ABOUT EAGLE'S NEST RESIDENCE
Set in over 50 acres of cedar, oak and rhododendron, situated
in the splendid Himalayan foothills (6,808ft/2,042m), overlooking
the Kangra and Kullu Valleys, and the palace of the Dalai Lama,
amidst his community in exile from Tibet. This unusual and beautiful
corner of India has the snowcapped Dhauladar mountain range as
its spectacular backdrop - providing stunning views from our garden.
Eagle's Nest is an ideal spot for centre-based
trekking, walking and visitig local sights, or as a base from
which to attend the many local ashrams, yoga/meditation classes,
or as a retreat.
THE HOUSE
is an accumulation of the surrounding influences; each en-suite
apartment is decorated in a style: Moghal,
Tibetan, British
Raj and Kashmiri.
We have our own spring water.
Our dining facilities include European and Asian cuisine.
The House manager is on hand during the day to arrange laundry,
or snacks/ drinks, or you help yourself.

We want everyone to feel happy, relaxed - and have
a great time.
EAGLE'S NEST INFO
Our land is one of the few places in the world where
you may see wild leopards; because there is no road near and few
people other than local villagers, many wild animals and birds
inhabit this unspoilt environment. There are also bears, langur
monkeys, pine martens and many beautiful birds.
Best
times to visit: mid-March to June, October to December
NB: You will arrive either by taxi, and a short walk to the house,
or a shorter taxi ride and a walk uphill - albeit beautiful -
of 30 minutes, to reach our private land: but don't worry - porters
are provided (you can also ride up by horse)
Temperatures: hot in the sun, cool or cold at night depending
on the time of year
