A:

There are apartments with kitchens/kitchenettes available, but you're going to have to look once you get there. Stay in a hotel for a day or two and ask locals. You'll find something fairly quickly at a low price if you like. Gandhi House (below Pink House) has rooms with kitchenettes, but may require a long-term stay (one month or more. Ask the staff at Mountain Lion Cafe, they may know.  Tell them CombatCritic sent you.  Hope this helps!

Best wishes,

A:

Dear Nehadixit,

Want to visit Mcloedganj and Dharamshala solo ... have no doubts!

1. which place is more appropriate to stay ? Mcleodganj and Dharamshala ?

Dharamsala has little to offer. McLeod Ganj is where all the action is ... the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan people, monasteries, yoga, meditation, NGOs, restaurants, hiking/trekking, clean air, beautiful scenery

2. Does your hotel provide taxi or cab facility to roam around the city or to go tourist attractions.

You don't need a cab unless you want to travel outside of town. Everything is within walking distance of McLeod Ganj ... Bhagsu Village, St Johns, Dharamkot, the Library of Tibetan Works and Archive, etc ... or a short, cheap bus ride away

3. Is it safe to travel alone?

McLeod Ganj is extremely safe for men and women, being inhabited by Tibetans primarily. Partly because of their Buddhist beliefs, they are very compassionate, peaceful, and kind people.

4. Any other thing i need to cautious about ?

Not really, but pick a hotel wisely. There are many to choose from, ranging from 200 to 3,000+ rupees per night depending on your tastes. The Tse Chok Ling Monastery sits on a hill overlooking the valley, is extremely peaceful, and a great value at 600 rupees per night. You can read reviews of hotels, restaurants, and attractions on my blog and watch videos orienting you to McLeod Ganj on my YouTube channel, so feel free to contact me for details.

Good luck!

CombatCritic Q&A: "Hill Top Swiss Cottage, Rishikesh"

Hill top Swiss cottage, rishikesh

Has anyone stayed at Hill Top Swiss Cottage? We are staying there for the whole of March 2015. I am wondering what the access is like as it looks very high up.

Re: Hill top Swiss cottage, rishikesh

I've been staying for 2 of 7 nights and the property seems a good value. Rooms are big and bright, internet fast by Indian standards. 

It is a bit isolated from the Ganges (Ganga) and town, but offers a quiet environment and a few shops, restaurants, yoga/meditation/massage options.  I have bad knees, but the walk to the river takes only about 15-20 minutes and is not a bad climb up or down.

There is a wonderful new Italian restaurant a short walk away, A Tavola con Te (atavolaconte on TripAdvisor) owned by an Italian couple from Milan that make wood-oven pizzas, pastas and desserts. 

Let me know if you have any questions.
