This was my second visit to the Trout House in 3 years and the experience was nostalgic, sublime and at times transcendental. The valley is developing and progressing at a rapid pace, however the TH experience still remains the same. The hosts, Christopher and Shefali are just wonderful. They indulged me with epicurean cusine, live music, industry standards lodging, maps and directions to remote areas to visit, local folklore and fables. A week was not enough and I already have the blues. Cannot wait to revist with the family. A big, big hug to the hosts and THANK YOU for giving me this wonderful experience.

I visited this place with my friends after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. We were super excited about the menu items and we ended up ordering around 6 dishes. To my surprise the only palatable thing on the table was Coke. I had decently high expectations for Trout but it turned out to be extremely dry and bland. Also in their salami & cheese sandwich used Mayo instead of Cheese. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends back home.

Response from Christopher Mitra, General Manager at Himalayan Trout House
Responded 1 May 2022
Weren't you the guys who walked away `forgetting ' to pay and had to be tracked down a day later...and then perhaps your obvious penchant for a coke and junk food has thrashed your taste buds to a state that that is all you can taste.. you seem to be one of those little men who walk around using social media as a weapon but if you read through this thread you will see that you belong to a sad minority of disgruntled visitors.

The sound of gurgling river water. A spacious and impeccably clean room. Peace and quiet. Gracious hosts. Great trout recipes. And, opportunity to fish for trout. Guided by an expert -Christopher, the host. What more can you ask for? Me? None.

When we had booked HTH, we had anticipated it to be a resort or hotel. However, we found out only later that this is a guest house. Make no mistake, this place has a certain vibe that’s hard to ignore. The evenings spent in the restaurant are its USP amongst other things which are star gazing and enjoying nature. The HTH is situated in the lap of nature and you can hear the roar of the river all day long sitting on the verandah or watching the hills, forests and cultivation fields. We did observe that this place is frequented by many repeat customers. Owners are cooperative and they arranged a room for my senior citizen mother in the main house when she found the stairs too difficult for her to climb to the Mud huts. However we felt that this place has fallen into disrepair and lacks in the quality of infrastructure and service. • Contrary to the rates charged for a stone cottage (Rs 4500 per night – without breakfast), the room is very basic. Basic furniture – and that where it ends. When compared with the less than 4000 Johnson Hotel at Manali or similar priced BNR Chanakya at Ranchi – this return you get on payment is abysmally low. No tea coffee machine. The Television doesn’t work. A single geyser is shared between 2 rooms. There was an avoidable smell in the bathroom for the entire duration we were staying. In the stone cottages where we stayed, our sleep was time and again impacted by a noise. • Room cleaning wasn’t done on the next day. • I had heard of their chicken sizzlers and steaks. But when compared to the steaks I had at Johnson hotel or in Calcutta’s Mocambo, this was poorly cooked. The sauce in the sizzlers is tasty, yet the overall dish cuts a sorry figure. The day when we had lunch – famished after a hike and had ordered dal, chicken curry, salad and rice. Both the dal and chicken had an unfamiliar smell that turned off our appetite. When we asked the cook, he said that since there was no coriander, so he put parsley in them!…

We had a super room, overlooking the Tirthan river, as this property is superbly located right beside this scenic river. The food at The Himalayan Trout House is simply amazing. It is of top notch quality and is nothing short of gourmet quality. Christopher and Shefali Mitra, the owners, ensure that each and every guest is attended to, and their staff always give one a most personalised service. Most evenings Christopher and his son strum their guitars and sing for their guests. It is so much fun. One just has to go back to this little heaven again and again!

We stayed for a third time at Christopher's small "Eco" resort, bang in front of the Tirthan river in the beautiful Valley by the same name. He is expanding the property and we do wish to explore the new rooms... PROs + the hosts keeping you company in the evenings + the food options and the kitchens + the rooms (stone cottage are as good as the cedar lodges) + location, and 2-3 local sightseeing options make it ur day CONs - the clay wood oven opens up late and have always missed the pizza thence

What a beautiful property! We stayed for two nights in July. The rooms are great and the amenities are fantastic. Hot showers, cable tv with english speaking channels and comfortable beds. Chris is a fine host, and talented on the guitar. Our impromptu jam was a highlight of our trip

This is fantastic restaurant with cosy outdoor dining. The garlic ( and other fresh herbs) trout was out of this world. The salad too was a creative mix of cucumber, fresh herbs including fennel freshly picked from garden and mixture of vegetables with tasty dressing. The chef must have gourmet training:)

If you like fishing or would like to learn it, The Himalayan Trout House should be on your list. We went to the place with our friends who are regulars at the trout house. The place was as promised. Christopher and Shefali run this beautiful property and host their guests with love, care and warmth. For us, the day started with a heavy delicious, four course breakfast. It kept us filled for our day of adventures- trekking, fishing and exploring. The evenings were full of fun and flavour. While Shefali made us drool over Rava trout fish (caught by my friends), Christopher gave us company with his music. The rooms are comfortable, well-equipped, with beautiful views. The staff is extremely professional and courteous. They go the extra mile to make you comfortable. We had a wonderful relaxed yet adventurous holiday.…
