Jimmy's River Retreat

The host, plac,e food, stay and the scenic beauty is awesome. We had an amazing time and would love to go back soon. Highly recommended for family and friends.

From the moment we spoke to the owner, a retired army man, we knew we were in good hands. He guided us to the property ... nestled between a thick tree cover on one side and river Ravi on the other (flowing literally a stone throws away) !!nnThe house presents a traditional exterior with basic, yet modern infrastructure. A safe parking space for my car and accommodation for my driver (albeit, at an additional nominal charge) sealed the deal for me :)nnThe highlight of our stay was definitely the hospitality of the couple .. especially the lady of the house. Not only were we treated to some amazing traditional recipes, but I was also allowed to display my culinary skills in their kitchen!nnEspecially recommended for families and those who don't mind the sound of rushing river in the stillness of the night :)

A beautiful Paradise tucked away in Champs valley close to the river Had the honour of being treated to sumptuous meals. The hospitality of the hosts par excellent. A must stay place

The best place to retreat and move around incl Khajjiar, Dalhousie n nearby Museum, Mandirs etc....

Jimmy's River Retreat is undoubtedly the perfect choice if you visiting Chamba or around. And there are plenty of reasons ...n1. Tastefully built house with nice wooden interiors, a true home-stay and not the commercial variety.n2. Along the banks of Ravi, full view of the river from the roomsn3. Very spacious roomsn4. Great outdoors for those who want to lounge outsidennAnd now the icing on the cake ...nn5. An absolutely caring host-couple: Brigadier Rajeev Jamval and Mam Hemant. Brigadier saheb will be there to welcome you. And will most graciously share stories in the evenings, over a drink or dinner.n(One night we were stranded at the bus stand with no conveyance, Brigadier himself drove down 6 km to pick us. Thank you, Sir)nn6. THE MOST SUMPTUOUS AND DELICIOUS DINNER. If you are a foodie, you may even want to stay at the place only for the food, it is that delicious. Home-cooked, lavish spread, ghee overflowing .... yumm.nnPlease do keep in mind that the stay is 6 km from Chamba town, so if you are the type who prefers the buzz of a market-place or a place teeming with other tourist, over the serenity of tucked away place, this may not be for you.nAlso, the place is run hands-on by the hosts, please dont visit if you rely on room-service every couple of hours.nnWhile Chamba has just a little to offer, we are looking for other reasons (enroute to Sach Pass or for the Mani-mahesh Yatra) to visit the place again, it has that charm.
