. I highly recommend this place to families or anyone looking for a serene and comfortable .

Deepak was docile in his communication and cooperative. The caretaker Parveen was also a genuine host. Just the location of the place was just on the road and not so much great with the views. On the other hand, the property was clean and big and really homely.

Excellent place to stay. very near to Stadium. Neat and clean, amenities were provided well. Host is very very helpful and responsive even at night time. Very much homely stay experience it was for us.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a property. Firstly, I must commend the beautiful and serene location of the accommodation. Despite being 2 km away from the market, the peaceful ambiance and scenic surroundings made it a delightful retreat. The tranquility of the area added to the overall charm of the stay. The room itself was spacious and impressively equipped with amenities, making my stay comfortable and convenient. However, I noticed that the mattress could use some improvement in terms of comfort. Enhancing the quality of the mattress would certainly elevate the guest experience. I must also highlight the exemplary hospitality extended by the hosts. They were incredibly accommodating and exhibited utmost politeness throughout my stay. Their warm demeanor added a personal touch to the experience, making me feel welcomed and value. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and appreciated the beauty and tranquility of the location, as well as the hospitality of the hosts.

The host was proactive right from my queries about the place, all the way to contacting me when I had left behind something of value after checking out. I had a near perfect stay here, there were no hiccups or hidden fees. Cordial and upfront. The caretaker took interest in our visit and itinerary, while helping us get a scooty for travel around Mcleodganj. I personally loved the layout and the aesthetics of the place. Had a rustic, yet modern vibe to it. The path to the location is a little steep, but that's a given since it is located in a mountain range. Had fun and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is considering a visit!

Shalini’s place matches exactly as illustrated through photos. The view of Dhauladhar range from the balcony is awesome. It’s located 10 mins from Dharamshala market and 30 mins from Mcleodganj square. I would recommend to stay in this area rather than Dharmshala or Mcelodganj as it’s more peaceful and serene with a stream just across the road. The kitchen is well equipped, though a microwave would have been a nice addition to help warm food. Each of the rooms have heaters which helped keep us warm during the initial rainy nights. The local spots recommended by Shalini were worth a visit. The only downside, as already stated in description, is that the apartment is on 3rd floor so not the best choice if you have elderly people with you. But for the views anyways residing on higher floor is recommended. We travelled with our 3 year old daughter and it was fine. Look forward to staying at her place in my visits to come.

Had a wonderful stay. Peaceful , neatnand slightly off from the main noisy city place. Not too far from Dal lake. Coz of its location it was peaceful and grocery store ( that had way more than what one may look for) right next to it was a super add on. The kitchen was stuffed with basic needs enough for us to prepare our tea and bailsic meals. Our caretaker Sandeep was awesome, super responsive and took great care of us. He cooked delicious home meals making our stay even better(home style chicken, masala chai and pakodas with Buransh chutney is a must try). Would highly recommend Devraj's place for anyone planning to visit Mcleodganj to destress.

When you think of going somewhere you always plan for traveling the places, things to do and multiple other activities, but when we reached there instead of a tourist we, fortunately, got added into one more act of "being a family". Ashish greeted us with utmost warmness, and the landlord family was equally humble. Plus the little kid is like the cherry on the cake, there is a story of BANARAS, for that you have to visit VIA KASHI. Regarding the place & accommodation offered to us was amazing, it was newly built and we were the first to enter. Sparkling clean, new utensils, and everything required articles were provided. Food options are just below the place, there is one dhabba and cafe in front of the house, plus there are multiple food joints within walking distance of 2 mins. If you are visiting VIA KASHI then you shall get the same comforts as you feel at your own home. For rest, you need to visit.

Perfect place to relax rejuvenate and just get pampered! The location is amazing - the living room has gorgeous french windows which overlook the amazing Dhauladhar range. Sipping tea by that window was my favorite spot. There is a kitchen if you want to make food, but aunty and her daughter made some yummy home-food which just made us even more lazy. Spent about 9 amazing days with this family - best part they never disturb and leave us on our own... but are very friendly if we want to chat. Miss the friendly atmosphere, amazing tea and yummy food overlooking one of the beautiful himalayan ranges. Will definitely visit soon!
