I visited Maya Cafe with a couple of friends in the beginning of October. We were basically on a budget trip and wanted things to be really simple and homely. After trekking for about half an hour at Chhalal {near Kasol}, we ended up finding this really beautiful homestay called Maya Cafe, that's run by a very sweet and welcoming Russian couple. Everything they serve is homemade {even the bread is baked at home! Just how wonderful is that?}.
No one's going to show you a menu here, you're going to be asked what you love eating, and the couple would whip-up something awesome which might not be exactly what you ordered, but an improved version of it! For example - we ordered for nutella pancakes, which were brilliant, but then they suggested we try their homemade jam pancakes. We ordered for their mango jam pancakes, and then we ended up doing a fruit jam pancake marathon! They charge you just INR 350 per room {3 people can easily be accommodated in a room}.
