The house

A guesthouse in a hilltop village, run by the two people who live in it

OmiHomeStay sits in Dharamkot — a cedar-forest village above McLeod Ganj, where the Triund trail begins. Rooms are simple and bright: new white linen, hot showers, a desk by the window. Downstairs, our café cooks home-style Indian food; upstairs, the terrace looks across the Kangra valley.

Sergey & Vinod

«I came to India and stayed. Dharamkot captured me from day one — cedar forests, silence, ancient temples, warm people. With Vinod we built OmiHomeStay the way we'd want to be hosted ourselves.»

Someone is always around for check-in, trek advice, taxi bookings, or a second chai.
