No Society Cafe and Homestay

The homestay is a 10 min walk down from the road, nestled in an apple orchard and over looking a stream. The location is stunning and the rooms are spacious, warm, well done and welcoming, however what makes the place really special is the person who manages and run the place, Nitesh. Nitesh is a very evolved, warm and hospital gentleman who has a holistic view of life, is keen on giving the local children a better world view and education, a conservationist and a true community person who lives in harmony with the locals and balances the needs of the guests who come to stay with him and the staff who work with him, ensuring profit is not the mainstay of the place. Close to the stream, is an 80 yr old flour mill that is powered by the stream water and is quite an engineering feat, be sure to check it out. It's a marvel! This homestay is very close to Jalori pass, so Serolsar lake and the nearby fort are popular tourist destinations. We decided to give the lake a miss and Nitesh took us for a trek across the stream where we found morel mushrooms, edible fern shoots and even spotted a baby leopard! The food and service is really good. The rooms have a most glorious smell of deodar. Nitesh is also a musician who played the guitar for us and sand some soulful songs which we thoroughly enjoyed, around the campfire. The experience was an unforgettable one that sets it apart from the other commercialised resorts in the area that are mushrooming all over. We booked only two nights and wished we had booked for longer, we are surely going back for more!

Serene! Calm! Lovely! And most importantly, Homely! This home stay was undoubtedly one of the best I've ever been to. Though it was just a two night visit, it was absolutely enchanting. Had such a brilliant time. It was love at first sight with the place when I saw Spiti valley mountain range view from the room and Love Meadows! One best thing of this stay is the pine wood structured, scenic, peaceful and comfortable sitting café at top, where we enjoyed our meals. Mr. Piyush (host) is simply superb. He made us feel like we were staying at a friend's place rather than some hotel. His team of house help is very good. They cook very well. They are friendly and welcoming and can help you with anything you need. Exploring the unexplored best suited for this place, very less population with awesome views and people are so humble and friendly. Looking forward to staying here again. A perfect 10/10. #Shangarh

Beautiful place,,,,, place where u will see rivers, waterfall, and big forest. If u are a nature lover, it's a must gooo place. Food is awesome and rooms are very nice and cozy,. People will treat you like your family . Piyush, the host there is superb, he picked us and helped us a lot. This is like heaven on earth, when we are busy in metro cities.

This is my first solo trip in Himachal Pradesh. Piyush and Raman, who run the place, have been extremely helpful in guiding me through little known details and facts in and around with a lot of precision. They made it very welcoming and comforting understanding my requirements.

I have travelled and stayed in various homestays but this place has got some authentic vibe to it. My recommendation would be to travel with friends to chill, great food with a mesmerizing view and music. ***** with this the host - Mr. Piyush a talented and a fun person who will make your visit worth remembering. #Ibelongtonosociety
