Mornings in Thanedar

Wake up to a breathtaking view of white clouds gently floating over the valley and it's lush orchards. The crisp air, complete with a scent of apple blossoms, invites you to begin your day in a quiet bliss unknown to the hustle and bustle of city life.

Of Orchards, Of Trails

Spend your day strolling through our orchards, enjoy a session of fruit-plucking, or embark on a guided walk through the forest to learn more about local flora. If you feel like you're ready to explore more, there are ancient temples, quaint villages, old churches, and viewpoints that are absolutely worth a visit.

Evenings Together

At the end of the day, under a starry sky, gather around the bonfire as your host, Mr. Prakash Thakur, shares local legends, myths, interesting folk tales, and fascinating stories about the rich culture and heritage of Thanedar.
