British rock band Coldplay is set to perform next January, but ticket sales have caused a stir on social media. If you’re one of those who missed an opportunity to grab a ticket and are feeling let down, here is a list of homestays that may liven up your winter plans.
So, do not fret if you miss the concert in coastal Mumbai; take a look at these snow-filled havens that are waiting to charm you with their serene landscapes.
1. Osla Homestay, Har Ki Dun
Nestled in the tranquil valley of Uttarakhand’s Har Ki Dun, this homestay is a perfect escape from your daily routine. Surrounded by nature, the homestay — constructed primarily from wood — transforms into a winter wonderland from December to February, offering panoramic views of the snow-capped Himalayas and the alpine vegetation.
2. Bayul Homestay, Lachung
Lachung in Sikkim stands as one of India’s lesser-explored snow destinations. Perched at an altitude of 9,600 feet, this picturesque locale dons a snowy blanket from November to February. Indulge in locally brewed wine and homemade delicacies while soaking in majestic views of the snow-capped mountain peaks from your courtyard.
3. Raison D’etre, Manali

Here, you can chase butterflies, bask in the sun, marvel at the night sky, and savour the simple flavours of life.
4. The Nanda Stone, Jilling
Designed in a way that every corner of the cottage offers views of the majestic Nanda Devi, this mud homestay in Uttarakhand’s Jilling offers all the joys of living in the mountains — from cooking the catch on traditional open-air chulhas to gazing at the stars at night.
5. Gonpalok Homestay, Dirang
Located amid a kiwi garden beside the Kameng river in Arunachal Pradesh’s Dirang valley, this homestay lies in a small village and boasts multiple rooms with all the basic amenities and a beautiful garden. During winter, guests can enjoy views of the snow-clad Sela peak and the picture-perfect scenery around the property.
