What People are Saying
There are beautiful trails to explore, meadows to wander through, and a breathtaking view of the river that I never got tired of. We even discovered a hidden river spot with the help of a few kind-hearted locals — everyone around here is friendly, but in a wonderfully non-intrusive way that makes you feel at ease.
The food is a whole experience in itself — we got to try some unique local dishes that I probably wouldn’t have found anywhere else. There’s still so much left to explore, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. A perfect retreat for both pets and their people. 🐾🌿💚
Best part no tourist crowd near the property.
It’s a quaint and cosy heritage wooden cottage, nestled in an apple orchard with only the bird calls and the sound of the waterfall to keep you company.
Run like clock work by the young dynamic, and super helpful and knowledgeable owner Yuvresh and his small and efficient team, this no frills yet teeming with personality place grows into a home surprisingly quickly.
Desraj uncle’s humble, homely food, company of like minded folks, beautiful treks and accessible pristine spots make the stay at “Gaddi Trails” into a wholesome and soul satisfying experience.
The remoteness of the location is a boon in disguise as it leads to inventiveness in the kitchen and otherwise. The wood fired pizza made from scratch was hands down the best home made pizza we have ever had, and the taste of the fresh trout tawa grilled will linger forever in my memory.
We are already thinking of planning to visit again soon and for longer! This time it was for a week and it flew!
The region is unique, the lodge is very well-taken care of, and there are small towns nearby with shops if you need toiletries etc. This is a perfect spot if you are working remotely and want some quiet and fresh air. It is also a perfect stop for a vacation in the mountains.
