Aastha Homestay Sainj - Home Stay in Sainj, Sachen - Kullu, India

This homestay is a true oasis of peace and tranquility. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home in the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hosts are incredibly attentive and go above and beyond to make sure their guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and the food is simply delicious. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating escape.

This was a memorable trip. The location of the homestay is mesmerising. The host family is really warm and very caring. It stands true to its name it really is a homestay. The place is very neat and clean including washrooms. Warm water is available. The food is local homemade meals which is yum served with lots of love. If you are looking for a reflective calming experience don't even think twice to stay here.

If I had to say one thing about Aastha Homestay, It would be BOOK IT! It's one of the most marvellous stays I've lived in considering how warm and hospitable the hosts- Girdhari bhaiya and Deepa bhabhi are and how accommodating their entire family is. You can truly feel their affection pour through their interactions, food, concern regarding your itineary and what not. Village elders and kids would love to escort you once prompted- that's how friendly everyone is. The hosts will go above and beyond to ensure that you are getting to enjoy the best that Upper Neahi has to offer. The food is homely and bhahbi will serve you so generously as if there's no tomorrow! We trekked to Shilathatch, Sarikanda and attended the local festival after which Deepa bhabhi also dressed us in Pattu, the local attire for women. We were assisted by their neighbour, Balkrishna bhaiya who was equally charming and made the trek worth experiening with his interesting narrations of the village's everyday life, history and customs. The people here are so simple and welcoming that a stay less than 3-4 days won't do justice to the visit. The innocence and simplicity of the place will leave you spellbound. PS, leave the place as you've found and respect the nature and culture when you arrive.

A home away from home. It was a surreal experience. It felt like we were at home and safe in a cozy idyllic setting. The people, the food, the generosity everything was amazing. Girdhari bhaiya and Deepa didi welcomed us with a generous heart and Bal Krishan took us for trekking and was one of the best people we could meet. They also dropped us off at Pundrik Rishi Lake and carried our pieces of luggage. They have become our second family. The place is a must-visit if you want to be in peace and nature.

I found this homestay while I was checking out places in Sainj on Google map. I am a solo traveler and Aastha gave me so much warmth. If you do not like touristy places. Upper neahi is the best place to visit. Locals are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of hikes nearby. Consider staying here for at least 3-4 days.

A perfect Home away from Home. The host Girdhari bhai and Deepa bhabhi are so warm and they make you feel like a part of family. This place is away from city and commercial surrounding, it is perfect for someone who prefer lot's of greenery with amazing view of sunset, sunrise, birds chirping and farms. They serve food with lot's of love and GHEE. Would love to go back to the village again. Thank you for being so amazing. Aastha homestay is a perfect place for meditation and peace of mind.

Beautiful homestay in a gorgeous valley run by the warmest people. Staying here will make you feel like you're visiting family in the best way.

Visited in October 2022.. The warmth, open heartedness, generosity and concern shown by the entire family was a beautiful experience. They were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere of the quiet, quaint and remote village was dreamy and traditional. The food cooked at home was delicious and kept you wanting for more which the hosts kept serving you until there was no scope left to eat even one more bite!! :D The stay was made as comfortable as possible with attention given to what we were needing from the trip for ourselves. It was a lovely, private, homely, noise free, nestled in nature, slow, one of a kind, in the lap of Nature kind of vacation in Aastha Homestay. There were lush farms right outside the balcony and i was tempted to learn a thing or two about farming skills. Missed the annual Festival of the village by a day but now there's something to look forward to for next time. Truly grateful to Mahi & Girdharilalji and their entire family (and extended family) for the love, care and affection they showered on us with abundance.
