About the Property:

Located on the banks of River Beas, close to Kullu-Manali, Himachal Pradesh, Neeralaya, is both the quintessential ‘little house by the river’ and that ‘secret place’. Surrounded by fruit trees, numerous natural alcoves and breath-taking scenic views of the Himalayas and the river, it seems to rise naturally from the ground – an impression strengthened largely because it has been built without disturbing the gently undulating contours of the lush green land.

Here, the silence is broken only by the chirping of the birds, the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of flowing water. Even thoughts sound unnaturally loud at Neeralaya.

More than anything, Neeralaya is a place that you chance upon and the more you explore it, the more forgotten pleasures you discover. A barefoot morning walk on fresh dew, an impromptu picnic, afternoon naps under a tree, reading a book undisturbed but for buzzing bee, fishing, trekking, doing nothing… are all part of the unforgettable stay here.

Away from the stress and the chaos of city life, with its charming timber and stone cottages and villas, fresh home-cooked food, simple natural attractions, tranquil but mesmerizing views, Neeralaya is perfect for an exclusive stay.

Rooms:

Stay amidst Nature in keeping with the natural rhythm of things, Neeralaya is built using the age-old technique of timber bonded architecture of the Western Himalayas. That is why, with its stone and timber walls and stretches of green, it looks as if it has just risen up from the ground by the river.

In terms of guest rooms, you can choose from luxury 2 BHK villas or one of the 7 Suites spread across 3 cottages – again all designed with recycled timber, stone and slate.

Villas and Cottages are amidst beautifully grown orchard with Plum, Apple, Apricot and other trees and lush green lawns

Some of the rooms have balconies and access to private gardens. But no matter which room you choose, you will always be surrounded by wide rolling space, fruit trees, the forest and of course, the softly gurgling river.
