Shri Krishna Palace

Top choice in Himachal Pradesh


Built in 2017 but using traditional construction techniques, this superb family guesthouse sits beside the mellifluously rushing Jogini stream, 10 minutes' walk from Bahang main road but a million miles emotionally. The nine rooms all have terraces or view balconies, top-quality beds, ultraclean floors, and in upper superdeluxe rooms there's also a fridge and local fabric hangings.

The all-veg restaurant (mains ₹130 to ₹190) has a lounge section for (soft) drinks and a light-suffused dining area with oblique views of the waterfalls as well as a mountain panorama that's even better from the hotel's rooftop terrace.
