What a great place to stay, the owner was so nice and I thoroughly recommend it. The rooms were private, quiet and incredibly clean. We had access to a kitchen with good drinking water and a fridge so we could cook our own meals occasionally. The long walk up the hill might be a negative for some people but after... More

This place is meant for those seeking solitude. Its away from Dharamsala and travelling to and fro from this place is difficult. It is located ahead of Dharamkot. But from Dharamkot the road to this place is very narrow, steep, hardly motorable, so if you are travelling by road on your own or in your own car, beware. The view... More

It was great to stay in the more peaceful hills above Bhagsu than in the middle of the action. It is a steep climb up the stairs but well worth the effort for the view. It's not totally peaceful. We had a room near the kitchen which was noisy on a couple of nights with people preparing and cleaning up... More

Awesome guest house in the hills above Mccleodganj. I am sure our trip would not have been as peaceful had it not been for the little home in the hills of Heini. A short walk brought us to all the restaurants of the surrounding towns, the waterfall and the path up to Triund. You will get your exercise, but that... More

We have stayed in Jagatram twice now and will definitely be back. You could find cheaper places to stay, but it still is amazing value for money. Breathtaking views, excellent completely peaceful location above Bhagsu, lovely family always willing to help with whatever questions or requests the guest might have, good food, clean rooms and bathrooms. We can also highly... More

Large, clean rooms; a very friendly family; excellent food which is great value; breathtaking views. This is a fantastic place to stay with a real family atmosphere. It is located in the hamlet of Heini which can be reached either from Bhagsu vis a set of steps (20 minutes up, 15 minutes down) or if your tuc tuc driver is... More

Stayed here because of the reviews on this site, and was not disappointed. Rooms are some of the best value (furnishings, finishing and comfort-wise) that I've stayed at in India. Quite a hike to get back here each day - you should not stay here if you are very unfit or if you have trouble getting around - but it... More

The rooms are very clean, cozy and comfortable with... More

The rooms are quite basic, as you would expect for the price, but very clean and tidy, with hot water that worked (very hard bed though!). It was nice to have use of the kitchen for making tea. Meals were simple but tasty and good value. The place is peaceful, up high on the steps from Bhagsu, away from the... More

Thank you very much for your review. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay at Jagatram Niwas and would be delighted to welcome you back in the future. Regarding the trek to Triund, we always advise our guests to take a guide, as we know that, unfortunately, accidents occur every year involving unaccompanied trekkers. Having said that, we respect...

The first time we tried a home-stay, was the most memorable experience in our whole trip. Only wish we had planned a longer stay there. Certainly one of those places you would wish to visit again.
