This hotel offers a peaceful getaway away from the hustle and bustle of Dharamshala, with nice views from the rooms. The staff are exceptionally friendly and make you feel at home.

My stay at this resort was a mixed bag. On one hand, the location is stunning with breathtaking views and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff was genuinely helpful and contributed positively to our experience. However, the resort definitely needs renovations and improvements in heating throughout the property, especially in dining areas. All things considered, I would say it offers good value for money, but there are definitely areas that require enhancement.
