Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Bathād

Very good breakfast, that is a very beautiful place

Breath-taking location! (heart of the valley, right beside the river). The host (Tarun) was very helpful with all great recommendations! The hospitality was top notch and the food was also very homely and delicious.

One of the most unique and memorable stays I’ve had in the mountains. The Social Stays at Tirthan Valley perfectly blends nature, comfort, and hospitality — but the highlight of the experience was undoubtedly the food. Every meal felt thoughtfully curated, both in presentation and taste. The way the food was displayed and served was genuinely exceptional, something you would expect from a luxury boutique retreat rather than a mountain stay. From beautifully plated local dishes to comforting meals, every dining experience felt special. The property itself has an amazing vibe — peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hospitality from the hosts and staff made the experience even better. Everyone was warm, attentive, and passionate about making guests feel at home. If you appreciate places that focus on experience, atmosphere, and incredible food, The Social Stays is a hidden gem in Tirthan Valley. Highly recommended, and definitely a place I would love to visit again.

Great location, tastefully done interiors. Amazing hospitality, would recommend wholeheartedly.

I don’t know where to start to tell how wonderful my stay was at Tirthan Ecostay! The amazing hospitality, amazing FOOD!!!, the serenity of the area, the warm welcome from the near by villages, and of course the View… No words can explain… It is truly a magical place. Just a wee drive up the hill from Gushaini village. The road was perfectly good for my scooty. The real heartfelt homestay experience. Thank you so very much, Virender and the family for the beautiful time. Can’t wait to come back and to see you all again in the near future.

I had a fantastic stay at The Woods; in fact, it was the highlight of my trip to Himachal. The property is lovely, with lovely rooms and bathrooms, and sitting on the wooden verandah having tea or a meal looking at the mountains is a real delight. Ramakant and team made delicious homemade meals upon request, all at a very reasonable price. They also have a lovely carpeted dining room that I ate in when eating dinner after dark. As mentioned by other reviewers, the property is literally at the start of the walk to the Great Himalayan National Park gate, which is a fabulous walk along the river, including a couple of waterfalls (one along the route, the other a short additional detour; ask Ramakant for his hand-drawn map!). For anyone not familiar with the area (I'm not; I'm visiting from London, UK), I had been recommended to visit Gushaini but I didn't realise that Gushaini village itself isn't a great place to stay; you will almost certainly want to stay at a homestay guesthouse in the surrounding area. With this in mind, "The Woods" is possibly the most convenient option; it's just 2km from Gushaini; a taxi will cost INR 200, or you can walk, as I did (it's a slightly uphill walk from Gushaini to The Woods; downhill walking back to Gushaini). Many of the other guesthouses are much further away. As a visitor from overseas, I have been finding it difficult to find a place of peace and quiet, with no cars honking their horns, no trash, and few people. I found places like Jibhi, Kasol, Manali etc. all a bit disappointing for this reason. The Woods in Gushaini / Ropa is one of the few places on my travels in Himachal where I found tranquility; it really was a place where I could enjoy nature and relax. I highly recommend a stay at The Woods. Great location, great property, great people. Many thanks, Ramakant and team, for an experience that I will always remember.
