The Homestay
Alpine Crest Homestay sits above the apple orchards of Village Kathot, just off Majhar Road in Theog. It is a small house — a handful of rooms, a shared lounge, a terrace that catches the first light on the Shali Tibba range — and it is run by the family that lives here.
Days here are unhurried: tea on the balcony, a walk through the orchard, a rajma-chawal lunch, and evenings quiet enough to hear the wind moving through the deodars.

Why Stay With Us
Not a hotel — a family home. Every detail is kept simple, honest and focused on the things that actually matter in the hills.
East-facing balconies open onto the Shali Tibba range and a wide deodar valley.
The first light spills over the ridgeline straight onto your balcony.
Siddu, madra, rajma-chawal — cooked in the family kitchen on request.
A quiet village above the orchards, away from the tourist crowds of Kufri and Shimla.
Secure parking right at the house, with easy access from NH-5.
Uninterrupted comfort with round-the-clock hot water and free Wi-Fi.
Mountain View Experience
The balconies face east, so the first light of the day spills over the ridgeline and fills the valley with layered colour. Evenings bring the deodars into silhouette against a warm sky.

Private Balcony
The Deluxe Room has a private balcony that opens directly onto the deodar ridgeline. Pull up a chair, take your tea outside, and watch the light move across the valley from sunrise to sunset. No highway noise, no town hum — just wind through the pines.
Choosing the right homestay in Theog is about more than finding a room.
