Far Ridge: homestays and treks in Himachal Pradesh

Wake up to deodar forests, apple orchards and a river you can hear from bed. Far Ridge runs small family homestays and guided treks across Tirthan, Kullu and Spiti.

Find a stay

Far Ridge is named for the view from our porches. We are three Himachali families who got tired of watching visitors rush past our valleys. So we opened our homes, hired the best guides we grew up with, and made slow travel easy to book.

01 · Homestays

Three homes, one welcome.

Every price is per night for two people, with home-cooked meals. Children under 6 stay free.
