The stay at Birds n Chirps is something that we will never forget... stayed at this place for 2 days in Dec 2011. Dr. Bhalla and his staff were very warm and friendly. The food was yummy and the place was away from the crowds with good views. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quite vacation out in Dalhousie.

Looking forward to meet Bhalla and his family again sometime in the near future...

Hey all,
Our stay at Birds and Chirps Homestay was just perfect to end our 10 day Holidays in Himachal Pradesh.
Dalhousie is a quaint and serene hill station where the delightful Birds and Chirps Homestay is.
Dr Kanwal Bhalla and Aruna Bhalla are the proud owners and perfect hosts to this lovely property nestled in the mountains at panchkulla a lil away from the crowds in Dalhousie.The climb up hill to the homestay of 100 and more steps feels worthwhile once you get up here and look at the view.However this homestay would be a lil inconvienent to people with joint problems and senior citizens otherwise everything is just perfect about the place.
We learnt Birds and Chirps is named after their daughters.The owners take all efforts to make you feel comfortable and relaxed at their home.
The food at Birds and Chirps is simply mouth watering the best we had in Himachal.
The homestay has a dormitory best suited for college school and group bookings which can house close to 40 people.They also have decent sized twin sharing double rooms for couples and families.
We stayed in a twin sharing room overlooking the majestic mountain ranges ..it was simply magical.
We learnt that Dr Bhalla also organises group treks and night safaries in Dalhousie in summer.Our visit to Dalhousie will always be memorable and wish to come back in the summers to enjoy more of Birds and Chirps.
Kudos to the Bhallas for playing such perfect hosts.Cheers !!!
Love Raja and Bijal Padia.

This place is simply awesome. Checked in on the 2nd of December 2011 and it had been really good. Nestled up far away from the maddening crowds this place gives you privacy and beautiful, green surroundings. The food is simply divine ask Dr B about the paneer bhurji simply out of this world! The water served here is natural spring water with medicinal qualities. Lets face it Dalhousie is pretty limited if you want a great place to stay AND eat great food. If you can brave the 5 minute walk up some steps you will be ver y happy. Punjabis and Delites NO cars don't go right outside your residence so you will have to walk a bit - good for your heart hey??. Really don't bother staying elsewhere this is THE place. I've tried lots of eating places and stayed in a couple hotels and they were really mediocre. Good value for money. Great for solos, couples and small and large groups. They have double rooms and a huge dormitory (with cool coloured lights). Tips - bring some good walking shoes, some good books and some interesting stories to share with Dr B and his wife over chai. Most of all enjoy nature, respect mother earth and throw rubbish in bins. Enjoy!!!!

We are just back from our stay at Birdsnchirps. The place has excellent view, beautiful surroundings and perfectly priced homestay. A definite recommendation from our side. Dr Bhalla's hospitality and the awesome food are no match.
