Delek Guesthouse

Himachal Pradesh


Better value than the many homestays in central Nako, Delek's simple but new, decent rooms have good beds, quality geysers and delightful management. With attached grocery, it's alone about halfway between the helipad bus stop and the town centre.

A shared balcony looks out at the mountains across terraced fields. If coming in winter, call first as water and heating will otherwise be shut off, and expect to pay a supplement.
