" The view from this hotel is just breathtaking, visited there in March 2014, the whole valley was covered with snow. There was a river down there and Iron bridge. We explored every part of that village, the time spent there is memorable. Room Tip: Choose room on first floor. "

" Rakcham---- the place of our dream destination. And our hotel here Rupin River View (Propiter Mr Naresh Jishtu 9816686789 and in his absense Mr Thakur was our host, also he is a gentle and knowledgable man 9816185518, on behalf of Himalayan Discovery). It was a very good hotel and the view (in fact as we booked all the hotels & car of Mr Jishtu for our entire trip, he assured us for all top floor side view rooms and also a special care) was just amazing through windows,even from bed. On the way we visited Kamroo fort. Here the scenery we saw from our room, we will never forget in life -- for what we selected the place. Full of snow covering total outside wall of ground floor of Rupin River View -- 8-10 feet, all pipelines were jammed, cistern and guyser not functioning and our balcony was facing the valley -- snow capped peak, snow all around, snow over the trees, tingling Baspa river and a little bridge -- a perfect postcard picture. Though the weather was chilly, but we were ready to go outside -- played on snow, played with snow. Next day we went to Chitkul, the last village of India, but the road was such we were puzzled how Antarctica is. In some places it was 20-25 feet snow. Rest of the day we're fatigued enough to play with ice -- just came out to balcony, took a cup of tea and relaxed -- can'nt express the feeling in words. Next morning was cloudy, infact Mr Thakur told it is the possible sign of snowfall in afternoon. We started returning, with a broken heart. Bye bye Rakcham. Though we're interested to see the village life there, but so much snow interrupted our all those interests. Actually Rakcham is the place where nature is present in its full blown form-- differently in different seasons-- sometimes full of snow, sometimes full of greenery, sometimes full of apples. We bought Kinnauri caps as souvenir items. N.B. our car (Alto) driver was Mr Sashi Negi and in next seven days everywhere we realised Mr Sashi was a nice guide,very gentle,energetic, much more than a car driver. In fact our tour ended with a big satisfaction mostly because of him. Room Tip: Just request Mr Jishtu.... leave everything on him. "

" Location: very good, with view of the river, valley and mountains, even the Himachal State Transport buse(s), stop just infront of the place. Staff: just OK. Room service is very slow. Food: Very good Overall: Just a basic place to stay. I shall reccommend the place because there is not many alternatives at this price. "
