Tosh Meadow Huts
Tosh, Kasol, KulluOffbeat homestay
Four wooden huts in a meadow above Tosh village, a 25-minute walk from the road, facing the Parvati valley peaks.
Basic and honest: clean quilts, shared hot water in fixed hours and a view you will not forget. Come for the meadow, not for comfort.
- A request, not a booking. Nothing is charged now. If the host accepts, you pay at the property.
- The host replies within 4 hours (8am–8pm IST), or within 12 hours overnight.
- This host has their own cancellation charges. See Policies.

About the stay
Tosh Meadow Huts is run by a Tosh family who built four small huts on their summer meadow above the village. There is no road: you walk 25 minutes up a stone path from the Tosh taxi stand while the family's mules carry your bags. Rooms are simple and warm, with thick quilts and a shared bathroom block with gas geysers. Evenings are around the bonfire with rajma-chawal and fresh rotis from the family kitchen. Solar power runs the lights and phone charging; there is no Wi-Fi, and only Jio works up here.
