Shangarh Kothi

About this hotel

Shangarh Kothi offers an immersive experience of Himachali culture, cuisine, and hospitality. Nestled in the stunning Sainj Valley, within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Great Himalayan National Park, our homestay is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Located in Shangarh, we provide 5 private rooms and 2 family rooms, all designed in the traditional Himachali Kathkuni style using natural materials like mud, stone, and wood. The rooms offer warmth in the cold and a cool atmosphere during warmer months.

Enjoy the cozy, traditionally designed common room or unwind in the ample open spaces, sipping tea while soaking in breathtaking mountain views. During chilly winters and cool summers, gather around the bonfire area for memorable moments. Our cafe serves delicious local Himachali food, and the property is surrounded by scenic treks and mountains, including the famous Shangarh Meadows and Barshanghar Waterfall (1.5 km). This peaceful retreat is the perfect getaway, offering tranquility away from the crowds and connecting you to nature and local culture.
