About Rustic
Where stories are made and friendly neighborhood escapes come to life in the heart of the Himalayas.
Our Story
Three friends crossed paths as solo travelers on different trails. We swapped stories by bonfires, shared chai at roadside dhabas, and kept bumping into each other across Himachal. When the world hit pause during the lockdown, we decided to build something we wished existed: a warm mountain home where creativity, community, and good coffee are part of daily life.
That notebook idea became Rustic. Shoja grew first—our cozy, snow-kissed cafe where open mics and board games turned strangers into friends. Jibhi followed—a peaceful valley hostel with WiFi that actually works, power backup for remote workers, and nightly music that makes the mountains hum. Rustic is still that original dream: a place where work and wonder can live together.
