Agneya — Multi-Cuisine

A table set under the stars.

Our restaurant Agneya is a quiet meeting of cultures — where Kumaoni hill cooking meets continental finesse, and a candlelit dinner on the lawn becomes a memory.

Choose from à la carte menus or lavish buffets. Wine pairings, private dining experiences, and bespoke menus for anniversaries and proposals can all be arranged with a quiet word to the maître d'hôtel.

Curated for connoisseurs

Kriya — The Spa

Stillness, sourced from the mountain.

Therapies built on Ayurvedic intuition and Himalayan ingredients — designed to slow the breath and renew the bond.

Our signature Rang-Ullaas couples' ritual is a 90-minute synchronised massage. Other rituals include aromatherapy, Himalayan stone work, and a forest bathing immersion through the chir pine canopy.

A retreat for two

Taran Kund — Infinity Pool

Where the water meets the sky.

A temperature-controlled open-air pool whose horizon dissolves into the Himalayan range.

Begin the day with a sunrise swim. Linger through the afternoon with a cocktail by the deck. End the day stargazing as the snow line catches moonlight.

Open year-round
