The hostel had an amazing culture. So many people were living from long and I became friends on the first day. People were so nice to each other and we all mingled up fast. The volunteers and host were warm and I had a great time.

Great location in Shangad, has all facilities in such a remote place. Rustic Mud and Wood-based structure. Was able to work from here. All food is yummy! Cheerful and welcoming folks, great vibe. Definitely coming back sometime!

One pf the very few properties in shangarh that would offer you authentic village experience, got to stay in a wooden cabin with amazing mountain views. All the people managing the stay are really warm and helpful. And the food is just too good being the highlight with wide variety of options. Would’ve loved to stay for long if work permits.

This the best place to escape your chaotic life. This a serene and silent place where you can just eat , gaze mountains for eternity and the you will get a humble and friendly hospitality here. If you haven't been to this hostel then you are missing a great heaven .

The board signs to the property could be made more visible for easy readability.

The property is legit mud house and you’ll feel a rustic vibe staying in it giving you a touch of village life. The view from the room and the entire property is totally worth it. The property is a lil uphill but you’ve got 2 ways to get there. Meadows is just 15 mins away downhill. Common you’re in the mountains, you have to walk a lil extra mile that’s worth it. Loved the food, the cafe and the staff. ( Do try pahadi chicken). Imraan bhaiya was soo helpful in everything.

Had an amazing stay at The Mud Hostel – truly a home away from home! The rooms were excellent with well-thought-out interiors, and the hospitality was outstanding. Special thanks to Chef Manoj Bhaiya for serving the best food I’ve had in Himachal, and to Mohit, an incredible host, always ready to help and share great conversations. One day was way too short to fully enjoy this lovely place. I can’t wait to come back and stay longer. 10/10 for the memories!

The property has an old world charm and offers you stunning view of the mountains . Gursharan is an amazing host who is always happy to help will help with some good suggestions for things to do in and around Shangarh. Food is delicious and every order is freshly made. The doms are clean and offer all the basic comfort requirements and is a complete value for money. Looking forward to my next stay at Mud Hostel.

Loved our stay

Beautiful view of the entire village from the property, a very short walk from the village road which made it accessible & the most welcoming staff. Nawab, otherwise a Delhi resident was hosting us during our stay and ensured our every basic need was met. Also went the extra mile to tell us about which treks to go on, arranged tents for camping & ensured a memorable stay for us. And yes, elaborate menu and delicious food. Do try the Mango pancakes, smoothies & Man Chow soup.

Mud Hostel and Cafe Shangarh offers a delightful retreat with Manoj Bhai at the helm of its culinary experience. Known for his exceptional cooking skills, Manoj Bhai serves up some of the best meals in Shangarh, making dining here a highlight for guests. The hostel's location is both offbeat and accessible, providing stunning valley views and proximity to the serene Shangarh meadows. With great food, optimum pricing, and beautiful surroundings, it's a top choice for those exploring this picturesque area.

The description is slightly incorrect. It is not a place with a view, it is a whole planetarium ✨❤️ Watching the night sky with so many stars while you lie down in a cozy bed is another experience. Few things to note. You need to carry your own towel. Wifi is dongle based, not broadband/wired. Speeds can vary based on the time of day and weather conditions but the host informed that all stays in shangarh have dongle based wifi only The road from Sainj to Shangarh is not in the best condition but I went there on a two wheeler so any bike or car can easily make it

The property is amazing. The location is great. The view from the room is breathtaking. Snow capped mountains in front, snow in the front and at the side. Large windows to see the amazing landscape. The cook and host for me was Manoj who handles the property when the owner is not present. He is very helpful and makes the tastiest food. The thali meals were amazing 🙌🏻 Very good hospitality. There are a few very good dogs who will greet you at the property. They will also escort you to the main road when you're leaving for home.

Nothing worthy of mentioning.

The food, the vibe, the location, the view from the hostel, the host. All in all everything.
