Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Hosted by the beautiful couple Nitika - Srikanta and their furry child Dona, Samsara Farmstay is exactly how you would imagine a house in the mountains. Every corner of the stay as described by the hosts, truly is made with a lot of love and art. The food prepared by Mamta didi and Nitika are homely and extremely sumptuous, while the workshops help you enter the world of creativity and flow. Samsara is not just a stay but an experience that nourishes your mind, body and soul.

The most quaint simply beautiful homestay, it was love at first sight when I saw the place online and loved it even the more when I visited and stayed for a week, hosts Srikanth and Nitika were truly kind, generous, warm people and ofcourse the charm of the house Dona the dog. I landed on Holi day and was welcomed with colours.. i had gone without an itinerary, they helped me plan my days and all the activities. One day they even took me to a small village called Rumsu for a fare nearby which was memorable. Food was delicious stay was warm sights were pleasant:) definitely must visit this place.. CAUTION!!! "Don't believe the pictures, the place is way better, even more beautiful than what you see in pictures 😍💗"

My experience at Samsara was just phenomenal. Stayed here for close to 19 days and it was the perfect mountain time I needed. Located in a picturesque village away from the noise and humdrums of touristy places, yet easily approachable. The place is setup with so much heart, every corner is thoughtfully done and all the small little elements make the place what it is. The hosts, loveliest floof- Donna and Namita didi all made sure my stay was comfortable and made me feel at home. Apart from cosy rooms and beautiful setting, they also have a amazing pottery studio, I had the pleasure of taking a session at. DefiniTely recommend to everyone!

I recently had the misfortune of booking a home stay run by Shrikant and Nitika in Naggar, and it was a complete disaster. The photos online were misleading, and the actual property was shabby and unclean. The linen was dirty, and the toilets were shared, which was not mentioned in the description.
The host's behavior was also unprofessional and greedy. They demanded payment immediately after we arrived, without even offering us water after a long walk in the sun. They had the audacity to force us to pay for two days (Rs 5600/-) despite us not staying for even a minute. The hosts claim that the property is 100 m from the main road which isn’t the case. You have to walk at least half a Km on a dingy, muddy road.
The online rates were double the actual price, and the host tried to take advantage of us by making book directly with them. I would advise others to be cautious and book online as well, as the rates are half the price.
The hosts, Shrikant and Nitika, are outsiders from Delhi, and their service was appalling. I suspect their high online ratings are fake, posted by their friends. I would strongly advise against staying at this property. Instead, opt for home stays run by local people in Naggar, who are more genuine and welcoming.
In summary, this home stay is a perfect example of "looks can be deceiving." The photos and ratings online are misleading, and the actual experience is subpar. Save your money and energy, and avoid this property at all costs

Samsara Homestay is a hidden treasure! The building's design is straight out of a fairy tale, with attention paid to every single detail. It's a serene retreat where you can find solace and draw inspiration from the beautiful art and surroundings. The homemade meals are an absolute delight, offering a taste of home-cooked perfection.
The host at Samsara was also wonderful, making sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their kindness added to the charm of this enchanting place. I highly recommend Samsara Homestay for anyone looking for a magical getaway.

Samsara Farmstay is a magical place. I stayed there for a week to do the pottery course and could have stayed for ages. Srikant and Nitika have created a beautiful place with great attention to detail. The rooms are incredibly cosy and offer plenty of space for retreat and relaxing evenings. Nitika has ignited my passion for pottery. She is a great teacher with lots of patience and explains everything you want to know. The farmstay is not far from the main road, which means it's easy to get around on foot. In search of peace and relaxation, however, I didn't even felt the need to leave the farm so much. Since the surrounding landscape is so beautiful I imagine there must be countless great tracks in the area. I enjoyed my stay immensely and will definitely come back to Samsara one day. Thank you so much Nitika and Srikant!

The hosts, Srikant and Nikita, are wonderful and go above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
We had a fantastic hike to a scenic mountain viewpoint, with Srikant as our guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the town and surrounding areas, which made the experience even more memorable.
The homestay truly felt like a warm and welcoming home. Nikita prepared delicious organic meals that we thoroughly enjoyed. The property offers stunning views, a charming garden, and the delightful company of their lovely pet dog, Dona.
This homestay is highly recommended for anyone seeking a relaxing and peaceful getaway with healthy organic food, away from the hustle and bustle of Manali or other crowded areas.

Samsara is easy to reach from naggar town. There are buses, auto and cab service available. Since I travelled in May the roses were in full bloom and looked nothing short of a fairytale when l walked in. The rooms are clean and neat. The bathroom is separate and spacious. The room l stayed in had an attic which made it all the more exciting. The windows opened directly to the mountains and one could see stars peeping inside when it's not cloudy.
It does full justice to the term farmstay. You can find fruits and vegetables that includes spinach, strawberry, cherry, beetroot, carrots, onion, tomato, coriander and all things healthy and leafy. Go for a morning walk and request for a tour.
If you are someone who wants to do solo then this place will make it a worthy trip. Oh, did l mention about Donna? She is the most adorable and friendly pet to ever exist. PS: The food is tasty too.

We stayed in the month of March 2022 at Samsara Farms and it's beauty is more than our expectation. From food to scenic beauty to hosts to Dona (pet) to pahadi people to nearby natural attractions, everything was so dreamy. We really loved our stay cum workcations. It was our home away from home. Srikant and Nitika both were so down to earth people with whom we really felt the connection and not to forget our late night experience sharing sessions. We wish to come back again as soon as possible.

Had an amazing time in Samsara. I went by myself and stayed there 3 days. Srikant and Nitika are so welcoming and the food was so simple and yet so delicious. Had cherry from trees and the place is full of nature in and around. Also not to forget they designed the places creatively and you are going to love every art work out there. Bhut hi zyada fun and calm place.
