Renuka Lake - Sirmour, Himachal: Starting Rs.2999 for 2N/3D Couple Stay amidst Rivers & Mountains at Writershill Resort! Just 6hrs Serene Drive from Delhi on NH1!

Snow lined slopes in the distance, gushing rivers, steep waterfalls, rich flora and fauna are just few of the gifts that Himachal Pradesh has to offer. 

Secluded deep in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh is one of the state's best kept secrets... Writershill. If the name gives you a picture of green mountains, deep valleys and leaves dancing with the breeze, then you’re absolutely right.

Writershill is an hour’s drive from Nahan and 20km from Renuka Lake. The area offers auto touring, biking, cultural and historic sites, camping, hiking and wildlife. You can catch glimpses of village life where land, tradition and a slower pace are venerated even today.

The property has quiet, creative spaces that are perfect for getting away from the mayhem of the metropolitans. You can either remain cocooned in the self-contained cottages with a backdrop of spectacular views or you can explore an area rich in forest trails, river treks, wildlife and ragged mountains. Be inspired to compose music, string together some words or just pick up the paintbrush. For people who demand solitude with convenience, Writershill is the place to be.

The cottages are huge and have a library with a wide range of books and DVDs to indulge your intellectual side.

Cottages:

• Luxury Tent: Perched on a grassy terrace, this cozy tent overlooks some beautiful views. You might even find a sheep grazing right outside your window.
• Luxury Cottage: These cottages are spacious yet homely, providing you with amazing views of the surrounding landscape.
• Honeymoon Cottage: Tucked away in a peaceful curve, this cottage helps you suspend reality and imagine yourself in a remote part of the world.
• Super Luxury Cottage: These cottages are complete with all the luxuries and comforts needed for a memorable stay. The windows open out onto breathtaking views of green mountains and an infinite blue sky.

Wake up to watch the rising sun as you sit under a canopy of tall trees, enjoying a hearty breakfast. Spend your day taking in the beauty that surrounds you or visit some of the popular tourist sites in the region:

Renuka Lake: It’s one of the most religious places in Himachal Pradesh. Apart from the temples, the lake is the biggest attraction. Packed with fish that swim to the shores to eat wheat dough thrown in by the visitors, the lake is also a wonderful place for boating. Pick up a boat and pedal away a couple of hours, relaxed by the greenery around.

Badholia Temple Waterfall: Just 1km away from Writershill, this waterfall forms the backdrop for the local temple. The roar of the gushing water can be heard for miles around.

The Jalal River Bed: Another 5km ahead of the waterfall, across the bridge, a path goes down to the river bed strewn with big and small rocks. In and around these rocks, flows the Jalal river.

Renuka Zoo: Built around the lake, the best way to explore the zoo/national park is to take a 3km walk. You will walk with the lake on one side and the animals on the other. Deer, bears, leopards, lions and lionesses are just some of the many animals you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of.

As the night falls, enjoy a scrumptious dinner under the starry sky.

Enjoy little luxuries in the lap of nature. Retreat into a silent secluded corner and find yourself feeling refreshed and renewed after just a day.

writers hill is a place I love visiting again and again and there are many reasons to it. One is the pristine environs that coupled with the super luxurious accomodation takes your breath away…Second is the hospitable staff…And finally the fact that you can do a lot of stuff while you are there
