Unbelievable Dehradun Views: Malsi Hill Homestays Await!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Unbelievable Dehradun Views: Malsi Hill Homestays Await! And let me tell you, this isn't your average, cookie-cutter hotel review. This is going to be real. Prepare for a word vomit of opinions, anecdotes, and the occasional existential crisis triggered by a particularly fluffy pillow.
First, the Glamorous Stuff (Then the Real Talk):
Alright, so, Dehradun Views: Malsi Hill Homestays. The name alone conjures up visions of misty mornings and panoramic vistas, right? They promise "unbelievable views," and let's face it, that’s what we all secretly crave, especially when we're stressed and need escape. Does it deliver? Well, let’s unpack this Himalayan suitcase of expectations.
Access (Accessibility, Accessibility, Accessibility!):
Okay, so getting to Malsi Hill? That’s step one. Accessibility is, to put it mildly, critical. Good news: They offer Airport Transfer - bless them, because navigating Indian roads in a jet-lagged stupor is a Herculean task. Plus, they have Car Park - a free of charge one! And the Car park on-site! Hallelujah! This is a winner. Plus, the Taxi Service is available, so if you're feeling fancy and not up for driving.
Now, for the folks who need a little helping hand, the website boasts "Facilities for disabled guests." Which is GREAT, but you'll need to contact the homestays directly to confirm what those accessible features actually are. I'm a big believer in double-checking, as "accessible" can mean wildly different things depending on who you ask. Always clarify!
Inside the Sanctuary (Rooms, Rooms, Glorious Rooms!):
Alright, let's talk about where you'll be actually spending the most time: your room. The basics? They're there. Air conditioning? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Double check, and they even have Internet access – wireless and - gasp- Internet Access - LAN! So you can be a digital nomad and do some work. Air conditioning in public areas is also a plus. You get all the usual suspects, but, the list is extensive. They list Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. Whew.
But here's the messy part: do they have a character? Are the rooms just… functional? Or do they have that touch of soul that makes you feel like you’re home? This is where the reviews will become important. This is also where you can call and request room decorations.
Food, Glorious Food (And Maybe a Little Too Much of It):
Okay, let's talk about the real reason we travel: food. The homestays are promising the world, or at least a pretty decent buffet: Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in the restaurant are available, and boy oh boy, you can have Breakfast [buffet]! Get your stretchy pants ready. Okay, maybe not my favorite, the buffet in the restaurant often feels like a culinary free-for-all, but hey, there's something for everyone, right?
They also list A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast service, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast and Western cuisine in restaurant. The Breakfast in room option is always a winner for those lazy mornings.
They have a Safe dining setup too, so fingers crossed that this means the food is being prepared and served with an eye towards food safety and hygiene.
If you're lucky, and the homestays truly shine is by having a friendly, knowledgeable staff who can guide you through the local delicacies. That's worth its weight in gold.
Things To Do (Or, How to Avoid Being Bored):
So, you've got your room and your food situation sorted. Now what? This is where Malsi Hill could truly shine. From the looks of it, they have a few options.
- Ways to Relax: They offer Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. A Fitness center is also available and a Gym/fitness, for the people who haven't given up hope of a six-pack.
- For the Kids: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. Great if you're traveling with the little ones!
Cleanliness and Safety (Because Nobody Wants a Bad Trip—Literally):
This is a big one, especially in today's world. They're saying all the right things: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment.
They also have Doctor/nurse on call. And First aid kit.
They also list CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, plus Exterior corridor, Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms and Security [24-hour]. That's a good sign.
Services and the Extras (Because Sometimes, You Need More Than Just a Bed):
This is where Malsi Hill could really put the icing on the cake. You can get Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.
And that Concierge desk? That's a lifesaver. Need a last-minute train ticket? An insider tip on the best local chai? A recommendation for a tailor that can magically fix your favorite shirt? That's what they're there for.
Okay, Let's Get Real: The Imperfections:
I'm not seeing a lot of information on the vibe. Is it romantic? Family-friendly? A party place? This needs to be clarified with the reviews. Again, the whole "unbelievable views" claims—are they really that good?

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this itinerary for Malsi Hill View Homestays in Dehradun? Let’s just say it’s going to be less "precision-engineered Swiss watch" and more "slightly-dented, beloved, and utterly chaotic family wagon."
Malsi Hill View Homestays: A Dehradun Adventure (with a healthy dose of human error, guaranteed!)
(Days are guidelines. Weather, mood swings, and the lure of a particularly good cup of chai may completely derail things. You've been warned.)
Day 1: Arrival and Absolute Bliss (and a near-miss with a landslide?)
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Jolly Grant Airport (DED). Pray to the travel gods the flight isn't delayed. (Mine was, of course. Because life. Let’s just say my luggage and I had a very heated debate about the merits of priority baggage handling.) Taxi to Malsi Hill View Homestays. The drive? Initially breathtaking…then a little terrifying. Winding roads, sheer drops, and the persistent feeling that a rogue landslide could decide to embrace us at any moment. (Dramatic? Maybe. But I swear, the driver winked at me as if to say, "Relax, seasoned traveler.")
