I stayed for 2 nights with my family. Location is splendid. All staff including manager Mr. Sharma were quite helpful and took good care. The owner is a gem of a person. There is no negative point about this property. Would highly recommend to stay here. You can get a beautiful sunset view from the property. Hatu temple and Nag temple are also nearby and a must place to visit.

No negative point.

Banjara Orchard is a well maintained property with clean and comfortable rooms. It has a nice view of the valley and a partial view of snow peaks on one side. The apple orchard is fabulous. The food is very tasty without being oily or spicy.

The approach road of last 10 kms from Narkanda is not in a great shape. The service/attitude of the staff is mixed and at times inflexible. For example they didn't proactively clean the room in the morning and then refused to do it when we asked for cleaning later. Similarly they asked us to turn off the lights and vacate activity room at 1030 when there isn't much else to do. Given ripe cherries are highlight of the property which we visited for at this time, they could have allowed access to at least a few cherries and experience of plucking and eating ourselves...even for a charge.

It’s location!

Unexpected allotment in a lower rated room though I have booked the best one and paid even more than their price for their best room! I have booked thru’ booking.com. I paid ten thousand in Indian rupees plus eighteen hundred taxes . I was allotted a room , the cost of which was 6500/- . When I brought this thing to their notice, they replied they have done this as per booking.com advise! Everyone must be aware of this thing!
