a month agoWe stayed here for two days during the first week of December,2025. The homestay is very well organized, and the most important part is the warmth and support we experienced. Special thanks to Dichen, who felt like a younger brother to us. He not only guided us during our Hilley-Versey trek but also made sure we felt completely at home throughout our stay.
