The cost of staying here is about Rs.1300 per head per day. The homestay has six rooms for accommodation.

The major problem with homestays in the hills is that in many cases cars do not reach there and one has to walk up the stay. This homestay is right next to the road and the car will reach right up to the homestay.

Each room here has a balcony, from where a great view of the entire valley is available. There are many more homestays. But each one looks very beautiful and each house has a garden in front of it with different kinds of flower plants. It also has a squash garden.
