Had a wonderful and very comfortable Time in the homestay. Here we stayed 2 nights in their special upper cottage. The owners Mr. & Mrs. Sarin takes very good care about their guests, they are very polite and helpful. The food that Mrs. Sarin cooks wonderful food, utterly delicious much better than any restaurant you choose, the best part is you will fill like a home. The location near the McLeod Ganj was very beautiful. It takes 20 mins by Taxi from Dharamsala ISBT bus stand to reach the Homes stay. Abhishek_229

“serenity” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2012 "I was traveling alone to Mcleodganj from Shillong and was really unsure of how to get a comfortable and safe place to stay. I was so glad to come across Flourishing Flora through Tripadvisor, that i didnt have a second thought but called up Anil Sarin if I could be accommodated there. Luckily I was and when I reached this beautiful place I was completely mesmerized by the serenity of the place and the beauty of the surroundings. This homestay is infact the best here and the room that i chose was this wooden cabin and it was so so cozy and warm, very comfortable and makes you feel at home. If one is looking for a peaceful retreat, then this room is the best. The breakfast was awesome. One should not miss the banana pancakes. Dinner is superb and relishing. Last but not the least, the hosts were very hospitable. Each and every one of you, Anil, Nisha, Sahil and Bhushan, thank you so much for your warm hospitality. I indeed had the best stay and i do wish to come back someday and stay there another time." ( As Sent on Trip Advisor) ---monalisapyngrope, Shillong, India monalisapyngrope Shillong, India

“Serenity, kindness and one heck of a view” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 weeks ago My sister and I recently visited McLeod Ganj and had to good fortune to have stayed with the very gracious Sarin family at the Flourishing Flora homestay. For us, this place had great appeal; simple, clean and cozy lodgings nestled mountainside on Dharamkot Road, we enjoyed the walk to and from the town square. The Sarin brothers were extremely courteous and helpful, while their mother Nisha's cooking was delicious! It was delightful to sit in the little outdoor dining area and take in the view of the mountains amid the flowers and plants dotted about the property. I found the location a calm respite from the bustling town square - and the nightly performances at TIPA just up the road provided a pleasant soundtrack for our adventure! :-) Megan H

I was on a road trip and i'm traveler who likes to stay in homestays n hostels as i like to meet people . I believe great conversations take place when we meet new people . It totally surpassed my expectations . So i like places which are peaceful n away from noise n all the chaos of a city . This place is perfect . It is a 10 minute walk from mcleodganj mainsquare n on the road to dharmkot . Its away from all the chaos of town and very peaceful . You could simply enjoy your morning tea in peace with a amazing view of the mountains from the in house cafe . The walk to mcleodganj main square( centre of town ) is very photogenic n thus keep your cameras ready :p . Since its a homestay so please dont expect it to be a normal hotel . It is a family run and sahil the amazing guy handles the guest part . He was so caring about his guests that i noticed that he doesnt sleep unless his guests are back home and especially concerned regarding safety of women . The food was very well served and the rooms were very clean .this time i was in family room but next time i want to stay in the hut they have on the top floor . That room gives a breathtaking view . So if you get that room consider yourself lucky as the valley view is to die for . I prefer travelling like a local n meeting new people thus homestays gives you that experience were i made some amazing friends from across the globe . I loved the place so much that i stayed an extra night out there . Sahil n family has perfected the art to give experience of a homestay and services of a hotel . Also i missed out on the special roasted chicken that mrs. Sarin makes , make sure you dont miss it :( . Simply amazing . Thank you sahil n family uday b
