Beyond the Accommodation
Day Hike to Jogini Falls
A serene one-day hike from Vashist to Jogini Falls is a highlight near Manali.
The 3 km route starts behind Vashist temple and takes you through charming villages, apple orchards, and pine forests with stunning views of the Beas River valley. The trek to the waterfall base is considered beginner-friendly, and the round trip typically takes 4-5 hours. Visit the 150-foot waterfall and the sacred Jogini Mata temple. The best time to visit is from March to June or September to November.
Visit to Old Manali
A peaceful forest walk from Vashisht to Old Manali takes you from temples to charming lanes.
The scenic trail starts from Vashisht village and leads downhill through dense forests, passing through the quaint Bahang village. You’ll cross the Beas River on a rustic wooden bridge before arriving at the cobblestone streets and vibrant cafes of Old Manali. The path offers a lovely escape into nature with authentic village views.
North Star Homestay offers more than just a stay — we craft experiences rooted in nature, design, and intimacy. From slow mornings in our private garden to custom in-room wellness rituals, each detail is tailored to restore your senses and spirit.

What Our Guests Say
Reflections from guests who found their peace and comfort at North Star Homestay
01
As a solo female traveler, safety and a warm welcome are everything. At North Star, I found both. The family made me feel like a friend, the home-cooked meals were a delight, and the view from my balcony was my morning meditation. I'll be back!

We chose North Star for its location, and it was perfect! We trekked to Jogini Falls from the door and explored Old Manali, but the best part was returning to this cozy, quiet haven. The room was spotless and the advice from our hosts was spot-on.

I came to Vashisht for the hot springs and some quiet. North Star Homestay was the ideal base. The serenity of Chhadrye Village, the sound of the river, and the genuine care from the hosts made my digital detox perfect. The 'Room + Meals' package is totally worth it!
