Bungalow In Apple Orchard by Meena Bagh

This 4 bedroom bungalow sits bang in the middle of an apple orchard. It is far from the madding crowd of Himachal’s hill towns. It is suitable for those looking for seclusion, tranquility, nature and space (both indoors and outdoors) and the surreal experience of living in an Himachali home in the middle of an  apple orchard which has  4 different farm animals.  (cats, dogs, sheep and chicken). The tariff is on MAP basis. (Breakfast and Veg Dinner inclusive)  Non-veg and snacks can also be ordered.

The bungalow has two bedrooms on the first floor  with attached bathrooms. Encircling them are large lounging and living areas with single beds and settees to accommodate more people. On the ground floor are two more bedrooms with attached bathrooms.

The bungalow is great for family get togethers, reunions, parties etc. There is a sun-room with skylights adjoining the kitchen. One can bask in the sun here throughout the day. The sunroom also has a fireplace.

Because it is in the middle of an orchard, one has to walk about 150 meters through the apple orchard to reach it from the road.

The Apple Orchard House is also suitable for bird-watching (or bird photography). The property also has a telescope and can be put to good use scanning the clear night skies.

The bungalow is in one of the Himalayan villages famous for apple orchards -where the locals engage in intensive apple farming. It is a prosperous but closed society therefore respecting local sentiments would be appreciated.

The village market is a kilometre away and has few provision stores stocking the usual daily needs items. The closest big town is Narkanda, 17kms away.

If you are a good trekker you can trek upto the famous Hatu Peak ( 4km trek one way.) Alternatively one can go on small treks to the adjoining forest five minutes walk away.
