The private spaces

Luxurious rooms (with en-suite facilities), each with individual sit-outs overlooking the Churdhar Range. These rooms are ideal for individuals or couples looking for a quiet and speculative time. Each room is amply furnished with easy chairs, cupboards, a dressing table, and a little balcony sit-out.
Breakfast is included, additionally an a la carte menu is available as well. We primarily focus on using local, farm to table, homemade vegetarian ingridients and food.

There are several common areas in the building which the guests are welcome to explore during their stay! (All the rooms are located on the first floor of the main building)
The expansive lounge adjacent to the kitchen is always a favorite for conversations, playing board games, or simply savoring the panoramic views on the wooden swing. The lounge leads to a community dining area to encourage wholesome social interactions among the guests.
For those looking to work or use their time creatively, the generous attic library is the ultimate space filled with a variety of books, art supplies, easels, sunlight, and mountain vistas. We believe in living as sustainable a life as we possibly can! in keeping true to this lifestyle, most of the furniture, cutlery, some little pieces, and practices to build up the project have been up-cycled, re-cycled, or made using natural materials.
