As India marks National Tourism Day on January 25th, the focus turns to the indispensable role of local hosts in fostering grassroots tourism. Pehlingpa Home, tucked away in a serene village near Manali, stands as a testament to the warmth and cultural exchange that local hosts offer to travelers. Nestled amidst apple orchards and accessible only by ascending 100 stairs, this homestay on Airbnb provides a peaceful escape while remaining conveniently close to the market and highway.
Seema, the host of Pehlingpa Home, embarked on her hosting journey at the age of 40. Determined to stay in her beautiful village, she searched extensively before finding the perfect piece of land. With a vision of creating a place off the beaten path yet equipped with modern amenities, Seema brought her dream to life with Pehlingpa Home.
An ardent promoter of tourism, Seema guides her guests to local attractions and prioritizes local drivers for transportation needs. With an organic farm on the property, she offers guests a hands-on farming experience, contributing to the local tourism ecosystem. Encouraging travelers to buy local, Seema provides locally made jams, pickles, woolen socks, shawls, and caps to all her guests.
