Deodar & Stone
Things to do
The valley is the reason to come. These are the days our guests talk about.
Full day · About 12 km · Moderate
A day in the national park
Walk in from the Sai Ropa gate along the river, through deodar and oak, with a guide who knows the birds by their calls.
Mornings · Permit needed
Trout fishing on the river
The river below the garden is known for brown trout. Bring your own rod or borrow ours.
Day trip · Drive and a 5 km walk
Jalori Pass and Serolsar Lake
Drive up to the pass, then walk through the forest to a small lake and temple. Snow from December.
Half day · Easy
Village walk
Old stone-and-wood houses, apple orchards and the tower at Chehni Kothi.
Evenings · At the house
Bonfire evenings
On cold nights we light a fire in the garden. Bring a song.
Any time
Nothing at all
A chair on the porch, a book and the sound of the river. Most guests end up doing this.
