Property Number: 044HIM

Rupert and Bholi Eugster's home is a property with four individual cottages run by an ex-pat and his Indian wife. It's situated around 17 kms before Manali, amidst apple orchards and a flower garden. A perfect respite from city life, it's a haven of peace and tranquillity amongst the stunning views of the misty Himalayas. Recently completed, all the cottages are decorated colourfully and smell delightfully of pine wood. The ground floor has a quaint sitting room with fireplace; dining area and TV Room. On the first floor are the bedroom; a well appointed bathroom and a verandah offering incomparable views of the apple orchards and Himalayas. A home-run establishment, all your needs will be attended to by the hospitable Eugsters. They also have a pet dog 'Dimple' - a naughty brat who'll keep you company.

The location is incomparable: At the end of a winding lane that cuts through the mountain, overlooking the Beas river on one side and surrounded by apple orchards and farms. The excellent home-cooked food is prepared fresh by Bholi Devi and Rupert from home-grown organic fruit and vegetables. The views from the cottages alone justify a visit.
