Wonderful stay!!!!! The owner is very involved in the running of the property and makes sure that everything is perfect for the guests. Very clean, great location and superb staff! We were part of an expedition group, White Magic Adventures, and were certainly given the VIP treatment!

Nestled in lush green surroundings is this carefully maintained property in Uttarkashi & can be a very good halting place while on a Chardham Yatra. One can easily assess & feel the care & concern exhibited by the owner of the place Mr Deependar & the passion with which he has maintained this gem with good supporting staff. Clean & tidy rooms with tasty food options make this property a great choice & can be wholeheartedly recommended for sure.

This is a beautiful oasis just on the outskirts of Uttarkashi. The room was very nicely laid out, clean and had tea and coffee making facilities. The mattress was very comfortable. There are some lovely areas to hang out with friends, particularly the front upstairs balcony and the rooftop area that is above the dining area. The staff offer excellent vegetarian cuisine at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Uttarkashi has urbanised and has more to offer in terms of material comforts since my last review of MTH. However, with a dedicated and small team, Deepender manages to maintain the same great standards of MTH as in 2012 when i first stayed there. We have been staying there almost every year since then, yet standards do not vary except for the better. Keep it up, Deepender!

My family and friends come often to Uttarkashi to head out to the hills. I am happy that I discovered this gem of a place on our first visit. We always stop here now. It is a small but beautiful hotel. The restaurant is an amazing room with glass windows looking our across the river and mountains. On a sunny day, one can sit here with gorgeous views all around, the smell of really good filter coffee and shelves filled with books. The small garden outside has an amazing variety of birds. If that isn't heaven, I don't know what is!

My partner and I stayed in Uttrakashi because we had heard about the incredible scenery. Luckily for us, we found the best place to stay for our trip too. We arrived after a long drive and were met by the owner, Deepandra. He immediately made us feel like he was happy for us to be in the town and staying with him. His enthusiasm was fantastic, and we immediately knew we'd picked the right place. The guest house is clean, pretty, and with fantastic food. We went on a guided walk with Deepandra and had a full day in the stunning mountains, with breakfast and lunch provided on the way. I have lived in India for over a year now and I can honestly say that it was one of the most enjoyable days I have had here. To anyone thinking of exploring this part of the Himalayan foothills, I can unreservedly recommend the Monal guest home - we will return!! Thanks.

I stayed here in October 2017. Mr. Deependar is very professional, friendly and flexible. I could book everything via email without paying a single penny in advance. He said as I am coming from us can may payments once I arrive there.
I had 2 small rooms. Rooms were compact but clean. Reception area/ library had wifi and good view from glass windows.
This hotel is not very far from Main temple and market.

This was my first Stay at Monal Tourist Home. There's no deception, the place is just as lovely as you see in the pics online. I was mesmerized upon reaching this location with the natural beauty of this place. The property has a large open balcony with awesome view of the mountains and Bhagirathi River. The rooms are simple and are very clean. Meals are prepared on request basis. The owner Mr. Deependar is a gem of a person. He's very knowledgeable about his surroundings and gives good advice and support for activities in the area. During our stay, 1 member of our group had a medical emergency while we were on an outing, Mr. Deependar immediately came to our assistance at the location and took us in his private vehicle and made all arrangements for medical assistance. This was much appreciated because having such an incident happen while on vacation and away from your home country can be a challenge. At Monal Tourist Home they treat you like family and attend to you with care. I enjoyed my stay very much and will certainly be visiting soon again.

Hi,
For the past 12 years I'm coming to Uttarkashi for at least a couple of months every year. I know the place very well. I'm not staying in guest houses here because I'm a monk living in Ashrams.
So, even though I've never stayed in Monal as a guest, I know the place very well.
Dipendra, the owner and the director, is an amazing guy who pours his heart and soul into the place and its guests. His secret is so simple: He LOVES the place and the people who come there sincerely. He is not greedy at all. For him it is all about passion, and he is a very passionate about Uttarkashi in general, and Monal in particular...
The rooms are simple but very clean. Monal has the most amazing glass veranda, which functions as a dining room, reception, and Internet cafe (one computer).
The place is small and very homely.
Dipendra is also a mountaineer, and knows the Himalayas like few others do. He'll be happy to take you for a treck, or just to share with you his vast knowledge.
Uttarkashi is not a destination. Most people stop there on their way to Gangotri. But if you're looking for a beautiful, quite place to relax for a week or two, Monal is a perfect place for you. It is located about 2.5km from the bus stand (and if you book in advance Dipendra will come with his little van to pick you up), in a very quite, small village. You can walk up the mountain and find yourself in the most amazing rice fields, where you can have encounters with very friendly locals.
There is also a small ashram about 2 minutes walk from Monal where a very friendly, intelligent Swami (monk) leaves. His name is Swami Janardanananda (but you can just call him Swamiji), and you can hear from him a lot about the place, about spiritual life, and many other things.
I can go on and on writing about this place, but I guess you'll just have to come and see for yourself.
