Housed in an apple orchard built on the principles of Natural farming practices, our family-run holistic residency in Himachal, The Shilaroo Project provides restful accommodations ranging from private rooms to shared living options. As well as, wholesome and nutritious farm-fresh vegetarian meals with panoramic views of the Churdhar range. The Shilaroo Project also offers workshops on yoga and pottery. To know more about classes, check our website. The main building of the Shilaroo Project is located in a corner of the farm to maximize the amount of land left over for agriculture waste-water treatment, rain-water harvesting systems, solar energy driven backup and the pottery studio. In order to passively heat the building, it is oriented such that it faces south by south-west so as to receive the maximum amount of sun. To further help with heating, the extensive use of glass ensures that the building remains warm even in the peak of winter without any active heating. The material palette of exposed brick, terracotta and wood, lend it additional visual warmth. The private spaces include two private double rooms (with en-suite facilities), each with individual sit-outs over-looking the Churdhar Range. These rooms are ideal for individuals or couples those looking for a quiet and speculative time. Each room is amply furnished with easy chairs, cupboards, dressing table and drop-down table in the balcony. There are several common areas in the building which the guests are welcome to explore during their stay. The expansive lounge adjacent to the kitchen is always a favorite for conversations, playing board games or simply savoring the panoramic views on the wooden swing. The lounge leads to a community dining area to encourage wholesome social interactions among the guests. Those looking to work or use their time creatively, the generous attic-library is the ultimate space filled with a variety of books, art supplies, easels, sunlight and mountain vistas. We offer Complimentary breakfast. Lunch and dinner, snacks and beverages are offered at an added cost.
The space: The house is gorgeous and you can see the thought that has gone into the building and how nature has influenced each design element. The rooms are super cosy with little private gardens/balconies that have a great view of the valley/mountains. The attic is the perfect place to curl up with a book! :) The food: The food is AMAZING! Most of the ingredients are grown on the farm and are super fresh and delicious. Sonu bhaiyya, the cook, is incredibly sweet and passionate and, of course, a wonderful cook and baker. The people: Shubhangna and Virangna are great at what they do and super helpful. The staff is extremely warm, caring, and cheerful. Bipin bhaiyya, the caretaker, is always around to help - be it to shoo away a spider or fix odds and ends. The Shilaroo Project is an incredible place and is a wonderful getaway. Every time I go, I'm loth to leave - irrespective of whether its been 2 days or 20.
Shilaroo is a small highway village located about 55km ahead of Shimla. Keeping this in mind we ask the guest to appropriate their expectations of things to do with this setting. One can go for forest walks, on trails around the project, visit the local market or the revered and sacred Manan temple. Guests can also make the journey to the newly opened Khadu adventure cafe in Nanni or hop over to Narkanda town for Skiing in the winters or just soak in the snow-peaked Himalayan mountains. Also, for hikers the option of Hatu peak is available.
We can help arrange for taxis to travel to and fro. One can also journey on the local buses, which are frequently available.
