Had a 2 night stay at this place and it was very refreshing. The food is good(especially the breakfast which is so much more than normal paratha and pakora fare;we got lovely pan cakes and swiss rolls in the breakfast)) and the place truly showcases the idea of a “restrained forest”. No loudness of unnecessary landscaping.Short trek to the river... More

The fun becomes double with the ever courteous owners and the wonderfully trainer staff. The hot and sumptious meals just go right... More

After 2 visits in the last 2 years, this has become one of my favourite places in the hills. Delicious meals (loved the breakfasts!), bonfires in the evenings (the corn was plucked from the terrace right outside the room!), very helpful staff and beautiful view from the room! The short trek to the stream is lovely, and the setting is... More

Ek Chidiya holiday home is a quiet place, away from the maddening crowd. Nestled in a beautiful village, surrounded by fruit orchards, the scenery all around is mesmerizing, the walk to a nearby stream is fun, also for taking some really good clicks. Sumptuous and delicious buffet meals are an out of the world experience for a foody like me.... More
