7km from Manali, Head to this Mystic Homestay for The Perfect Escape from Busy Life

With the city hustle bustle we all need a good break. Out in the nature, fresh air to breathe and sounds of birds chirping instead of irritating vehicle honks. That's all we need for a perfect escape out in the mountains.

Losing themselves in their travels is one feeling wanderers across the globe identify with. There is something about finding a home in new places and among new people that connects travellers in ways not otherwise possible. And when that adds up with a fantastic stay, it serves as the cherry on top.

This time when I headed to Manali, instead of staying in city, i looked for a peaceful stay nearby and found this beautiful property hosted by amazing folks and location is quiet in the heart of nature. It's the best decision i made and really had a relaxing vacation close to the mountains.

I visited the place in October and found the best weather to feel not really cold to shiver but right enough to feel good in single layer jacket.
