Himaja Retreat: The Hidden Boutique Stay Near Manali You’ll Fall in Love With

Most people know Manali as a bustling, tourist-heavy destination — full of cafes, traffic, and selfies. But just 3 km beyond the noise, there’s a place where time slows down and silence feels sacred.

Welcome to Himaja Retreat, a family-run boutique stay perched on a quiet hilltop surrounded by apple orchards, pine forests, and panoramic views of Rohtang Pass, the Beas River, and Jogini Waterfalls.

Here, the only sounds you’ll hear are birds, wind, and the soft laughter of travelers who finally found what they were looking for — peace.

Himaja Retreat is not a hotel; it’s a home built by a Kerala family that fell in love with Himachal. Every corner here reflects that warmth — from our open terraces and cozy rooms to the meals we lovingly prepare for our guests.

There’s no fixed menu here. Instead, we ask, “What do you feel like eating today?” Whether it’s Kerala-style fish curry, Himachali rajma-chawal, or a simple home-cooked soup by the fire, everything is made fresh and with care.

Our goal is simple: to bring you back to the feeling of being taken care of — the kind of comfort that hotels can’t quite offer.

Wake up to misty mornings, sip tea as clouds float past your balcony, and spend your days walking through forest trails, chasing waterfalls, or simply doing nothing — guilt-free.

At Himaja Retreat, you don’t just stay — you reconnect. With yourself, with nature, and with the people who welcome you like family.
