"The Hotel is built like 15 Mins away from main Naran Bazaar. In a Just Awesome Scenic location, the builtout of the place is equaly amazing. The rooms are spacious, views from the Balconies are stunning, one does'nt want to close their eyes, it's so beautiful. When we went in June 2026, it was maybe 70% occupied, they depend on AC generation, which is the only power there, but it was not that inconvenient. The place makes you hapy, staff is happy and helping. I received everything I needed,...
