About Us
We find
ourselves very fortunate having our own native place, which usually, these days
is not the case with most of people living in cities.
Beauty of
such place dragged us here to settle down & build new house of our own.
Amidst all
these green mountains, we find peace of mind.
And now,
going one step further, we are glad to share this beauty & peace with our
guests, through our new Home Stay.
