Our Story Behind

Rani's Homestay

Rani’s Homestay is a family-run business located in the beautiful state of Himachal Pradesh, India. Our story begins in 1971, when our mother Rani Devi, along with her family, fled to India during the Bangladesh war and took refuge in a camp in Assam. It was there that she met and fell in love with an Army man, who later became her husband. The couple later moved to Himachal, where Rani joined the Himachal Tourism Development Corporation as a utility worker. She served there until her sixties, during which time she met many guests from India and abroad and made them her good friends.

Rani always dreamed of starting her own Homestay, where she could serve her guests in her own way. In 2008, she used a bank loan to turn her personal residence into Rani’s Homestay. Today, Rani’s Homestay is run by Rani’s daughter-in-law, Sonia, and her family. We are dedicated to providing our guests with a warm, welcoming and authentic experience of Himachali hospitality.

Our homestay features traditional Himachali architecture and décor, and we offer a range of comfortable and well-appointed guest rooms. We also serve delicious traditional Himachali delicacies, prepared with organic and locally sourced ingredients.

At Rani’s Homestay, we pride ourselves on offering a true home away from home experience for our guests. Whether you are here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, we will do our best to make sure you have a memorable and enjoyable visit.

    Arvind and his wife were extremely hospitable and efficient. Their newly remodeled homestay was very comfortable. Arvind is a great nature and cultural guide for NW India. We found him exceptionally adaptable and unflappable and solicitous of our enjoyment and the success of our birding trip in NW India. And the price was right.

          Comfortable clean lodging, amazing location, warm and personal welcome, and delicious and plentiful food! Arvind and his family made us feel very much at home. This is a special place. Two rooms each with their own bathrooms, a central shared sitting area, and a full kitchen where delicious meals are created from locally and thoughtfully sourced food. Arvind is a great guide for nearby birding, hiking, and other adventures, and a skilled organizer for other trips further afield.
