Himalayan stays

Ten Himalayan Stays for Recovery, Each Near an Airport

Mapumziko ya spa, hoteli za kihistoria na hoteli tulivu za mapumziko katika Himalaya zinazofikika kwa urahisi kutoka viwanja vya ndege vya Chandigarh, Shimla, Kullu, Dharamshala au Dehradun — zilizochaguliwa kwa starehe, utulivu na huduma.

Clean air, deodar forests and silence do a great deal for a tired body. These ten stays are among the most highly regarded in the Indian Himalayas, and each is within reach of an airport — so a week of rest can follow treatment without a punishing journey.

Your doctor decides first. Recovery stays are arranged only with your treating doctor's approval. Altitude, winding roads and cold weather all matter — places above about 2,500 m are not advised soon after heart, lung or major surgery. Check each property's current reviews with the live links; we have no commercial ties with any hotel named here.

Prefer a Family Home to a Hotel?

Many of our favourite places are not hotels at all, but homestays run by Himalayan families — warm rooms, home-cooked food and hosts who become friends. Read hidden valleys of Himachal, and how our Pay If You Can programme helps those families build safe homestays.

For traditional healing alongside your recovery, see Ayurveda, yoga and meditation alongside modern medicine and our retreats.
