3 months agoIt's been 3 years to our unforgettable stay at Bayul and meeting it's wonderful host family. My friend and I spent couple of nights, albeit booking it just for 1 night, at this amazing homestay and till date, it remains the closest to our hearts. From location to the rooms to the meals, everything about this stay was incredible. During our visit, it was the last property on the highest altitude of Lachung and we were greeted with undisturbed nature, at its best, with distant waterfalls crashing into white noise. The host family was the sweetest of all. In no time we were a part of them and were treated as equals. Just can't get enough of the taste buds scintillating food cooked by the family. Can't forget the mouthwatering dinner cooked by their kids when the hosts were stranded in the city. The hosts went to an extra length to make sure our stay is comfortable and even packed us an early breakfast for our further sojourns. We can't wait to revisit and really hope others get to enjoy their hospitality 👌 Psst. We also made a new friend there- Tara, the cutest kitten ever.

7 months agoI am currently in Bayul homestay. It's a beautiful place to be. I was initially hesitant to stay but coming here was one of the best decisions. Things we consider when we travel Stay: Beautiful nice cozy well kept rooms with neat and clean bathrooms with all facilities. Bed warmer is there and on top of it the owners provided us to super soft and clean warm thick blankets. Food: Amazing home cooked simple and tasty food. Location: On the top of the city. Will post pics of the view once we will click it in the morning. Do not plan to come if you are high maintenance and looking for room service. Owners are super nice and it feels like we are at home.

10 months agoAfter so many good reviews I visited this homestay with a lot of hope. The location is good. Rooms are average. The quality of food is not at all good. The behaviour of the homestay owners are like you are at their mercy. Also they don't have enough infrastructure to handle extreme cold. If you are coming with family you should avoid this homestay. You should check for better quality hotels.

8 months agoWonderful Homestay at Lachung. Mr Pema and his wife took really good care of us. We felt home away from home. Mrs Pema makes really good food. Their ever smiling son (10 months old) is the best attraction of the homestay. They have a friendly dog and 2 cats as their pets. The Majestic view of the Himalayas from the homestay is mesmerizing. Definitely recommend homestay when in Lachung :)
