Himalayan Nest
Our story
About Us
More than accommodation — a peaceful mountain home.
Himalayan Nest was born from a simple idea — that the mountains have a way of slowing us down, and that everyone deserves a warm, honest place to feel that.
Tucked into the green folds of Bir Billing, in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district, our home opens onto sweeping views of the Dhauladhar range. Days here are unhurried — mornings with mountain air and fresh coffee, afternoons of remote work by a sunlit window, evenings of chess, board games and conversations with travelers from around the world.
We're an eco-friendly homestay at heart. Solar power, solar-heated water and fresh natural spring water are part of everyday life here — small choices that let us live gently on the mountain while keeping you comfortable.
We're also just minutes from Bir's famous paragliding landing site — walk out the door, fly over the Dhauladhar range, and be back for lunch.
For exploring at your own pace, we keep a mountain bike on hand for guests — complimentary, first-come, first-served. Renting one in the village runs ₹200/hour or ₹300–600/day; here, it's simply part of the stay.
Whether you're a solo backpacker, a couple chasing quiet, a family on holiday, a digital nomad or a paragliding pilot — you'll find a bed that feels like home and a welcome that feels like family. This is authentic Himalayan hospitality. Stay. Relax. Explore.
Who you'll meet
Suresh & Kusum
Himalayan Nest is run by Suresh and Kusum, a husband-and-wife team — they're the two faces behind every check-in, every meal from the common kitchen, and every bit of local advice on where to fly, walk or eat. Guests often mention Suresh by name in their reviews, and more than a few say they'll be back to see him again. This is a family home first, and a homestay because of it.
Responsible Tourism
Light on the mountain, warm to its people.
Himalayan Nest is built around a simple promise — to give you comfort while protecting the valley we call home. Here's how we keep our footprint small.
01
Solar Powered
Electricity drawn from the sun wherever possible, keeping our footprint light on the mountain.
02
Solar Water Heating
Warm showers heated by Himalayan sunlight — comfort without the carbon.
03
Sustainable Living
Mindful consumption, minimal waste, and quiet respect for the land that hosts us.
04
Plastic-Free Water
Fresh natural spring water on tap, so no single-use bottles pile up in the valley.
Solar powered
Warm showers, courtesy of the sun.
Rooftop solar panels and a solar water heater do the quiet work — real electricity and real hot water, drawn from Himalayan sunlight instead of the grid.

The balcony offered a beautiful view of the surrounding greenery, making mornings especially relaxing. The location is peaceful yet close enough to Bir's main attractions.
