Higher Perspectives

Some experiences lift you higher. Whether it’s the purity of Himalayan air or the simple pleasure of celebrating another year. This week we pause to celebrate and appreciate our Members while marveling at how the altitude of Manali and Dharamshala can change your perspective.

High on Adventure. High on Soul

Some highs are impossible to value: the rush of fresh mountain air, a vast Himalayan view, flavours that warm you from within, and the clarity that comes from stepping out of the fray. Forget hibernation, get back to nature, find your frequency, and reset at altitude. Winter, as it happens, is the perfect time to begin.

Karma Utopia, Manali | Manali In Its Element

From mornings that start with temple bells to days that end with Himachali dishes, there is something magically elemental about the sharpened winter focus of Manali. Just a short walk from the historic 15th-century Hadimba Devi Temple, you’ll find the modern luxury and warm hospitality of Karma Utopia – your perfect base for exploring the valley.

Ways to Get a Buzz in Manali

• Solang Valley: There’s snow and then there’s snow beneath Himalayan peaks.  
• Hadimba Devi Temple: How have almost five centuries of exquisite wooden craftsmanship survived? Touch this mystery beneath groves of cedar trees.  
• Old Manali: Peek into fascinating Himalayan culture as you wander quiet lanes, authentic cafés and local shops of this atmospheric neighbourhood.
• Vashisht: Hot springs? Yes. Explore the hillside village, ancient temple and natural hot springs above the Beas Valley.
• Cedar Forests: Breathe, meditate, pray and contemplate as you take a scenic route beneath towering deodars.  

Taste the Mountains with Kangri Dhaam as you work your way through a traditional Himachali feast that places local flavours and regional favourites centre stage.

Karma Tashi, Dharamshala | Find Your Frequency

In Dharamshala, the high life takes a slower turn. Follow forest trails, explore Tibetan monasteries and the streets of McLeod Ganj, discover local traditions and take in panoramic views of the Dhauladhar range. Back at Karma Tashi, settle into warm hospitality, fireside evenings and Tibetan and Himachali flavours that invite you to linger.

Find Your Frequency

• Allow Tibetan culture to change you from the inside as monasteries, temples and other cultural landmarks around Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj amaze you.
• Breathe in the air of the forested mountain trails as the Dhauladhar range creates a spectacular backdrop.
• Naati: Experience Himachali folk culture through traditional music and dance.
• Slow Evenings: Put the schedule aside for fireside warmth, mountain air and uninterrupted views.

Taste the hearty, warming flavours of the Himalayas, from Tibetan momos and steaming thukpa to time-honoured Himachali Dham and fragrant aloo palda.
