REFINED SOLITUDE IN THE HIMALAYAS
Rooms
Handcrafted sanctuaries carved from local wood and stone, designed to breathe in rhythm with the mountain air.
THE PINNACLE OF HERITAGE
Royal Rooms
The Dhauladhar fills your window at 180 degrees. High sloping ceilings pull the room open, walnut wood floors catch the morning light, and stone detailing above the windows gives the walls a quiet richness. This is the room people come back for. Corner position on the first floor means the mountains are with you from every angle — when you wake up, when you sit down, when you do nothing at all.
HIGHER UP. MORE TO YOURSELF
Mountain Range Rooms
Higher up, with the mountains sitting just outside your balcony and the apple orchard stretching out below. The sloping ceilings in two of these rooms give them the feel of a private cottage — cozy without being small. Walnut furniture, wood floors, wide views. Named after three of Himachal's greatest mountain ranges because that's exactly what greets you every morning.
THE ONE EVERYONE KEEPS COMING BACK TO
Elite Rooms
Corner rooms on raised ground, with a large balcony and the mountains framed right in front of you. The sunlight moves through these rooms slowly — soft in the morning, warm by afternoon. Indian rosewood furniture, generous space at 440 sq ft, and enough quiet to make you forget there's anywhere else to be. ShivAdya's most popular rooms. Not hard to see why.
ROOM TO ACTUALLY BREATHE
Lake Rooms
The largest rooms on the property at 525 sq ft, named after two of Himachal's most beautiful lakes. A small kitchenette, a large balcony, mountain views, and enough space to actually spread out and settle in. One room sits on the ground floor with a flat ceiling, the other on the first floor with a high sloping ceiling — same generosity of space, different character. For when you're not just passing through.
TWO SIDES OF THE VALLEY
Mountain Pass Rooms
Two rooms named after two legendary passes — one with the mountains straight ahead, one with the orchard on one side and the mountains on the other. Both open out to a large balcony. At 400-420 sq ft with Indian rosewood furniture and the same handcrafted wood floors throughout, these rooms give you space, views, and the unhurried feeling that the best Himalayan stays always do.
ROOM TO FEEL THE MOUNTAINS
Luxury Rooms
First-floor rooms with high sloping ceilings and a shared sundeck that opens to the valley and the mountains beyond. Named after two of Himachal's most remote and storied destinations — Kalpa in Kinnaur and Kaza in Spiti — these rooms carry that same spirit. Cozy, warm, and higher up than they look. The kind of rooms guests consistently say they weren't prepared for. Book early. These go first.
THE ONE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME
Village Rooms
Ground floor rooms that open directly into the gardens and apple orchards. Wood walls, wood floors, local furniture — all of it treated with care to show the grain and colour in its most natural state. Named after two villages nearby, these rooms feel exactly like that — like staying in a home that belongs here. Unhurried, warm, and quietly lovely in a way that's hard to explain until you're in one.
