We were a Group of around 10 on a business trip to Punjab. We stayed for a day at Citrus. The hospitality was very good . The rooms are tents with all modern amenities. The food was amazing , and the breakfast spread was very good . a lot of personal attention and service. Has a lot of orange farms around. Great place to stay and enjoy the nature.

We stayed here for 1 night en route from Amritsar to Dharamshala as part of a tour organised by Audley. We got an air conditioned tent(!) and a very warm welcome from all the family and staff.
We were the only non vegetarians staying and had a fish dish prepared specially for us which we ate outside beside a fire pit. This followed several rounds of horsdoeuvres and was very well cooked. The owner insisted on taking us a tractor tour of his orchards and fields giving a real chance to see a quite different aspect of Indian life- rural Punjab.
We enjoyed our breakfast too.
Citrus County might not be to everyone's taste but we loved it.
The place to stay to experience warm hospitality Ina relaxing rural setting. Our second visit ..love the place! A chance to relax from a busy touring schedule. Wonderful food and a tour of the local village and orange groves. The lads enjoyed their bike ride and we all enjoyed the barbecue under the stars.
We, a group of 8 couples stayed at Citrus County for 3 days in the second week of January 2019. Our host Harkii and his father and mother looked after us personally throughout our stay. It was a great experience travelling by tractor trolley through the fields of Punjab. Every meal was a connoisseurs delight and Harkii was hands on in the kitchen. Sitting around the bonfire every evening, delicious snacks being served and discussions and singing was a true Punjab experience. We plan a yearly visit to this beautiful place, Citrus County.
Comfortable tents, nice ambience, good food, lots of kinnows to pluck/ eat and friendly hosts. We were a bit skeptic while planning on how warm the tents can be in late dec but we found it warm and comfortable. thanks
For my wife's 40th birthday,we decided not to celebrate by doing the run-of-the-mill Goa or Dubai holiday with a bunch of friends, but instead booked ourselves a weekend stay at the Citrus County, a Homestay near Hoshiarpur. I was nervous about the quality of our experience especially since Punjab is not particularly known for its Homestays. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! Citrus County is a delightful gem. This charming Homestay, having nine well equipped and comfortable tents, is very well-run by the husband wife team of Harkirat and Jasween. Harkirat, the quentissential gregarious and fun loving Punjabi, organises wonderful experiences that makes your experience truly memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks with Harkirat in his Orchards, where he described in detail, the several varieties of Citrus fruits being cultivated.
The picnics at their beautiful camp-site were lovely, with delicious food cooked live on traditional mud Chulhas, our boys playing with the farm animals, while we soaked in the beautiful environs and admired the not so distant Shiwaliks. The sumptous meals by the bonfire, gazing at the stars while enjoying a drink, were a perfect end to the splendid day out in the farms. Jasween is the perfect hostess, thoughtful and well organised, and the staff at their Homestay was polite and always eager to help. I also do recommend a visit to Hoshiarpur if one wants to experience a quaint Punjabi town, which is bustling with energy. All in all, a perfect way for us to celebrate my wife's 40th!
