The Lama House is an exceptional homestay above the hill town of Manali. Yomed Tulku, a Nyingma lama residing in Spiti Valley, designed this exquisite home on a land blessed by his guru with ancient Tibetan-Buddhist rites. This was once a centre of higher learning for chosen monks for four years, as it was powered and blessed by the positive and was favourable for meditation and learning. It's a place for open vistas, sun under the apple trees, cosy reading nooks, great coffee, and great company.