- Afternoon: CHECK-IN! Oh, sweet, sweet relief. Found my little haven at the Malsi Hill View. The views… well, they live up to the name. Holy moly, the Himalayas! Took way too many photos. Like, the kind where you’re blocking the path and people are sighing. But come on, people, look at that scenery! Immediately dumped my bags and collapsed on the balcony chair, feeling like I could breathe again.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Exploration! A little walk around the area. Found a tiny, dusty shop selling fresh samosas. Ate three. No regrets. Ran into a gaggle of giggling schoolgirls who insisted on taking a selfie with the "foreigner lady". Felt a surge of pure, unadulterated joy. Ate the samosas again, and went back to the view.
- Evening: Dinner at the homestay (if available). Hopefully, they have some local delicacies. Fingers crossed for something spicy! If not… well, I might just stock up on those samosas again. Also, tried to negotiate with my wifi router… let’s just say it won.
- Emotional State: Overwhelmed with beauty. Slightly terrified of the roads. Hungry. Extremely happy.
Day 2: Waterfalls, Temples, and a Potential Spiritual Crisis
- Morning: Woke up to the sun gloriously hitting my face. (Because that’s what happens when you pay for a balcony room.) Intention: visit Sahastradhara (a famous waterfall). Reality: spent WAY too long staring at the view before actually moving.
- Mid-morning: Finally pried myself away from the balcony and drove to Sahastradhara. It's a lovely place, the water is all foamy and mystical. But…the parking situation was a nightmare. And the crowds! It was like a giant, sweaty, selfie-stick wielding… party. Lost my zen somewhere between the chai stall and the souvenir shop. Found it again, briefly, when I splashed my face with the waterfall.
- Afternoon: Decided to seek some actual, unmolested peace and quiet, so I head to Tapkeshwar Temple. It’s a Shiva temple inside a cave. The air is cool, and the energy… different. Meditated for a solid five minutes (which is a record for me).
- Late Afternoon: A complete meltdown. (Just kidding. Mostly.) Just kidding, it was the end of the world. Tried to figure out the meaning of life while staring at a goat. Sat at a park and thought, is this all there is? Really, who am I? Can I have more chai? The answer was, always, yes to chai.
- Evening: Dinner at the homestay (again). This time, I'm going to wear my "I am completely lost, but also kind of okay with it" face. Hopefully, dinner is good.
Day 3: Hiking (and the inevitable existential dread) at the Robber’s Cave
- Morning: Feeling bold (and slightly hungover from the previous evening's chai-fueled existential crisis), decided to hike to Robber's Cave! This is the highlight I was waiting for. So, I went with a new friend, a local who was eager to explore. And the place? It was magical. Water flowing through the mountains. A natural tunnel cave where you can walk through… it was all so lovely.
- Afternoon: At first, I loved it! Cool, dark, mysterious. A little chilly, too. But then? The water got deeper and the rocks were slippery. I was wearing sandals, and they weren't the best choice. I slipped. I nearly went full-on, head-first into the water. I saw my life flash before my eyes. (It was mostly awkward moments and bad haircuts.) My friend, bless her soul, grabbed me and saved me.
- Late afternoon: Traumatized, but with a good story. More chai. More sitting. More thinking. I should write a book about this trip!
- Evening: Packing. (Or, at least, attempting to.) My suitcase is a disaster zone of dirty clothes, souvenir trinkets, and a half-eaten packet of biscuits. Contemplating throwing everything out and starting over. Realize that’s basically my life’s motto. Dinner and drinks and reflecting about the amazing trip.
Day 4: Departure (and the bittersweet feeling of "I survived!")
- Morning: Last breakfast. Goodbye, beautiful view! Farewell, samosas! The drive to the airport. Reflect about all the things I did during the trip.
- Afternoon: Arrive at Jolly Grant Airport. One last deep breath of mountain air. Check in my luggage again. Say goodbye to the hills and to the trip to Dehradun. Thinking about the trip, I smile and start to think about planning the next journey.
Important Notes (because things will go wrong, trust me):
- Transportation: Hiring a car and driver is probably your best bet in Dehradun. Don't be afraid to haggle! Don't be surprised if your driver sings Bollywood songs at the top of his lungs. Embrace it.
- Food: Be adventurous! Try everything! (Except maybe that questionable street food. Just…use your gut instincts.)
- Altitude: Dehradun is at a reasonable altitude, but drink plenty of water. And take it easy on the first day.
- Packing: Pack light, but bring a light jacket or sweater for the evenings. And an open mind. Seriously, you'll need it. Also, comfortable shoes are non-negotiable.
- Embrace the Chaos: Things will not go according to plan. Embrace it. Get lost. Get confused. Laugh at yourself. The imperfections are what make the adventure.
- Most Importantly: Carry a journal. You’ll need to document the madness.
- And finally, remember to breathe. You’ll get through it. And you might actually enjoy it.
