Amazing views of the Dhauladar mountain ranges. Lovely garden area. Staff are warm and welcoming. Food is fantastic (Chef Harmeet Singh can pull off continental food as well as he can Indian). Clean rooms, heater is available. The bathroom floor is heated as well, which is such a welcome addition in the cold. Lots of small trails around for those who would like to trek. Nights around a bonfire were the most beautiful. Peace and quiet for those like me who revel in nature, crisp mountain air, long walks and hot chai! The WIFI connection is amazing though this beautiful place is tucked away in the mountains. Mr Shashi, the manager is very knowledgeable and helpful with arranging transport for one to travel to McLeodganj or Dharamshala. Ajit, Kabir, Sanjeev, Ajay, Omi and Gautam are their wonderful staff, so ready to help you with anything.

There is truly nothing that I did not like, but be warned that the approach to the property is not for the faint hearted. There is a very bumpy car ride on stony paths from lower Dharamkot to upper Dharmakot (Gallu Temple). Then, there is a trek of about 15 minutes before you reach the hotel. They have escorts to help with luggage, but it would be prudent to travel light. The place, once you come upon it, is so worth the walk!

The staff are happy, helpful and very good at their work. The Manager, Mr. Shashi Kant Sharma, is a gem. Very helpful, courteous and responsive. The food is excellent - we had breakfast and dinner a couple of times and the preparations and menu were great. The property is very well furnished and well maintained. The location, of course, is unique - its in the middle of thick pine forests which you reach first through a 30 minute drive on an unmetalled road (through thick coniferous forests) and the last stretch is a 700 meters walk through the forests (the staff will help you carry your luggage).

Nothing that I could think of

This hotel has given us the dreamiest holiday we've ever wished for. The hotel is located literally in the middle of the forest and between the Himalayan mountains. We loved everything about our stay. The interiors had a great welcoming feel, it was warm and cozy, had an incredible lobby and a reading room filled with lots of books. The sunrise and sunset views from our room were literally out of a calendar. The chef, Harmeet Singh and his team, carefully curated a thought out, nutritious and mouth smacking meal for us thrice a day (fully included food board) and the fantastic hospitality by all the staff members including our server Kabir and our trekking guide Sanjeev was commendable. Special thanks to the hotel manager Mr. Shashi Kant who went above and beyond to ensure we had the most comfortable stay. We cannot wait to return back to this paradise! It is highly recommended if you'd like to spend a few days up in the mountains and enjoy surrounding activities.

The road coming up to the hotel was uncomfortable because there was ongoing construction leading to a rocky and bumpy ride, only tiny local taxis can go up and down the road. Let this not discourage you as once up in the mountains, it is absolutely worth it. The hotel has advised that the road construction is hopefully going to end soon leading to a much smoother road.

No words can describe the view of the Mountain range from this hotel. It’s probably as close you can get to the mountains in a super comfortable setting.

There is nothing not to like really. Perhaps one improvement could be replacing current toilet seats with heated toilet seats. It’s impressive enough already they have heated toilet tiles and bed mattress.

We had the most comfortable stay ever. The staff was very warm and looked after every need. The hotel has spectacular views and is a very well maintained property. The food was delicious and there were lots of local dishes along with a continental menu. The manager, Mr Shashi Kant made sure all our requirements were taken care of and helped us with transport. Highly recommend this place for people who would love to live away from the crowds and have the most beautiful view from the bedroom

The room, the premises of the hotel, the food, the staff Everything about this hotel was superb!

The short walk from road up to the hotel. However, the staff was very kind to help with the luggage.

Very quiet. Secluded. No noise whatsoever. In the Middle of the Forest, near Gallu Temple. Friendly staff, very good quality wifi. Great Place.

All Good.

The property is amazing! It’s away from the rest of the city and is extremely relaxing and peaceful. Bonus: They have horses!!! 🤍 The hospitality of the staff is so so heartwarming.
