House Manual

We use solar geysers. Solar geysers hold more hot water so the best time for a tub bath or a long shower is post 11a.m. by when the sun sufficiently heats the solar rods.
We also have electric geysers for overcast skies and should you want to take an early morning bath.
Kindly do not tinker with the knobs in the bathrooms or with any electricals. Please take the assistance of the caretaker should you require anything.
Shimla has a rhesus monkey problem. Kindly do not feed or engage them in any way. They can be aggressive and will enter the house if the windows or doors are left ajar. Kindly keep them shut at all times.
Kindly adhere to our NO NOISE policy at all times.
