Himalayan Village Sonapani

Tranquility, serenity are the words which first come to your mind when you try to describe the property. If you want to detox yourself from the toxic city life, this is one of the best places to go. Nestled in the lap of nature, amidst dense forest, far far away from the noise of people and vehicles. The only sound you can hear are the chirping of birds, sound of crickets, the hissing of the wind passing through the pines and of course some barking of the in-house friendly doggies Jhumroo, Bhatku and another newcomer. The 12 cottages are at different tiers and provides enough privacy to sip your drinks in the balcony/verandah. The resort and rooms are decorated with a touch of class but matching with the nature. The food was homely, tasty, simple and served with love and care. The staff were always happy to help you. Mr Girish (owner) was personally present and overlooked everything. He was a nice person to talk to. Mr Ravi (the manager) was ready to support all your service needs like pick-up, drop, local outings, adventure activities or anything else you may need. Hot water was available round the clock through solar heating when we visited. Internet/mobile inside the room was not reliable but was working well outside, especially the dining area. The whole property gives you a homely feeling...you can sit anywhere and enjoy with a hot cup of tea/coffee or with a book or just lazily enjoy the nature. Quite a few short walking trails are present around the resort for a lazy stroll. The last 1 km to the resort is quite an experience.....the road is really difficult to negotiate but the local drivers can manage quite well. If you are self driving then you need good skill (or can call the resort...they can help you out). A final word.......we would love to have another visit to Sonapani.....we fell in love with it..........
