Good to know

Stay questions

We work with eleven stays. Nine are in our own Himalayan Discovery network: Hotel Sarahan Inn in Sarahan; The Shambhu Lodge and Hotel Legendary Rupin River View in Rakchham, Sangla valley; Hotel White Nest, Hotel Royal Voyages and Hotel Him Paradise in Kalpa; The Delek House and Hotel Palvey Kaza in Kaza; and Chanshal Camps & Resort near Rohru in the Pabbar valley. Two are partner hotels we know well: The Tiger Inn in Tabo and Hotel Woodcrista in Kufri. Because we deal with each property directly, we can hold rooms ahead of every batch, including in peak season. Each hotel has its own page with photos, room types and rates.
