This is the listing of our new property:-The extension of "JASMISH COTTAGE"
The spacious bedroom is tastefully built like a suite. It has a small sitting area, dressing area and a clean modern en-suite washroom. The room opens into a covered running verandah where one can sit the whole day and oogle the beautiful snow clad Dholadhar mountains. The verandah further extends to an open 15 feet patio which is beautifully slate paved. It has a lovely cedar wood super king size bed (6 1/2 ft long and 6 ft across) The room can comfortably accommodate 3 guests with the addition of a sofa cum futon.
Location:
We are located at Sidhpur Dharamshala, India. At an altitude of about 5000 feet and are a stone's throw away from the magnificent "Norbulingka Institute". Visit to this institute is an art lover's dream come true. You get to see artisans actually at work, making intricate 'thangka paintings', metal craft, traditional Tibetan dresses & beautiful wood carvings. The handicraft center, main temple & the doll museum of the institute will enthrall you for days. The Gyuto monastery (home to the Karma Pa), Dolma ling nunnery, Thosamling, Chinmaya Tapovan Ashram, Akhanjar Mahadev temple, IndruNag (hang gliding site), the cricket stadium & Trek to Kharota are some interesting places in close vicinity that have the right amount of ecstasy to provide you with soulful comfort.
As you step into the cottage it exudes:- "Space & Warmth".
Solid wooden doors, thick stone walls, The large windows that bring the lavish outdoors inside. The super king size wooden beds, the orthopedic mattress, the shower panel in the washroom, thoughtful touches all over and you go............ "Wow"!
We have the cleanest washroom in town!
The room is a beautiful blend of old-world charm and modern comfort, devoid of urban noise and hustle. An alpine stream nearby soothes and rejuvenates your tired soul to tranquility. It is perfect for spending few hushed days reading, writing or just lazing around, perfect for the times when life needs a splash of lavishness.
Proceeding to the large air-conditioned (both hot & cold) bedroom , you are greeted with wooden walls, a large super king sized bed of solid cedar wood, cozy window seats, and vintage-inspired accessories that will transport you to a bygone era. We have recently renovated this room with love and meticulous care so that you: 'Our Guest' can have a relaxed holiday. Please note in case of a power failure the air-conditioner does not work.
Periodic buses ply from outside the property & a taxi stand is just 300 mtr away. We are a "drive in" for even the largest of cars, ensuring even your car is pampered with safety and security of a gated compound. Last but not the least, you do not have to climb a single step to access the room. A boon for the elderly and the differently abled.
We invite you to climb on the terrace to get great UN-interrupted mountain view and watch the pristine open fields on the west side. An alpine rivulet at the rear invites you for a dip. We have made endeavors not to disturb the outside surroundings and create an Eco-system so as to resemble an UN-disturbed forest. We are home to a large bird population which add surreal beauty to the place. All this makes it a perfect getaway for spending few hushed days reading, writing or just lazing around. In short :-
"A rejuvenating and relaxing holiday".
Whether you are a honeymooning couple, a family on a vacation, or simply a soul in search of adventure, spiritualism, or your inner self, you are bound to have a wonderfully, fulfilling stay with us.
