Eagles Nest Dharamshala has emerged as a distinctive mountain retreat, offering travellers an immersive experience in the serene Himalayan foothills. Located in Upper Dharamkot near McLeodGanj, the property is spread across two square kilometres of cedar, oak and rhododendron forests, standing at an elevation of 7,381 feet and overlooking the Kangra Valley and the revered temple of the Dalai Lama.

With the snow-clad Dhauladhar mountain range forming a dramatic backdrop, Eagles Nest offers uninterrupted views from its gardens and living spaces. Designed for travellers seeking calm, connection and nature-led experiences, the retreat serves as an ideal base for centre-based trekking, forest trail walks, bird-watching, horse riding and exploring local attractions. It also caters to guests interested in yoga, meditation, spiritual learning and quiet retreats.

The 17-room property reflects warm wooden charm with earthy colour palettes and a minimalistic design approach. Large glass panes allow natural light to flow in while opening the rooms to the surrounding landscapes. A welcoming atrium lobby with a double-height skylight and thoughtfully curated interiors enhances the sense of openness and comfort.

Rooms ranging from 320 square feet and suites extending beyond 400 square feet are designed for relaxed living. Each room is equipped with comfortable bedding options, electric blankets, writing desks, tea and coffee makers, heating radiators and modern amenities. Private sit-outs or balconies provide an intimate space to enjoy clear views of the snow-covered mountain range.

Common spaces at Eagles Nest encourage interaction and reflection. The ‘Den’, a fireplace lounge with a wall of books, and ‘Bonhomie’, a private dining hall, offer inviting settings for conversations and shared experiences. The property’s kitchen, supported by a skilled culinary team, serves Himachali specialities alongside select Indian and global dishes, using fresh and locally sourced ingredients.

The outdoor spaces include landscaped lawns, walking trails, colourful flower beds and a greenhouse dedicated to organic cultivation. Sustainability remains central to the retreat, with its own spring water source, rainwater harvesting systems and a strong focus on local produce.

Wellness is deeply woven into the Eagles Nest experience. Guests can practice yoga at ‘The Deck’, enjoy bonfire evenings under the stars, sip tea at ‘The Point’ with valley views, or find solitude in the dedicated Meditation Zone. The retreat also features ‘Balance’, a yoga room accommodating up to eighteen participants, and ‘Elevate’, a spa with a sauna room designed for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Adventure and leisure blend seamlessly with ‘The Barn’, which houses horses for guided forest trail rides, and trained local staff who curate personalised trekking experiences. Additional indoor spaces offer opportunities for reading, games, casual meetings and quiet relaxation.

Managed by Aashvim Hospitality Services under its BookMark Hotels portfolio, Eagles Nest Dharamshala positions itself as a refined yet soulful destination where guests are invited to breathe deeply, behold nature’s beauty and truly belong.
