There are several beautiful walks & treks that start from Soulitude’s door.
If you are Soulitude and you do not go to Parital for a trek, then it is something that you are bound to regret for a long time to come! So, put on your trekking shoes and firm up your spirit ... and prepare yourself to see something that is going to have a profound effect – a pristine lake hidden in the hilly terrains, with rocks and boulders standing guard over the clear emerald pool, no less! Fed by a glacial stream that descends into this Lake in the form of a water fall, sliding in from one side, Parital has a mesmerising effect on its viewer. Tucked away, as if deliberately, by Nature to preserve its untouched natural beauty, Parital is accessible only through Soulitude. And we have done our best to keep it that way. Pure and Sacred!
Standing at the riverfront, if one were to look to the top of the hill across the river, is where Bametha Gaon is situated. The hilltop is a vantage point that affords a birds eye view of this entire river valley. ... Stunning views of Soulitude, comfortably perched on the side of the Kalsa river is visible from that height and so is Pari Taal with all its water veins as well as the Maheskhan hills oak forest.
Just beyond the gates of Soulitude, across the river followed by a short walk on the local village path through a heavily wooded area is a clearing with a small water spring that drains into a small pond. ... Since this spring is the source of potable water for the village, may we kindly request our guests to refrain from littering this space or indulging in any water activity. Those interested in bird watching, may like to venture further into the forest to view owls perched on the trees there.
Day in the Village – is a also just that! Spend a day exploring village Chanfi and the life of the simple village folk. Post breakfast, this outing starts at the Jhula Pul, an old suspension bridge built by the British ... over 200 years ago. Why this bridge was built is open to conjecture and an insightful perspective on this is to be gained from speaking to the villagers.
This beautiful, though steep uphill trek through the Pine forest takes one to the main road, going onwards to Padampuri. It provides good views from the top of the mountain towards the river valley. ... Conversely speaking, this is the alternate route that one undertakes to reach the property, during the monsoon when access to it via the regular trek is shut due to increased water levels in the river.
An hour long walk with our local naturalist through the private Farm on the property, fruiting trees and the vegetable patches while exploring the local flora and fauna of the hillside. ... Depending on the time and season, he will point out various birds and butterflies that home at the property during the walk.
Spend an hour with our chef at the Dhaba and learn how to make one of our signature dishes – or perhaps something that you have personally enjoyed eating at our retreat.
Or make that perfect cup of Masala chai. Experiment with flavouring this brand of cooked tea with whole spices and herbs freshly picked from the farm, to add that extra bit of warmth to each sip. ... Our staff would be happy to share their expertise as well home grown spices and herbs which will help you to replicate the dish at home. And maybe sometime you could teach us a thing or two as well… Our staff is eager to learn… Many a time some of our repeat guests, who treat Soulitude as their own home in the hills, have taught our chefs a few recipes that we make especially for them when they are with us. So their stay here actually feels like being at home, away from home! You could do the same!
When was the last time you ‘Scrabble’d or when was the last time your family ‘Monopoly’ized your time!? Or maybe just played a round of cards? Yes! Most of us don’t remember!
