The property was clean, well organized and the staff was very helpful and polite. We had dinner there - chicken curry, aaloo gobhi, dal tadka and rotis- and the food was really tasty and home like. The view from the balcony is beautiful and serene. And one can see both the sunset and sunrise.

I knew exactly that I had arrived at the right place when the owners greeted me in the living room. Full of bird pictures. They are extremely knowledgeable about the birds of India and also of the region. Rapidly, they helped me to organize the whole week of bird. Watching in the area in a guide was available immediately. I have never seen a lodge that is so affordable for bird watching. The owners were constantly in touch with a guide throughout the day to ensure a smooth visit and also, that I would be able to see all the characteristic birds of the area. It is also possible to eat in the morning for lunch and dinner for a very reasonable price because the food is cooked freshly before each meal. The lodge hires local people that they trained into guides. .The bedrooms are comfortable and have a very good size and the bathroom even has hot water. They are specialists of all the birds of india and I would definitely come back to visit other parts of india with them

Manika Homestay, Soangaon, Bhimtal – A Home Away from Home! If you’re planning a trip to Bhimtal, look no further than Manika Homestay. Nestled in the charming village of Soangaon, this cozy little retreat has everything you need to unwind and feel at home. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming vibe of the place won us over. The breakfast here deserves a special mention! It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience. Freshly prepared and brimming with flavors, the food had a home-cooked charm that’s hard to beat. You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and the attention to detail was heartwarming. The staff and caretakers were amazing—super helpful, friendly, and always there to make sure we were comfortable. It felt less like staying at a guesthouse and more like being part of a big, happy family. Our room? Oh, it was perfect! Waking up to a breathtaking mountain view right outside our window was the best part. Add to that the serene scenic beauty of the valley, and it’s hard not to fall in love with this place. The surrounding greenery, chirping birds, and peaceful vibes make you want to pause time and just soak it all in. The owners, a kind and generous young couple, truly made the stay memorable. Their hospitality was unmatched, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. It’s rare to come across hosts who treat their guests like old friends—these two nailed it! One of the highlights of our stay was the wholesome barbecue night. The homestay provides a barbecue facility, and it was an absolute hit. Sitting under the starry sky, enjoying delicious grilled treats, and sharing stories by the fire—it was everything you’d want in a perfect getaway evening. In short, Manika Homestay is not just a place to stay; it’s a wholesome experience. If you’re looking for stunning views, heartfelt hospitality, and unforgettable memories, this is the spot for you. Can’t wait to come back! 🌟 Thank you, lovely host🥰

Lovely stay that I would gladly recommend to all. It was hard to believe that a 100 year old house could be converted into a beautiful stay with modern comforts. The house is actually at one edge of a fruit orchard. The magestic himlayan view was outstanding from my room. Everything was neat and clean and comfortable. One of the highlights for me was the attached bathrooms which have a natural look and have light coming in through a sun roof. The delicious food served was a mix of local Kumaoni dishes and regular North Indian dishes. Sunder ji, the owner of the property was present on site. He and the caretaker, Bhupal Singh ji made sure our stay was very comfortable. They also guided us and provided all the information on places of interest and the easy hikes nearby. Overall, Tranquil Peaks was a great experience. Highly recommended!
