Vacation rentals in Shanshar

Pros -Hidden gem in nature -Awesome food, Kanu ji can compete in master chef -Kanu ji and his family were so welcoming and friendly took really really good care of us -So get to experience actual pahadi tradition which is not blemished by anything -You can’t go to elsewhere, you are really just in a place(Can be con too depending on your preferences) Con -The trek path is not for everyone especially at night it can be risky. Was strenuous for my parents(who are senior citizens). I would ideally deduct 0.5 star for this, but because of hospitality, food and such a nice location went with full 5 stars :)

Ajay's Homestay exceeded all our expectations! The location is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Himalayas. Ajay and his family are incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home. The food was delicious and authentic, and the rooms were cozy and clean. We loved every moment of our stay and can't wait to come back!!!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a staycation at this beautiful property, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable, always greeting us with a smile and attending to every little detail with genuine care. The property itself is a hidden gem — tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and incredibly cozy. Special thanks to the hosts (Pratish, Negi ji and his family) for their thoughtful touches — from the welcome basket to the personalized recommendations for local spots and activities. They truly made it feel like a home away from home. This staycation was the perfect reset, and I’m so grateful for the warmth and care shown throughout our visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and high

The property is the perfect place for someone looking for a peaceful stay away from city hustle. There’s a trail to Pekhri village offering a panoramic view of the valley. The property has a good chef freshly preparing all the meals and great taste. I had one of the best trout fish masala fry, lemon chicken during my stay. The host and the team are always available to cater to the guests needs and goes above and beyond. They have bonfire in the evenings where the guests can interact and have a good time. I will visit again for sure. One tip - while travelling from city. Do ensure to carry items you will need during the stay as there are no nearby shops.

Staying with Naval Thakur was lovely. The homestay is cozy as promised. It was a fun time all around - Naval took us to Pundrik Rishi Lake, Shangarh, Twin Towers showed us local waterfalls, told us about the culture and stories. The food was amazing as well - we were able to enjoy many different local foods and learn about their cultural significance. Most things that were served were grown in the farm outside!! Deohari serves as good place to use as a home base - a cozy village with traditional Himachali architecture and style. One can travel in and around Sainj Valley using Deohari as the center point. Being part of the Great Himalayan National Park, it is lush with flora and fauna - especially a wide of variety of birds. Naval ji was able to guide us to many different natural wonders. We learnt about the local Devs and Devis - their stories, rituals, festivals etc. All in all, living with Naval ji was a very fun experience, can't wait to go back!!

Had a great time at the place! Easily one of the best times I have had in my life. After a stressful few months, coming to this place was probably the best decision I had made in the whole year. The place was serene and heavenly. The hosts were wonderful and friendly and made sure we were having a good time while we stayed. The dogs, the horses, the food, the air, the music, the scenery, the hike, the waterfall, the rain, the stars, the clouds, the meadows, the lake, and the people -- all got together to make the experience as memorable as it could be.

Our stay at the cottage in Shangargh was overall a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely stunning — peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery, and perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. The cottage itself was charming and cozy, and the hosts were warm and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. However, we did have one very concerning experience during our stay. One evening, an individual entered our cottage in a heavily intoxicated state and began shouting aggressively, repeatedly threatening to “call goons to fight.” This was extremely distressing, especially as I was traveling with my family. It made us feel unsafe in what was otherwise a serene environment.

The host was exceptionally warm and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, they made sure everything was taken care of, offering helpful local tips and going out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The hospitality truly elevated the experience. The accommodation itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with all the essentials provided. Whether you're looking to relax, explore nature, or just unwind with a view, this place has it all. Highly recommended for anyone planning a peaceful getaway in Wotu!
