The Tirthan Eagle Nest

With a lot of love and patience we have made a very special house …

Overlooking the Tirthan valley, just front of the Great Himalayan National Park, perched on the edge of a forest covered mountain, the Tirthan Eagle Nest is a haven of peace, in a unique environment.

Build in local stones in the middle of apple orchards we are a real homestay with only two comfortable bedrooms for our guests. We are like your family, not like your staff. 🙂   You stay with us to share a bit of our Himalayan life !

The Tirthan Eagle Nest is the best choice for those who wants to escape the civilization and to rejuvenate in the pristine Himalayan Nature, in a very comfortable and family way.

We also run Himalayan Ecotourism, a reputed tour and trekking company which is a social enterprise working in the ecozone of the Great Himalayan National Park. We have a lot of fascinating stories to tell you !

Where are we ?

The Tirthan Eagle Nest homestay is located in a small Himalayan village just front of the Great Himalayan National Park at an altitude of 2000 m above see level in the Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh.

Lying amidst apple orchards, very close to dense Deodar forest we are a haven of peace in an exceptional natural environment.

Our position 600 m above the Tirthan river offers a unique view of the entire Tirthan valley, from the Shrikhand Mahadev snow-capped peak to the Beas river. And so we called our homestay the Tirthan Eagle Nest.

Our facilities

We are a real homestay with only two double rooms available for our guests. The beds are king size and can then accommodate a child with his/her parents. A single extra bed can be arranged in the rooms. Bathrooms are attached to the bedrooms.

The house is build in stones and the interior work has been done with wood and cob. This ensures a very healthy and pleasant atmosphere inside.

You have free access to the dining room, the living room, the wooden balcony and the organic garden. You can also enjoy our rich books library, our board games, our Spanish guitar and our digital piano.

We also have an office room attached to the home. It is ideal to work in peace and attend online meetings. Three to four people can sit with their laptop. It has a printer, a kitchenette and a washroom. Internet can be shared with a Dongle that has a good connection for Zoom meeting or so.

We are proud to say that our homestay has no AC (not required) and no television (just watch from the window to see the living nature).

The food

Feel like at home. We are cooking healthy food that we are all sharing, including our children. Traditional Indian food is what we do best here but on your request we can also cook some European food with herbs and real cheese.

For the non-vegetarian we can cook mutton (200 INR extra per person) or local trout fish from the Tirthan river (400 INR extra per person). We avoid chicken as the Indian chicken industry has become something that goes beyond the limit of our ethics.

Breakfast are continental or Indian.

Please communicate your preferences at least two days before reaching.
