Tucked away in Rukhla village of Himachal Pradesh, Himalayan Orchard is not your regular mountain stay. It’s a quiet, hands-on homestay where nature, food, and slow living come together beautifully. Built inside an old family orchard, the space is surrounded by apple, pear, and plum trees, offering guests a chance to disconnect from city chaos.

What makes this place special is the experience. Visitors don’t just stay here - they learn. From cheesemaking and small-batch beer brewing to sourdough baking and sausage making, the homestay hosts immersive workshops that turn a vacation into a skill-building retreat. Everything is intimate, personal, and rooted in sustainability.

Meals are farm-to-table, made using fresh produce grown on the property. Days begin with mountain air and end by the fireplace, with forest walks, birdwatching, yoga sessions, and long conversations in between.

With limited rooms and a calm, community vibe, Himalayan Orchard feels less like a hotel and more like a pause button on life - simple, warm, and deeply refreshing.
