The space
Taara House: A Serene Retreat in the Himalayas

Perched atop a 6,600-foot hilltop, Taara House is a charming labor of love crafted entirely by a family, blending classic and mid-modern styles.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Himalayas and surrounded by lush pine forests, this idyllic cottage is located just 3 km from Manali city center and a mere 500 meters from the iconic Hadimba Temple.

Design & Architecture
The two-bedroom cottage is constructed with reclaimed and recycled wood, featuring exquisite materials such as Burma Teak, English Oak, and Pine. A standout highlight is the enchanting glasshouse, perfect for stargazing or soaking up the sun. The interiors are thoughtfully designed, with Scandinavian light fixtures, bespoke furniture, and a curated collection of fine art. Traditional Himachali touches, such as a Bukhari (Indian fireplace), add warmth and authenticity to the experience.

The spacious bedrooms are adorned with stylish furnishings, including cozy sofas positioned to capture breathtaking mountain views. Guests can also request access to the top-level garden, which offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape.
