The words 'rest' and 'Himalayas' are not often seen in the same sentence but in this case they go hand in hand. Wildflower Hall is a truly incredible retreat set in the heart of the Himalayas, which offers mind-blowing mountain views and utter tranquillity (and even a bit of adventure thrown in for those who want it).
Need to escape the stress of everyday city life and enter a realm of peace and quiet? This place is for you. Set deep within the Himalayas, a forty-five minute drive through picturesque forested hills from Shimla, this sanctuary of well being offers you total peaceful isolation. It is positioned at 8,250 feet high on a hill and boasts infinite views of rugged mountains, snow-clad peaks, verdant meadows and cedar forests.
Flying into Delhi you can spend your first night in this bustling Indian city before retreating to the mountains. A short domestic flight will take you to Shimla where you will then be transferred to your majestic home for the week. From Wildflower you can venture out and explore the fascinating flora and fauna of the region and embark on some adventure activities. Trek some of the mountain trails through endless cedar and pine forests; take a bike (or even a horse) and ride the picturesque paths. For a real adrenalin buzz, head for the water - raft down the surging River Sutlej through magnificent canyons, fields, hamlets, and pristine sandy beaches. and the best bit? You'll finish up with a soak in the hot sulphur springs at Tattapani, famous for their therapeutic powers.
Alternatively Wildflower is completely equipped for you to sit back and enjoy the exclusive environment from the resort. Take advantage of the spa pavilions, indoor swimming pool and outdoor Jacuzzi - perfect for sheer relaxation. You can also exercise some new skills such as playing croquet, ice-skating, billiards and archery or try your hand at an evening in the Card Room.
Whichever season and however you plan to spend your time at Wildflower (whether you choose to take in the world or play in it) you'll undoubtedly love this spiritual break - the perfect way to revitalise and energise mind, body and soul.
