The Tirthan Eagle Nest

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

Overlooking the Tirthan valley, just in 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 three 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 want to escape the civilization and rejuvenate in the pristine Himalayan Nature, in a very comfortable and family way, far from the crowd.

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 !

Is a stay at our Tirthan Eagle Nest what you are looking for ? 😉

We do not have AC rooms

It is actually not required thanks to the cool air of the Himalayas 

The road does not reach our home

Well, a small road ends 150 meters below. How peaceful is our place !

We do have internet

Internet is good enough for video calls and online meetings. Airtel and Jio offer the best connection.

No room services

It is a homestay, not a hotel. Don’t worry, our hospitability will amaze you !

Where are we ?

The Tirthan Eagle Nest homestay is located in a small Himalayan village just in front of the Great Himalayan National Park at an altitude of 2000 m above sea 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 three 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 built 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 laptops. It has a printer, a kitchenette and a washroom. The Internet can be shared with a Dongle that has a good connection for Zoom meetings or so.

We are proud to say that our homestay has no AC (not required).

The food

Feel 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 at your request, we can also cook some European food with herbs and real cheese.

For the non-vegetarians we can cook mutton (250 INR extra per person) or local trout fish from the Tirthan river (500 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.

How to reach us ?

Firstly you will have to reach the small town of Banjar. You will find extensive information about how to get to Banjar in our tour and trekking website here.

After crossing Banjar on the way to Jalori pass you will need to drive 4 km and then take a left turn on the way to Shringa Rishi (sign). You can’t miss it, there is only one and it is a “pakka” road.  After 4 km again, the road ends, you have reached. You can park your car and we will help carry your luggage to the house which is 150 meters away from the road.
