X R A, Auli

I stayed at the hostel property of the XRA homestay for my year end vacation.
Everything about the stay was on point. Kind staff to great service to amazing hosts like Vivek and his brothers Nikhil and Anshuman. Since I was travelling solo they helped me with a fair idea of where to and how to in Auli. Everything about the place is very friendly , even their dog . The food served was very delicious and homely. And the cherry on the cake was the view from the stay!!
Plus I met some amazing guests there who motivated me to stay and explore the adjoining Niti Valley with them which was an amazing experience.
Though their hostel initiative is very new to the area and is in its early stages , I felt it was more than adequate for me as a solo traveller.
The homestay is highly recommended.

XRA cottage, Auli.. A home away from home.. this beautiful property made our Christmas vacation more special.. nestled in the arms of the mountains.. overlooking the snow clad peaks.. XRA was our best decision in this trip. The family who hosts this homestay is so humble and warm that they make you a part of the family.. Vivek and Anshuman shares their amazing experience as a pahadi and folklores of Auli . They are all experienced Skiers and can guide you with every details of any kind of information you would need. The food at XRA is excellent.. Ghar ka khana is what they serve .. which is made by Bhupinder bhaiya , didi.. and other family members.. and just in case you are a dog lover...Bagheera is a furball who would keep you company and let u cuddle him unlimited! Every day in the evening we used to gather around the bonfire and meet other guests and have a gala time!!
Overall a great experience and I am definitely coming back!

We love this place ❤ in total we stayed around ten days and it felt like home ???????????? we stayed the first night in the room with the big glass wall ???? incredible view of the mountains ⛰ then we moved into the end room which was super private ???? we had our own veranda onto the backyard. The owners are really cool ???? airtel and vi connection here is fantastic. Food delivered to the room from around 7:30am ???? quiet ???? beautiful forest nearby ???? washing machine. Would definitely stay again!
