In the year end, me along with my family paid a visit to Manali. Before going to Manali, we had the following preferences in our mind regarding accommodation.
1) The place should not be crowded.
2) It should not be expensive. 3) And definitely, a good environment where I can stay with my family. With the reference from one of my friend who had earlier visited Manali, we boarded at "UPADHYAY COTTAGES". The owner of UPADHYAY COTTAGES is **Mr. Rajeev Upadhyay.
UPADHYAY COTTAGES are located at a place called Katrain which is in between Kullu and Manali. The beauty of the cottage is that the cottage is located in the midst of an apple orchard. The environment is absolutely calm and quiet.
The snow-claded mountains are visible whenever you remove the curtains of the room. There is one bed-room, one dining room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The rooms are well furnished and are available at as low as Rs. 650 per day. The food is also available at an extra price. The best part is the hospitality of each and every member of the Upadhyay family.
You will start feeling like this is another home away from your home. Mr. Rajeev Upadhyay is also having his car which he drives to show all the tourist spots and some beautiful spots which is known only to the local people. We also enjoyed delicious foods like trout fish, mutton and chicken throughout our stay in UPADHYAY COTTAGES. I strongly recommend UPADHYAY COTTAGES to those people who are having the same preferences like me.
