The trip
A month is long enough to stop being a tourist. You get a rhythm: a morning at your desk with the valley out the window, a lunch you didn't have to plan, an afternoon walk or flight, and a village that starts to know your face. We handle the base, the wifi, the SIM and the on-the-ground stuff so you can just work and wander. Pick Bir Billing for the paragliding-and-monastery pace, or Dharamkot for forest trails and the yoga scene above McLeod Ganj — the setup is the same, the mood is your call.
Some trips you rush; this one you sink into. The 30-Day Workation is for people who want to actually live in the mountains for a month — remote workers, writers, founders between things, and anyone tired of racing through ten sights in three days. We set you up with a base in a vetted homestay or guesthouse, a proper place to work from (real wifi, a desk, and a cafe-and-mountains routine), a local SIM and the small setup stuff sorted, and someone local on call for the whole month. Choose Bir Billing — paragliders overhead, monasteries, slow cafes — or Dharamkot, the forest-and-yoga village above McLeod Ganj. Ship your work by four, hike or fly by five. From ₹30,000 for the month; tell us your dates and which hill, and we build the rest around you.

Week 1Land & settle+

Questions
Is it good for remote work / digital nomads?+
That's exactly who it's built for. You get reliable wifi, a desk, a SIM with data and a local on call — so your workday just works and your evenings are free for the mountains.
Bir Billing or Dharamkot — which should I pick?+
Bir is lower, sunnier and social — paragliding, monasteries and a lively cafe scene. Dharamkot is a forest village above McLeod Ganj with a strong yoga/meditation crowd and quieter trails. Same setup, different mood.
What does ₹30,000 cover?+
It's the starting price for your 30-night base, the work setup (wifi + desk), SIM/setup help, a welcome day out and on-call support. Food, travel to Dharamshala and any treks or flights are separate.
Can foreigners do this?+
Yes — a lot of our long-stayers are from abroad. Bring a valid visa and passport; we help with the local SIM, stay paperwork and getting around.
Can I stay longer than 30 days?+
Easily — just tell us and we extend the base. Many people who come for a month end up staying two.
