Himachal Pradesh Announces Public Booking for 20% State Guesthouses and Circuit Houses Online
Himachal Pradesh Government Opens Rooms for Direct Online Booking
The Himachal Pradesh government has taken a significant step in making its state-run accommodations more accessible to the general public. As of Wednesday, 20% of rooms in state Bhawan and Sadan in Delhi, Sadan in Chandigarh, and the Willy's Park circuit house in Shimla have been opened for direct online booking.
This move was made possible after the general administration department (GAD) notified 24 rooms under its control at these sites as "commercial", making them available for online booking. With this change, the rooms can now be booked directly online up to seven days in advance, replacing the earlier system where reservations were routed through the GAD.
Key Details
| Location | Total Rooms | GAD-Controlled Rooms | HPTDC-Controlled Rooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Himachal Bhawan, New Delhi | 50 | 29 | 21 |
| Himachal Sadan, Chandigarh | 19 | 19 | 0 |
| Himachal Bhawan, Chandigarh | 49 | 29 | 20 |
| Willy's Park circuit house, Shimla | 79 | 49 | 30 |
