We stayed with Kshitij (host) and his family at Whispering palm during October 17-31. We were 6 of us 4 adults and 2 kids (ranging from 60 year old to 4 year old) and had booked the place for its location and home like feeling. We must say that we enjoyed every moment of staying there. We stayed in the 2 rooms near the balcony side and view from the balcony was beautiful – hill with Pine trees and flower plantations. Property had all basic amenities that a comfortable homestay should have. It is 2 minutes walk from a beautiful, serene Nap Damayanti taal – a home for small fishes and a natural swimming area if one prefers to swim. There’s a Shiva temple right next to taal. There are many good nurseries with beautiful flower plantations around.
Kshitij and his family treated us like their own family and did everything to make our stay comfortable. This included taking care of us during the flood situation between Oct 17-20. The region lost electricity for almost 2 days and mobile signals for 4 hours, but good care from Kshitij, his family and neighbourhood ensured that we remained as comfortable as one could be in those situations – be it getting grocery, vegetables, cleaning, or arranging emergency supplies like candles, diyas etc. Special kudos to Rakesh (his younger brother) for helping in anything we needed.
Kshitij is well connected in the region and also helped us with Taxi booking and sight seeings. Nearby grocery shops from Ranjeet Singh Ji and Negi Ji were super helpful.
Kshitij, Rakesh – many many thanks from all of us to make our stay memorable and comfortable. Looking forward to have another wonderful staycation with you all soon 🙂
