Not a tour. A pause.
This is an invitation to the First Edition of our journey. We are heading to Tirthan Valley—not to tick sights off a list, but to sink into the rhythm of the river. We've curated a 6-night experience designed for the soul seeking a pause. We provide the structure; nature provides the silence & community provides the warmth. All you have to do is arrive.
Stubbornly Quiet: Tucked on the edge of the Great Himalayan National Park, this valley has resisted the rush of mass tourism.
Nature's Playlist: Here, the air smells of cedar and wet earth. The Tirthan river doesn't just flow; it roars, creating a constant, grounding white noise that silences the mind.
Spring in the Air: Expect crisp mountain sun, blooming rhododendrons, and cool nights perfect for a fire.
Soul Over Stars: A boutique, heritage wood-and-stone home with large open areas, chosen for its character. It breathes.
Built for Stillness: Features a library, sun-drenched gazebo, the river and a nature park close-by for sitting with your thoughts.
Delicious, Curated Meals: A carefully chosen menu bringing you the best—from authentic local delicacies to indulgent comfort classics.
Heart of the Home: The hosts, their staff and their gentle mountain dogs provide a warmth you'll miss long after you leave.
Moments captured while scouting the valley
Subject to the weather and the will of the mountains.
We gather at our valley sanctuary. As dusk falls, we settle in by the fire—not for ice-breakers, but for a simple circle of intentions to open the week. We leave the city behind and let the pause begin.
Awaken with yoga, followed by a slow walk to a nearby hamlet. We share lunch in a local home, tasting the valley's harvest and stories. The evening is unscripted—find a river boulder, open a book, or simply be. End the day with some group time.
A gentle start with birdwatching and guided reflection. The afternoon offers a pause for yourself. As evening sets in, we gather for folk music and dance, sharing the rhythm of the local community.
A hike to a hidden waterfall where we engage in an act of reciprocity—a small cleanup to honor the land. We end with a boulder walk by the river and stargazing under clear mountain skies.
Morning yoga in the gazebo, leading into a 5-course traditional Himachali feast—a slow, sensory exploration of heritage. Later, help an orchard owner with the afternoon chores. It is not work; it is a way of belonging.
We ascend to a hamlet in the clouds. We walk through apple orchards to a meadow picnic, then visit the local school to share stories and gifts. It is an afternoon of pure, unscripted connection, before closing with a farewell dinner and bonfire.
A final breakfast by the river. We leave the valley, not just with memories, but having found the stillness we came looking for.
Per person, twin-sharing. Additional cost for private room.
