Welcome to Himalayan Orchard
A rustic farmstay in the Shimla hills,
Somewhere you can just settle

Not Your Usual Getaway
A lived-in, working farmstead

Our 75-year-old farmhouse offers something more personal: it is a lived-in space — part home, part ongoing experiment - growing organically over time. Guests share our routine: meals around the table, woodfires in winter, short power cuts, sudden weather, long walks, or helping out when there’s fruit to pit or fires to light.

We host just a few guests at a time, and are especially suited to those seeking time for reflection, walking, or writing — or simply for being still.
What Makes Us Different
Comfort Without Conformity
Each space has its own character, shaped by nature, history, and a love for quaintness & beauty. No two rooms are the same. Instead of polished uniformity, we offer warmth, simplicity, and thoughtful detail. A place where the things that matter take centre stage.
Come Slow Down With Us
Whether you're seeking reflection, inspiration, or re-connection—with nature, yourself, or others—our hillside farm offers an experience that’s rare and real.

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