I had the pleasure of staying at Nomad Gao, Dharamkot, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The space is not just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to make your time as comfortable as possible. Their hospitality goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed and well taken care of. From offering personalized recommendations to ensuring that all the little needs are met, they create an atmosphere of warmth and community that makes you never want to leave. Whether it was helping us with logistics, organizing events like Bonfire, karaoke nights, food walks etc to bring the guests together, or just offering a friendly smile, they truly made the experience memorable.
The space itself is beautiful—immaculately clean, with plenty of cozy nooks for relaxation, and thoughtfully designed common areas that encourage interaction while still offering privacy when needed. The cafe on the roof top- The Nook has a picturesque view and serves decent food. Nomad Gao also offers a fantastic co-working space for anyone needing a productive environment. The space is well-equipped with high-speed internet, comfortable workstations, and plenty of natural light, creating an ideal atmosphere for focus and creativity. Whether you need a quiet corner or a more collaborative setup, the coworking area provides the flexibility to work in a way that suits you. It’s a great blend of productivity and comfort, making it easy to stay on top of work while enjoying the relaxed vibe of the mountains.
The vibe of this place is laid-back yet vibrant, perfect for digital nomads or anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. It’s clear that a lot of effort went into curating an environment that fosters both productivity and connection.
What really stood out to me was the sense of community and the genuine connections that are made here. It’s a rare gem where the hosts go out of their way to ensure that everyone feels included, and there’s a palpable energy of collaboration and support. Whether you’re there for a short stay or a longer one, Nomad Gao offers a sense of belonging that’s hard to find elsewhere. I highly recommend Nomad Gao for anyone looking for a place to stay in Dharamkot or Goa. You’re not just renting a room—you’re gaining an experience that will leave you with lasting memories. Kudos to Anisa- the community manager, Mamta-Munish from housekeeping and Mayur- the owner for making my stay...
Read moreIt’s been quite sometime, but better late than never! Almost a year ago, I went on a trip to Himachal-Dharamkot; my first ever solo trip up north! I had also just gotten into a brand new, coveted job but was then working remotely. The trip also almost coincided with Nomadgao launching their Dharamkot branch, but they were still a few days away from it. With a new job in hand, getting a place with reliable internet connection, was important but was also not an easy ask. I knew how difficult it is to get a decent Internet line up in the mountains! But if anyone could, I knew it would be the Nomadgao team.
I was initially lodging in a different place and was hoping I could shift to Nomadgao, to be able to be worry-free during my working hours, yet be able to enjoy the mountain life rest of the day. The location is also central with easy access to cafe-life of Dharamkot, yet having rooms and terraces that open up to the magnificent views of the Dauladhar range! So I reached out to them cause I’d stayed in their Goa - Villa Nova complex few months before this trip. I felt privileged, as Mayur, Joy, Shahzada, Akash and Priya… their team literally went out of their way, to arrange and get a room ready for me, despite their planned launch being a few days later! And once I moved in, they left no stones unturned to ensure that my stay and work-time there was comfortable. Oh and the rooms were super cosy with views to kill for! If you’re an interior-décor enthusiast, you’ll love the vibe of the place!
During my stay, this one time, I remember I had a very important meeting on one of the mornings. A critical presentation, that I was also slightly nervous about, since it was a new job. I’ll always remember and be grateful for how the Nomadgao team ensured it would go smoothly, by double checking all the connections, making additional arrangements and back up plans, and more than anything else, wished me luck with big smiles on their faces!
It’s not just about the stay and the workspace…. but being around for cafe-hopping to barbecue-nights, from making new friends to discussing life… You literally defined, what a community means ♥️ Home away from home. Thank you Nomadgao team, for this memorable & heartwarming experience for...
Read moreIt was great staying at Nomadgaon in Dharamkot, Himachal Pradesh. I would recommend it to travelers of all ages.
ACCESS Easy. Rs 10k by flight from Delhi to Gaggal airport, roundtrip. Then Rs 1200 by taxi to Dharamkot.
ACCOMODATION Reasonably priced - Rs 2.7k approx when I went (subject to change). The prices lower if you stay for a week or month.
Lovely common area overlooking the mountains, we would be in front of gorgeous views and spent ages watching clouds come and go over the mountains by just stepping out of our room.
Met other people, had leisurely chats- guests (mostly israeli), fab volunteers who are full fledged professionals volunteering at Nomadgaon for stay.
The working space on top helped my husband get into the work zone properly. I took care of the baby and we had frequent hellos, check-ins and ate together.
At Nomadgaon don’t expect top level hotel treatment, it is a collaborative living space. Ask if their kitchen is functional or not in case you need it.
After staying here and enjoying the company of fellow travelers here I am going to search for similar places for my future stays.
It’s friendly, clean and peaceful.
ACTIVITIES
We went on a hike to Gallu, had a bonfire party night with guests and volunteers. Was not expecting such warmth and revelry on a tourist type of trip. Everyone helped make plans around the baby
In Dharamkot, there is mainly one road with cute shops and cafes, not a big or busy place. Lovely desserts. 2km from Mcleodganj.
Nomadgaon has a good eating option just outside; Mini mart that serves Rs 100 thali.
When you stay for a few days you start going a layer deep, like getting involved with sketching classes, yoga classes,...
