Deodara Villa

We woke up to the sound of the river every morning. The Kathkuni rooms are stunning — warm wood, stone walls and the softest linens. The farm-to-table food was the highlight; we even picked our own vegetables for dinner!

The Holt-Loft is pure magic — an A-frame room with glass walls and our own terrace facing the mountains. Perfect for our anniversary. The staff arranged a riverside dinner that we will never forget.

Came with family of eight and the interconnected Riveria rooms were ideal. Kids loved the trampoline, river splashing and pizza class. The road reaches right to the property, which made it easy with our tempo traveller.

Attended a yoga retreat here — morning sadhana on the lawn with deodar-covered hills all around, meditation by the river and wholesome meals. Deeply peaceful. Truly a “village of joy”.

The duplex in Deodara was so much fun for our group. Hosts suggested the Kaisdhar eco trail — a hidden gem. Clean rooms, hot water, great Wi-Fi and genuinely warm people.

A gorgeous hideaway away from the Manali crowds. Bijli Mahadev trek was spectacular and we came back to a bonfire and BBQ on the lawn. Would happily come back in apple season.
