मेज़बान
We are Prem and Rekha, and Kalga is where we both grew up: the last village under the deodars before the forest takes over the hill. Prem's father built the first cabin from fallen deodar in 1998, the way houses here have always been built, and we added two more beside the orchard. Each one has a bukhari, a wood stove that heats the room and the water kettle on top of it. In the evening the smoke from the three chimneys hangs in the trees, the lamps come on, and that is the whole entertainment. There is signal, mostly. Most guests stop checking it on the second day.

Woodsmoke, a bukhari going all night and nothing but deodars outside the window. Exactly what we came for.

Prem lit the stove before we got back from Pulga. Best sleep of the year.
Emma L. · Melbourne -
Beautiful and very warm inside. The last stretch from Barshaini is a walk, so pack light.
Farah S. · Hyderabad -
Rekha's rajma and the forest at dusk. We stayed two nights longer than we planned.

Kalga, Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh के बारे में
Jibhi is a forest village in the Banjar valley, all deodar cedar, wooden bridges and a stream that runs past most doorsteps. It has become the Himalayas' favourite slow-travel stop without losing the plot — there is a waterfall, a serpentine temple with astonishing woodwork at Chaini Kothi, and a great deal of walking. Nights are cold most of the year, which is exactly why the fire pit gets used.
