Located 9.5 km from The Mall Road, Mountain and peace provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

A terrace is available on site and both skiing and cycling can be enjoyed within close proximity of the homestay.

We visited Mountain and Peace for our family vacation and were very impressed with the hospitality we received there. The service was excellent, thanks to the responsiveness of the staff, especially Vinod. The owner of the establishment, Shantam Sood, provided us with local guidance and arranged for our transportation in and around the city. He is very responsive so make sure you contact him with any and every question. The location itself offers a view into the mountains and is very peaceful at a little distance from the main city. We would happily recommend Mountain and Peace to anyone planning a visit to Shimla!

    I loved my stay at Tiny Homestay ~ Located a lovely 30 minute walk from the centre of Shimla, Puneet's home is nestled in a quiet area that offers a nice respite from the bustle of the touristic centre. He and Abby continued to check in through my stay to ensure I was always happy and comfortable (which I was!). Spacious clean room, great quality/price ratio, and lovely accommodating hosts - couldn't have asked for more!

    The couple who own the homestay were very polite and courteous. Possibly one of the best homestays I've been to. They even showed us around their orchards and offered us to stay in their home when it started raining. They also have food and a general store right below the property where they provide homely food and the food was actually good. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Do try their apple chutney, jam and juice. All of it was really good. Honestly one of the best experiences I've had in a while.
