In an 1890s structure overlooking mountains and valleys, this unassuming guesthouse is 1.75 km from Mcleoadganj main square and 3 km from Dalai Lama Temple. The 5 pared-down rooms come with kitchenettes and en-suite bathrooms. A garden with outdoor furniture offers mountain and valley views. Facilities for BBQs and bonfires are also available. Other amenities include Wi-Fi and parking.
“Hello! My name is Rohit and I’m excited to be your host. Before starting with hosting in 2019, I was working as a financial planner in the corporate sector in MNC’s in Delhi. After doing a job for 5 years, I came back to my ancestral place to start my work and became a host. I love my work of hosting and making sure that my guests have a comfortable stay. In my free time, I enjoy 1. I do provide trekking facilities to my guest. 2. I love to make log furniture. 3. Love to restore antiques. 4. cooking for my guest.
