Dev Bhoomi Farms & Cottages

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our Travel Empowers tour. Our only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. The accommodation is of a high quality. The staff are very friendly and so is the dog. The views are breathtaking taking and the food is sublime.

This little stay on our way back from Dharamshala would always remain in my mind. Getting a great, almost touching view of the Dhauladhar Range, in the morning from the little veran*** while taking a cup of tea was out of the world. Generally, one gets either mountain or valley to experience the nature; but this property has the dual advantage of getting a touch of both. They have a beautiful rivulet (khad) flowing just by the side of the property and connected by a nice stair. Spending the evening by the side of the stream among the sound of the river and the birds chirping is impossible to forget. What's more the far end of the property is connected with a Poplar plantation and they have a little field there too. This was so refreshing. If you are lucky you could see owls roosting on the Poplar. They are constructing a nice Yoga centre adjoining this field. I think this is also a very nice choice. I would also like emphasize the gastronomic side of the travel. As we are very much foodie, we had an instant love with the farm fresh food. Sachinji and Arvindji were great in filling our food desire unbelievably. I would recommend everybody to taste their Chicken and Mutton Rara and mixed vegetable for sure.

The accommodation was really roomy with tea and coffee facilities. The temperature was quite cool but the beds and extra quilts were super cosy. We stayed here on trip to watch the cricket and it was a gorgeous walk up to the ground. The bird watching was a bonus, the food on site was great and the staff really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place.

What an amazing place! The view of the mountains is just stunning. This is glamping at its best. Beautiful rooms, good hot water and plenty of bedding. The staff here could not be more friendly and the chef cooked us some amazing food. Sat round the fire pit in the evening and even had a game of cricket with the staff one evening!

What a wonderful place, highly recommend Devi Bhoomi. Peaceful, fantastic views of the Himalayas and beside a river. Lovely birds to see. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was fantastic. The beautiful rooms had everything we needed.

I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about booking us into a place which seemed so focussed on yoga - given that we were going for the cricket, but I needn't have worried. Dev Bhoomi is basically just an outstanding boutique hotel. It has (maybe 12?) cottages, equipped with very comfortable beds, effective AC and heating, and luxurious bathrooms. And it is quiet. The frequent traveller to India will know that "quiet" is not something readily to be had anywhere near a city, but Dev Bhoomi achieves it. The place is surrounded by fields, has its own private bit of river. Not a car horn to be heard. But it is the people which make Dev Bhoomi stand out. ***y hotels have enthusiastic staff, but not ***y have so committed, competent and downright charming employees. And the jewel in this crown is Arvind, the Head Chef, who produces outstanding, varied food every night. The best way that I can describe it is having your own, personal, Michelin-starred chef. He also has charm to burn. There are two things which you need to understand before you go: 1) Because of its location, your stretch limo is going to struggle to get up the narrow track to the hotel, there is no gravelled sweep drive. Indeed the last 40 metres has to be done on foot ***** an earthen path. 2) While the cottages are snug, the dining area can be a tad chilly in deepest winter. It has an excellent roof, but the walls are somewhat porous. Dharamshala is my favourite city in India. Dev Bhoomi is my favourite place to stay in India.

What a great undiscovered place to stay in Dharamsala. It was recommended by a local tour guide and we are so pleased to have followed his recommendation. We went for the cricket and all the rooms were taken by Brits or Aussies. The staff could not have been more helpful and went beyond their normal role to help us enjoy our stay of 5 nights. The food was often too much and the quality was excellent especially the Thali we had one evening. The view of the snow covered mountains in the morning is worth the trip on its own. If you are going to Dharamsala or McLeodganj you must consider this farm stay.

Amazing Location.. Best Food... VERY VERY VERY SUPPORTIVE STAFF.. Great Service... Really enjoyed the visit... each n every family member enjoyed a lot including 5 Year Kid n 70 Year Grandparents.....

Nice and unique place in the lap of nature. Highly recommended if you want to spend some quality time away from city bussy life. View is really pleasing as river flowing beside the property. Staff was very cooperative and food was delicious.
