Life at the Shire

From quiet corners on the property to peaks in the Himalayas - there is always something waiting for you.

At the Property

Life at The Shire is not about filling every hour.

It is about slowing down, choosing how you spend your time - whether that means a morning yoga session on the lawn, an afternoon trail through apple orchards, or simply watching the clouds drift over the Kinnaur range from the balcony swing.

01

Space to breathe

At The Himalayan Shire, we believe in giving you space to breathe. Beyond your room, you’ll discover plenty of cozy common areas and quiet corners, each offering incredible panoramic views. Whether you want to read a book in our cozy carpeted attic, unwind on the balcony swing, or stroll across the lawn, there is always a perfect spot for some personal space.

02

Indoor Fun

Table Tennis, Carrom, board games, and playing cards. For quieter afternoons, explore our mini-library of books.

03

The TV Lounge

Sink into lounge sofas on the top floor and enjoy movies on our 65-inch LED Smart TV.

04

The Lawn

A sprawling lawn with Himalayan views - ideal for morning yoga or meditation. A small slide keeps the little ones entertained.

05

Nature Trails & Apple Orchards

Step into apple orchards and deodar forests right outside. Stroll through orchards, meet locals, or explore jungle trails steps from the property. Bonfire and barbeque available on request.
