Exceptional location. Newly constructed place, hosts are very warm and welcoming, they do their best in serving and preparing food and snacks. Because the location is far from busy areas or markets. Carry your own snacks and beverages of choice.

We had absolutely fantastic food from a super gracious host. Overall, we loved the property, its location and everything there was to offer. For typical tourists, this place does not have much really. But for a traveller, this is a simple, tiny village with lots of apple orchards, beautiful sunset points, and an amazing bunch of people. You can walk about, talk to people, and just enjoy the place. We also saw a milkyway - which was a big plus. Above all, the hosts, Mr. Suresh Chauhan and his wife were incredible people. They took really good care of us and we stayed at their cosy home for about a week.
Biting cold, there aren't any shops nearby as well - so please come prepared. We personally loved this, but some can find it troublesome. Please note: This place is about 12km away from Kotkhai in a village called Padara.

It was my first experience at home stay. Zostel home Kotkhai will definitely made it one of the life's best experience of stay with nice family near their Apple orchards.
It is situated in quite lonely and small village. If someone expect hustle and crowded places. This place is not for them. This place is to stay and relaxed. But they still have some trek and activities to do but you need time for that.

Host Mr. Suresh is awesome. Helped us out during the entire stay. Thanks to him and his family for his hospitality. The homemade food was excellent and giriganga is nearby (an excellent trek).
Nothing to be honest. Everything was good.

10.0 / 10.0
The location is extremely offbeat and ideal for people looking to stay away from the city noise. The property accommodates lesser people than standard zostels but that works great as only a select few would travel those extra miles away from Theog. The host is literally great and goes out of the way to provide with great food and hospitality.
The travel should ideally be done when the sun is still out as even GMaps needs help to reach the place. Further, if you are a liquor person carry both liquor and chasers in advance with you as there are no stores around the place.
