Move over hotels – its Homestay in Himachal
Homestays are popular as a more affordable lodging option to the traveler all over the world. Plus it gives a more intimate local experience.

Karna Lake – Roadtrip from Delhi
A day trip to Karna lake, about 140 Kms from Delhi, takes about 2.5 hours. Once out of Delhi, the highway is dotted with dhabas and resorts where one can stop for breakfast/lunch or even spend the night. Gulshan dhaba, where we stopped, is a somewhat modern take on dhaba which does not disappoint. Karna lake, surrounded by greenery, is a great photo op. Further, boating facilities make this a very attractive fun-do for children as well.
