The rustic property is spread across 10 luxurious suites, nestled in pairs across 5 structures, one on top of the other, with private overlapping terraces and bay windows offering gorgeous views of the Himalayas. The main building of the resort is the one that hosts the lounge, spa, library and a dining area.
What’s most interesting is that the dining area sits in a cantilevered structure of floor-to-ceiling glass. This means that the dining area is fixed at only one end while the other end is suspended over the valley below. Now that’s really something, isn’t it?
