“The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.”

I am a very open person.
I respect every religion and culture.
I'm ready to try different food and drinks.
I would like to hear your amazing travel stories and plans.
I think a good conversation makes us a better human.
I like to do adventure activities, hiking, cycling, swimming.

I try to travel to different places and explore cultures and people. My goal is to make this world as global village where everyone is ready to help or atleast reply to others so I will always reply to each and every one at earliest.

I am blessed to be born in the Himalayas, i live my life here in the mountains. I am a horticulturist, i work and manage my apple orchard. I believe, we should always protect our nature.

🇧🇹🇳🇵🇰🇿🇺🇿🇷🇺🇸🇨🇲🇻🇹🇭🇻🇳🇦🇿🇨🇵🇵🇱🇮🇹🇨🇭🇩🇪🇱🇺🇧🇪🇰🇷

When I'm sending you a request then i hope to just stay for 1 or 2 days, I don't use this for free stays rather i believe it's an amazing place to meet wonderful people and learn from each other.

If you need anything from my place or country, then let me know i will definitely bring it for you as a gift, if it's not too costly😅

I have lived and travelled across India, so if you need any help in my country, i would guide you or if possible might join you.

|| Hosting Mode 🔛 ||

After hosting for too long, I have made a few rules like-

1. I won't accept request unless you are in Himachal Pradesh as maximum people don't turn up.( If you are foreigner, then you can send me request in advance as you need to plan few things in advance.)

2. Topmost preference will be given to those who have earlier hosting experience or has helped other travelers.

3. If your request, copy and paste then i will rejected it with big NO.

4. If you can cook your local dish then you are most welcome.

5. If you are interested in trekking, then we will have to plan at least 1 week in advance.

6. I'm quite busy till Nov due to apple season so I will only host for 1 night, if possible.

7. As I'm busy with my field work, so I will meet and recieve you either after 8 p.m. or early morning.

8. Last but most important, if I feel that you are requesting just for the transit purpose, I will reject your request.

If I can't host you, then I will help you with suggestions

If you are at my area, i would definitely meet you and clear all your doubts and help you in your travel planning.

My place is in Reckong Peo town with an amazing view of snow clad Kinnaur Kailash mountains throughout the area. This is the district headquarter of Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh.
It is around 250 km from Shimla, 205 km from Kaza (Spiti) so it acts as transit station if you are travelling from Shimla to Spiti or vice-versa.

Must visit places near my place-
1. Kalpa- one of the most beautiful heritage village, 7km from Reckong Peo.
2. Kinnaur Kailash Yatra ( August)
3. Chitkul-First Village of India, must visit, 3 hrs away
4. List goes on, text me to know more..

Note- Foreigners need Inner Line Permit to enter Upper Kinnaur and Spiti. You can easily apply here in Reckong Peo.

Don't write any references, if I haven't hosted you. I want my references to be related to guest experience or host experience with me.
