The Kardhar Project Rajgundha

"I came here with a group of friends for a cycling and paragliding trip, and Kardhar turned out to be the perfect base. The trails around the cottage are incredible for biking—winding through pine forests and terraced fields with breathtaking views at every turn. After a day of adventure, coming back to hearty Kangra-style meals and sitting under a sky full of stars was the highlight of our trip. This isn’t just another homestay near Bir; it’s an experience that keeps you outdoors, alive, and connected."

"Kardhar Project truly lives up to its name—honoring the village while embodying adventure, sustainability, and intentional living. My husband and I spent three magical days hiking, enjoying chai breaks, and savoring fresh vegetables foraged from the wilderness. We learned about Himachal's rich culture and nomadic communities, then returned each evening to warm showers and delicious home-cooked meals. When the rains came, we simply relaxed on the verandah with books and stunning valley views. Perfect for anyone seeking an authentic off-grid experience!"

"The Kardhar Project truly felt like a home away from home. The stay was warm and comforting, with delicious food that made it even more special. They took care of every little need, and Vicky bhaiya was an amazing host from the very start. Super cool, friendly, and always ready to help, he made the entire experience feel effortless—we genuinely wish there were more people like him in this world. The view was something else, absolutely perfect and unforgettable, adding a magical touch to the entire stay. Overall, it was the best mountain stay I’ve ever experienced."

"Visiting The Kardhar Project was an outstanding experience. The cottage offers a breathtaking view of the valley towards east. The face of the cottage provide a panaroma for Himalayan mountains with the Thumpsar peak as well as the pass towering from the background. The cottage itself is very pretty and cosy, equipped with all the necessities. A great place to visit with family or friends who love the nature, hikes, mountain biking, and great food. Vicky and his team fed us with delicious delicacies for every meal."

"A tastefully made beautiful pet friendly home stay tucked far away from the maddening city crowd and traffic that offers total peace. We stayed there for 3 days and wished we could stay longer. Vicky, the caretaker and his team are wonderful people who made our stay memorable. Besides walking, hiking, biking it's just an experience in itself to sit with a book on the balcony looking out at the hills. Rain and poor network were a blessing in disguise enabling us to stay at the property talking, reading, playing Scrabble or Monopoly - total family time. It was a rare and most welcome outing for Barfi, our pet dog, who had a field day running after butterflies, getting wet while drinking water from a waterfall and making new friends. Vicky made extra efforts to light a bonfire despite rainy weather and served us pomfret along with local Himachali Dhaam, Siddu and what not. All in all, worth more than every penny spent."
