RELAX IN SHILAROO VILLAGE
Try a weekend of pottery and yoga at the Shilaroo Project, spearheaded by sisters Virangana and Shubhangana Kainthla, who worked in cities for many years and chose to return to their roots in Shilaroo, 50km from Shimla. Having mastered pottery and hatha yoga, the Kainthla sisters created this haven to bring together the two forms, along with community organic farming, in an attempt to integrate physical, mental and spiritual equilibrium for visitors. You can stay in their beautiful living space, which has private rooms, a small dorm for student groups, a yoga studio that overlooks the surrounding mountains, and common dining and recreation spaces to eat, paint, read and relax (Theshilarooproject.com; about ₹10,000 a night for a couple, including meals, accommodation and classes).
