Shimla Homestay in Lower Chakkar | Cozy Stay Near Mall Road & The Ridge

Shimla Homestay offers a cosy mountain retreat in the quiet surroundings of Sandal Estate, Lower Chakkar, away from the heavy crowds yet close enough to enjoy Shimla’s classic sights. Set against forested hills and cool mountain air, it’s designed for travellers who want homely comfort with a touch of wellness. Wake up to crisp Himalayan mornings and begin your day in the dedicated meditation and yoga room, a calm space for stretching, breathing and easing into the day. If you like to stay active on holiday, the on-site gym lets you keep up with your workouts even while you’re travelling. Free Wi-Fi throughout the property helps you stay connected, plan day trips or even work remotely while enjoying views of the surrounding hills. Free hot water is available, making showers comfortable in Shimla’s chilly weather, especially in the early mornings and winter months. The homestay’s location is a practical advantage. A short drive takes you to Shimla Mall Road, where you can stroll past colonial buildings, quaint cafés and shops. The Ridge, with its sweeping mountain views, and the iconic Christ Church are close enough for relaxed evening walks. For a spiritual outing and panoramic vistas, visit Tara Devi Temple on a nearby hilltop or make the climb to Shree Hanuman Temple Jakhu, famous for its towering statue and monkey-filled forest trails. After a day out exploring, return to a peaceful residential neighbourhood rather than a crowded market area. The setting in Lower Chakkar offers the feel of local life in Shimla, giving you the experience of staying in a real hillside community instead of a typical hotel strip. Whether you’re planning a short getaway, a longer workcation or a family trip, Shimla Homestay combines simple comforts, wellness-friendly spaces and easy access to all of Shimla’s main attractions.
