The mountains have always been an important part of my life. Be it unwinding, post-exams as a child or getting over a breakup during my teenage years or just wanting to escape the madness of the city life as a working adult, mountains have always been and will continue to be my supe therapy.

Look for this at the entrance!

After wandering about in dozens of hill towns, there is something that always makes me want to go back to one of my most favourite holiday destinations in the country, Shimla.

It provides a welcome sense of luxury, privacy and serenity, making it an ideal retreat for either a family holiday, a romantic getaway, or a corporate sojourn.

The resort, with its 54 elegantly appointed rooms & suites, is located a mere 30 minutes ahead of Shimla, between the picturesque town of Mashobra and the world-famous Naldehra Golf Course.
