Find Peace Beyond the Crowds

If you’ve been scrolling through hotels in Manali, you’ve probably seen dozens of places — but most of them are packed, noisy, and commercial.

That’s why we built Himaja Retreat, a Kerala family-run boutique stay just 3 km from Old Manali — where peace still exists.

Here’s why our guests call it the best boutique stay in Manali 👇

🌿 1. Location: Close to Everything, Yet Blissfully Quiet

Perched on a hilltop surrounded by apple orchards, Himaja Retreat gives you 180° views of Rohtang Pass, Jogini Waterfalls, and the Beas River — all just 10 minutes from the main town.

You get the peace of nature without being cut off from Manali’s charm.

🍲 2. Food Cooked from the Heart

We don’t serve menus — we serve moods. From Kerala-style fish curry to Himachali rajma-chawal, every meal is cooked with care and served with love.

Guests often say, “It felt like eating at home, but with a view of the Himalayas.”

🪵 3. A Home, Not a Hotel

Our retreat has just a few cozy rooms — each designed personally by our family. You’ll find handmade furniture, warm wooden interiors, and windows that open to clouds and birdsong.

🔥 4. Nights by the Bonfire

Every evening, the mountain sky turns pink, the air gets chilly, and we light up a bonfire under the stars. Whether you’re solo, a couple, or a small group, this is where real conversations begin.

💚 5. Authentic Hospitality

We don’t just host — we connect. Whether it’s recommending local trails, sharing stories of Himachal life, or arranging jeep rides to snow points — our family makes sure you feel at home.

Discover a Side of Manali That Few Travelers Ever See

Manali is known for its bustle — but if you walk (or drive) just 3 km beyond Old Manali, you’ll find a different world.

At the edge of the forest, surrounded by apple orchards and overlooking Jogini Waterfall, stands a little paradise called Himaja Retreat.

🌿 Where Nature is Your Neighbor

Wake up to the sound of birds, sip chai as mist floats across the valley, and watch waterfalls glisten in the sun — all from your balcony.

Our retreat faces Rohtang Pass and the Beas River, offering one of the best panoramic views in Manali.

🏡 A Kerala Family in Himachal

We’re a Kerala family who made the Himalayas our home. Himaja Retreat was built with the dream of creating a space that feels both rooted and warm — where guests are treated like family.

We cook, serve, and host personally. Our guests often say they came for a weekend and stayed for a week.
