Our Story
Nestled in the peaceful village of Laida, in the heart of Tirthan Valley, Laida Holiday Home Stay is more than just a place to stay—it's a home built with love, tradition, and Himachali hospitality.
Our journey began with a simple dream: to share the beauty of our village and the warmth of our family with travelers seeking an authentic mountain experience. What was once our family home was thoughtfully transformed into a homestay after the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a space where guests could experience the true essence of village life while enjoying modern comfort.
Every corner of our property reflects the rich heritage of Himachal Pradesh. From handcrafted wooden interiors and cozy cedar cottages to breathtaking mountain views, everything has been designed to help you slow down, reconnect with nature, and create unforgettable memories.
As a family-run homestay, we believe that hospitality is not just about providing accommodation—it's about making every guest feel like a part of our family. We welcome you with genuine smiles, home-cooked Himachali meals prepared from fresh local ingredients, and personalized care throughout your stay.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway, a romantic escape, a family vacation, or an adventurous trip exploring Jalori Pass, Jibhi, Tirthan Valley, and the Great Himalayan National Park, Laida Holiday Home Stay offers the perfect base for your journey.
Here, mornings begin with crisp mountain air, birdsong, and stunning valley views, while evenings end under star-filled skies with the comfort of a warm home.
We invite you to discover the charm of Laida Village, experience authentic Himachali culture, and create memories that will stay with you long after your journey ends.
Our Family
At Laida Holiday Home Stay, hospitality is a family tradition. We believe that the best travel experiences come from genuine connections, warm conversations, and making every guest feel at home.
Our family consists of my mother, my wife, and our two wonderful children, Abhu and Bhabu. Together, we welcome guests with warmth, care, and the authentic spirit of Himachali hospitality.
My mother lovingly prepares and shares traditional Himachali recipes, offering guests a taste of our local culture. My wife takes care of every detail of your stay, ensuring you enjoy comfort, cleanliness, and a truly homely atmosphere. Our children, Abhu and Bhabu, fill the homestay with joy and cheerful energy, making it feel like a real family home.
For us, hosting is more than providing accommodation—it's about sharing our home, our traditions, and our way of life. From heartfelt conversations and home-cooked meals to local experiences and personalized hospitality, we want every guest to feel like a part of our family.
