Welcome to 
​
Himalayan  Orchard 

 
A rustic farmstay in the Shimla Hills

Where comfort meets character
​

Welcome to Himalayan Orchard

A different kind of stay in the heart of the hills.

Not Your Usual Getaway

We’re not a 5-star resort—and that’s by choice. But we’re also far from ordinary. Our 75-year-old rural farmhouse offers something more personal: a thoughtfully curated, soulfully designed space full of character and history.

A Home That Grew Organically

This isn’t a purpose-built resort. Our farmhouse has evolved over time, with rooms nestled across various levels, each one unique in:

  • Size & Shape
  • Style & Theme
  • Views & Natural Light
  • Washroom Access & Construction Quality

No two rooms are alike—and that’s the beauty of it. Rates vary based on these features, giving you options that suit your preferences and budget.

Quality Over Uniformity

While we’re not polished in the typical hotel sense, we focus on what truly matters: comfort, aesthetics, and attention to detail. Our dedication to responsible hospitality has earned us a spot among the Top 10 Homestays in India (Responsible Tourism Awards, twice nominated), and features in multiple travel publications.

Spaces to Explore & Enjoy

As our guest, you’ll have access to thoughtfully designed spaces meant for connection, relaxation, and creativity:

  • Sky Terrace Patio — Breathtaking views and open skies
  • Lush Garden Spaces — Perfect for quiet moments or morning tea
  • Wood-Fired Pizza Oven — For delicious, rustic meals
  • Snooker & Table Tennis Rooms — Casual fun for all ages
  • Well-Stocked Library — Cozy up with a good book
  • Inspiring Art Studio — Let your creativity flow
  • Forest Yogashala — A peaceful retreat for the soul

Stay With Us

Whether you're seeking reflection, inspiration, or reconnection—with nature, yourself, or others—our farm offers an experience that’s rare and real.

We invite you to slow down, breathe deep, and discover a stay unlike any other.
