What stays the same
Whichever one you pick
Owner on site
Not a front desk on a rota. Someone who knows which trail is muddy this week.
A real kitchen
A cafe, not a vending machine. Himachali food alongside the flat white.
Small on purpose
Few enough rooms that the common room fills up and people talk.
