The hosts
We are Meera & Vikram. We left the city a decade ago to restore this home above the Tirthan river — and now we share it with travellers who love the mountains as much as we do. Expect home-cooked Himachali food, bonfires under the stars, and the sound of the river.

About Tirthan Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Tirthan Valley sits inside the buffer of the Great Himalayan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a valley of trout streams, deodar forest and villages that still farm the terraces above the river. Unlike Manali, there is no mall road and no traffic — the entertainment is the walk you take, the river you sit beside, and the food that comes out of the kitchen. Most guests come for two nights and wish they had booked four.
