THE EXPERIENCE

"Wabi-Sabi [ wah-bee-sah-bee ] • Japanese : (n.) The beauty and appreciation of things imperfect & impermanent; accepting the flow of life."

This quiet and peaceful village embodies the essence of rural Himachal Pradesh, inviting travellers to experience the simplicity and authenticity of slow mountain living.

 

Perched in the heart of Pangan and reachable only by a 10 minute hike, Hushstay x Hunzuru is a 05 bedroom eco-chic retreat that seamlessly blends eco-conscious design with breathtaking panoramas, and rustic charm. 

​

The house exquisitely embraces the wabi-sabi philosophy, celebrating the raw beauty of natural materials and design forms. Each nook is thoughtfully arranged to encourage intimate exchanges and exploration, creating a space that beckons you to engage in intimate conversations with your surroundings and with each other.

​

Thoughtfully designed by Tharbus Designs, this Manali homestay is a manifestation of harmony with the surrounding landscape. Throughout the homestay, one encounters a symphony of natural materials, including rugged stone walls, rich wooden accents, and handcrafted furnishings.

This unique layout beckons guests to enjoy leisurely conversations and quiet moments of contemplation. The upper 02 floors house five charming bedrooms, each offering a cozy sanctuary. Dipped in a palette of natural colors and enhanced by wooden flooring, the bedrooms ensure restful nights while offering uninterrupted views of the Himalayan landscape through their oversized windows and private balcony.

Whether you're seeking a cozy corner for intimate exchanges or an adventurous escape into the heart of the mountains, this architectural gem has it all.

ROOMS

THE ROOMS

Hushstay x Hunzuru's five bedrooms, consisting of 04 similar rooms and 01 master suite, are each infused with natural materials that merge meticulously with the Himalayan outdoors. The thick mud walls, crafted through an age-old practice of mud-plastering transport you back to a time-honored way of life.

​

Himalayan motifs grace the rugs, and wooden flooring resonates with the rustic charm of the region. Handmade lamps cast a warm, inviting glow, while large windows and balconies frame breathtaking mountain vistas, allowing the Himalayan sunlight to dapple the interiors. The muted color palette, inspired by the earthy tones of the rich soil and weathered rocks, imbues the space with a soothing presence that grounds you in the natural surroundings.

​

The master suite stands out with its stone and wood-dominated materials, featuring a four-poster bed thoughtfully positioned to maximize panoramic views. The calming greys of the local stone and the mossy green accents drawn from the surrounding flora create an ambience of pure tranquillity. These rooms offer more than just a place to sleep; they provide an immersive connection to the Himalayan landscape and an experience of living in harmony with nature.
