“Stunningly beautiful” and “magical as ever” are just the two right phrases to describe the newly emerging tourist destination- Tirthan valley in Himachal. Tirthan valley perfectly defines “beauty in simplicity” with its gigantic Himalayas, lush greenery, and colored roofs, which produce a heavily scenery like nothing comparable. Tirthan valley is not only a haven for bird lovers, but also a paradise for trekkers as it offers enormous trekking opportunities. Horangad is a tiny village in the valley with amazing natural beauty.
This traditional house is made from wood, mud, and stone in Kathkuni architecture and can be reached through a 15-minute walking trail to the village Horangad in Tirthan Valley. Set amidst a dense forest and fruit orchards, it is an ideal place to unravel from the monotony of big cities and overflowing tourist getaways. The place is peacefully secluded and offers a true organic living experience with a touch of modernness.
It is a double-storey house with 2 family suite rooms with an attached balcony and a big courtyard. Both rooms have a 360-degree view of the mountains. There are also two separate kitchens to cater to both the rooms individually but only for long stays. The owner also stays on the property but in a separate space. It is a paradise for birders, hikers, artists, yoga enthusiasts and just anybody who loves to witness nature in sheer silence and peace. Don’t forget to visit the family of Peacock’s living at the homestay when you plan to visit.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a homely atmosphere in the mountains. The homemade meals were a treat, and the Sunit bhai recommendation for local remote places added to the overall experience. I must say it was an absolute delight!!

Nestleaway is an offbeat mountain home located in the heart of Tirthan valley. This home is surrounded by orchards and has 360 views of the mountains. They serve home cooked meals with authentic Pahadi cuisine; they also bake awesome pizzas and burgers. do ask for the same. There are a lot of trails and treks around the home and the village. The host is welcoming and has tremendous knowledge of the area and culture, do ask him for few off beat locations around the valley.
