Soulitude in the Himalayas is recommended for those who want to start on a journey of self-discovery. Call it a spot to take off on a spiritual progression, write that book that has waited too long in your head or just the ideal place to unplug from the city. Tempting though it is to just sink into a chair and stay put, fingers wrapped around a warm mug of tea, this is also a place to go on easy outdoor adventures. Gagar is the ideal jumping off point for several guided and easy hikes that you can do yourself. Visiting local villages, a horticulture walk, a temple trail, museum musings and more can fill the hours easily. Of course, most of the guests can’t get enough of the Himalayan views so it’s difficult to strip them off their chairs.
Nature’s playground is at your footsteps in Soulitude. The place urges no screen time naturally, as easy hikes, gardening and bird watching take over the day. There are ample nooks and corners in the property to curl up with a book.
Soulitude in the Himalayas truly gives one a taste of living in a mountain home. Ample use of natural materials like wood and stone blend well with the modern construction, sloping roofs and green environs, making the stay restive and comfortable at the same time. The unobstructed view of the mountains from all the floors is the single most delightful thing about the property. Inside, modern comforts meet tasteful cottage-like décor with fireplaces, minimalistic yet cosy wooden interiors and ample view of the Himalayas.
The concept is to have the facilities and amenities, but still get a taste of mountain life. Given that the property is so well equipped, this is a great place to work from. A refreshing ambience of the green sloping hills and fresh air, is surely more productive than city offices.
The 11 rooms on the property are wonderfully unlike each other, though equally charming in aesthetics and views. Rooms are divided into different categories – Suite, Junior Suite, Deluxe Double and three bed-room cottages, each christened a state of mind. All rooms are wood paneled, with decks that look out to the farming terraces carved out of the hills, gardens or the Himalayas. Artefacts collected from around the world and some from the family’s collection, books on various subjects, art on the wall, the colorful patch-work bed covers and embellished cushions, the sense of arty detailing and thought can surely not be missed in each room.
Delicious home-cooked food is the hallmark of mindful hospitality at Soulitude. Flavorful, simple and with great nutritional value, the property prides itself on creating dishes that you would remember for long. The beautifully tended gardens – collection of climbers and flowering shrubs lead down the hill to a herb garden of thyme, rosemary and Stevie, that invariably find themselves on your plate.
Tea and coffee making machines are available in the rooms for convenience. Enjoy meeting other guests at the community dining hall in the main house. While the day can be spent in splendid isolation, it’s nice to spend the evenings with like-minded travelers. Special experiences include AL fresco private dining under the skies or in the midst of nature. This can be arranged on special occasions if you book ahead.
