10 Boutique Himalayan Village Getaways Off the Beaten Track

Evocatively named Soulitude nourishes the soul with abundant tranquility, mesmerizing views, and scrumptious cuisine prepared with ingredients from the organic orchard. Perched on a quiet hillside, it has 10 rooms and suites. Choose the rustic style Bliss suite, with fireplace, sunken bathtub, and skylights for stargazing. Or, if you prefer extra privacy, the Nirvana suite has its own entrance away from the main building. A day trip to Soulitude by the Riverside (a 45 minutes drive from Ramgarh, followed by a 30 minute hike through a tiny mountain village) is highly recommended. This restored rural home, adjoining a glacial stream and natural rock pool, also offers two bedrooms for guests who wish to stay there.
