This is located in Chalal, you have to trek till here from Kasol. We 3 friends stayed here for one night, there was just one spacious room with a 6*6 bed and an almirah. The temperature was too cold but the room was well insulated. They have a nice verandah where you can chill and do your stuff. It has a nice view. And the flowers and plant in the house add to the nice ambience. Only problem is that the toilet is common and we all guests have to use the same one in the ground floor. Didi who takes care of the house is very helpful, you need to order beforehand if you want lunch/dinner. We also kept our bags here before our trek to Rasol.

I stayed in Rakhas Cafe for 3 days. It's a very peaceful area and you won't find a lot of these wannabe psychedelic people in this cafe(who feels trance or higher bpm music is the only way to chill after smoking up). Personally I loved my stay in Rakhas cafe. Didi who runs the place is very sweet and helpful. Rooms are spacious, 2 people can easily share a room(500rs).

Till date this is the most beautiful homestay I have ever been in. Cozy, with pink walls and flowers everywhere. Even the rooms are cozy with common area in front which again is veryyyyy amazingly set up. They have kept everything simple yet it’s perfect. Menu is limited however still it’s perfect. From the common area above you can see the way to Rasol and Chhalal itself is very colourful village. I cannot stop writing about this place as even the owner Pawna is so soft spoken and sweet. just take a break, rest here, BREATHE, be at peace and then go further. As we did. ww stayed here for two days and it was so pocket friendly as well.
