... now let's get back to telling you about Himalayan Woodpecker
Our family is from Lahaul Valley (beyond Kullu Valley) and has lived here for about thirty years. In the old wing of Himalayan Woodpecker, our family house was built on a simple wooden and concrete concept. We have our very own farmland and apple orchards right in our backyard. One can wander around our hilly farms and gaze at the mountains. The experience of being in nature's lap, surrounded by lush greenery, apple orchards, butterflies, birds, and the sounds of the Beas River, is soul-satisfying. It is ideal if you are seeking solace and want to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life. You get a peaceful view of the entire valley of Manali from your window. a hilltop house in apple orchards with two dedicated guest rooms, one with a kitchenette and hygienic washroom and the other with a good-sized bedroom. The newly constructed, decorated, and impressive rooms have tile flooring. Both rooms are fully equipped and have all of the necessary amenities, as well as good furniture and lighting. It is an ideal place for peace seekers in the Himalayas, particularly for book lovers, meditation practitioners, and birders. Our desire is to provide a breathtaking, natural, and tranquil Himalayan lifestyle. We are also working on planting vegetables at our location so that our guests can enjoy farm-fresh vegetables.
Vashist, Himachal Pradesh
It is a twenty-minute hike uphill through 300 steps from the parking area, gaining a decent amount of altitude. Don't worry, the trek is on well-built steps, but it can be exhausting for first-timers due to its high altitude. I believe you are fit enough, but trust me when I say the view you see after climbing the hill is breathtaking. Wearing good sport shoes or walking boots provides more comfort while walking up and down in the mountains.
