The Sonaugi Homestead, Kullu, Himachal Pradesh

Far From the Madding Crowd!
Anuj:
  • Deodar forests, mountain views, fresh air, open orchards...we could go on!
  • Tucked away in the hills above Kullu town, it's not easy to reach, but once you get here - you're glad you did!
  • ​Beautiful birds, so many Himalayan flowers, the distant sound of the river Beas
  • The majestic Himalayan peaks of the Dhauladhars before you, wide open spaces, forests and the serenity.
  • This is a gem of a Himalayan holiday place which you really must visit. It's ideal for couples or families.
​We'd heard about this place, and frankly thought it was too good to be true. The only way to be sure was to go there for ourselves and check it out. Tucked in the hills above Kullu town, it's not the easiest place to get to, but thankfully this has saved it from the crowds and din below. As soon as you reach, you feel the peace descend upon you like butterfly wings. 

There's plenty to do here; short walks down to the river, through the forest, head up to the village of Janna (one of the oldest in the valley), or just relax, read a good book and let the kids play in the orchards and fields. Our travelling companion was a 2 year old who had the best time just running around in the fresh air.

The gorgeous rooms are more like a home than a hotel, with living room, lounge area, private corners and those oh so comfortable beds with fantastic views. Hot and cold running water in the bathrooms makes this a home away from home. The communal dining and library area is just a short walk from your room and here you can enjoy a fire in the colder months and the company of other guests, or just sit and contemplate.
