Ananda - Luxury Stay in Dharamshala + All Meals

Ananda is where mornings begin with sunlight pouring in from the valley. The balcony opens to wide, open views of the hills, especially beautiful at sunrise. It has everything you need to settle in comfortably: a kitchenette, a bright bathroom with a rain shower, a small dining corner, and a sofa to stretch out. Your stay includes all meals — from tea and coffee to every meal of the day — plus laundry. Relax while we take care of everything and pamper you with nourishing food and comfort. The space Araam is tucked away just a short 5–6 minute walk from the main road. Parking is available at the start of the path, and we recommend wearing comfortable shoes—it’s all part of the peaceful journey! A member of our team will meet you there to guide you and help carry your luggage to the homestay. If you have knee concerns, mobility issues, or any health condition that makes walking difficult, kindly inform us before booking. We’ll do our best to arrange support, but if that isn’t possible, we may not be able to accept the booking. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to our little haven.

Other things to note There is no parking space at the property. Like everyone in the village, guests park on the main road (approx. 300m away) and enjoy a 5-minute walk to the homestay. A team member will meet you, guide you, and help with luggage. The village is home to sheep, dogs, cats, goats, cows, and buffaloes — you’ll likely see them around. Being nestled in nature, you may come across spiders, flies, or small insects. They’re harmless, and our staff will happily help if you’d like them removed. Please avoid loud music after 9:00 pm out of respect for our village community. We proudly serve coffee from Pahadee Coffee Roasters (Bir) and tea from Wah Tea Estate — do try them during your stay. Extra bedding can be provided on request. Kids and trained pets are welcome. Please note, we also have a friendly German Shepherd on the property. We do experience occasional power cuts, but we have a backup that supports one charging point, a light in the room, and the bathroom. You can request a sound healing or guided meditation session with us during your stay. These are offered on request and subject to availability.
