A quiet home in the hills of Chail
Bhardwaj Home Stay is a family-run retreat set in the serene hill town of Chail — once the summer capital of the Maharaja of Patiala, home to the world's highest cricket ground and the Chail Wildlife Sanctuary.
We keep things intentionally small: only four elegantly appointed rooms, so every guest enjoys personal attention, peaceful mornings with birdsong, and evenings beneath a sky full of stars.
Guests choose us as a peaceful home stay in Chail, Himachal Pradesh, close to Chail Palace, the Chail Wildlife Sanctuary and the highest cricket ground — about 45 km from Shimla, with free parking, Wi-Fi, hot water 24×7 and home-cooked food.
Our four rooms
Each room blends modern comfort with mountain calm — plush bedding, warm lighting and views of the valley.
Deodar Suite
Our most spacious room, with a king bed, rich maroon accents and a cosy sitting corner — ideal for couples.
Pine Room
Marble floors, wooden ceilings and soft ambient lights create a calm, elegant retreat after a day in the forest.
Himalaya Room
Wake up to misty mountain mornings. Plush carpet, warm interiors and blackout drapes for deep, restful sleep.
Snow View Room
Perfect for families and winter lovers — watch snowfall blanket the valley from the comfort of your bed.
Home-cooked, made with love
Food is available throughout your stay. Fresh, hygienic vegetarian and Himachali meals are cooked in our own kitchen with local produce — served in your room, on the lawn, or by the bonfire.
