Our Story

A place to slow down, breathe, and stay a little longer.

Looking for a relaxing vacation — away from the crowds and the noise of everyday life — in the quiet of the Himalayas? The Himalayan Shire is a family-run offbeat homestay in Fagu, near Kufri on the Shimla ridge — close enough for a day trip, far enough to leave the rush behind. This is what private-villa stays feel like when they are done right: unhurried, warm, and quietly luxurious.

Fagu climate: The Himalayan Shire is situated at 7,500 ft in the Himalayas. Winter brings snowfall (typically Dec–Feb), spring brings blooming orchards, and summer offers mild mountain weather. Current weather varies by season — check a live weather source for real-time conditions.
