Himalayan Hotel

there can only be one reason that the Himalayan Hotel is called what it is. That the peaks of the most majestic mountains in world can be glimpsed from here is a given, and far too prosaic a reason. The more apt rationale is that, for over a cenutry, it has been the resting place of all the greats Who scaled the Himalayan peaks, from lrving and mallory to Hillary and Norgay. Designed to look a colonial forest lodge, the hotel comes with solid walls, sloping green roofs, lovely wooden and Cane furniture, a running verandah with panoramic views and green lawns to catch the sun. Step out to visit beautiful monasteries that nestle on hill slpes that lie hidden amongst the wooded hills, as well as the predominance of Raj-era architecture all over town.
