Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Kotwali Bazaar sits directly below on the hillside, and the Dharamshala Skyway ropeway terminal is a short walk away.
The rooms
Wooden balconies look out over pine forests, and rooms are furnished with vintage pieces and archival photographs.
Ayurveda and meditation
A dedicated hall hosts quiet meditation sessions, and therapists provide on-call Ayurvedic massage and nature cure treatments.
Restaurant
Dining Hall
Black-and-white checkered floors run beneath long laid tables serving North Indian, Chinese, and continental fare.
How it began
Built around 1800 for the Raja of Nadaun, the manor later served as home to India's third chief justice.
