Comfortable Rooms with Stunning Views

My room at Prakriti was a dream come true! The well-appointed room came with a beautiful view of the majestic Himalayan mountains and the Bhagirathi river. I loved sitting on the shared balcony in the evenings, enjoying the sound of the flowing river below. It was an experience I will cherish forever.

I had a really disappointing stay at this hotel, which I expected to be a premium experience but turned out to be quite the opposite. The rooms were small and uncomfortable, and the lack of basic amenities like power and hot water made the experience worse. On the other hand, I found another hotel nearby with stunning views and excellent service that I would recommend instead.
