Budget Stay in Shoja & Jibhi – No Society Homestay and Cafe

Few Days Back, I visited again in Tirthan Valley with my friend Vansh. This time, I selected another route and explored the Jibhi, Shoja and Jalori Pass. In November, I experienced live snowfall in the Jalori Pass and enjoyed the colours of Autumn in Banjar, Shoja and Jibhi.

Have you ever stayed in Local’s Homestay of Himachal Pradesh?

If not, try it today... I am sure; you would love to do it. whenever I used to travel, usually I stayed in hotels and resorts but after i have experienced the home stays.I do not find it amazing to stay in hotels and resorts anymore. We lived a local life with Himachali people. I am attracted towards the helpful nature of the people who live mountains.

On this trip of Tirthan Valley, We stayed in a homestay named – “No Society Homestay & Café”. They provided me the excellent services; also, the hosts were very friendly. So today, in this article I am going to tell you about my experience of staying in the "No Society Homestay and Café" and give you a little review about this property.

Shoja is a village of Tirthan Valley located in between Jibhi and Jalori Pass. From here, we can enjoy the scenic panoromic view of Dhauladhar Range. You can easily reach here by catching bus moving towards Rampur from Banjar. If you really want to explore the traditional culture, this is the perfect destination.

How I Reached Here?

If you are following me on my blog or Instagram, you may already know that how much I love to travel by public transport. So I reached this place from Delhi by bus. I changed the bus thrice. Firstly, I took the bus to Aut (Moving towards Manali) from Delhi and then from Aut I came to Banjar by another bus. Banjar is the main town of Tirthan Valley. You can get bus easily to Banjar from Mandi, Aut or Kullu. From Banjar, I changed the bus and took the bus to Shoja ( You can also reach here by catching bus to Rampur from Banjar). This homestay is located at 3 km before the village Shoja, I went down on the way. I found the location of homestay on google maps and reached there easily after the journey of 14 hours from Delhi.
