Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Oberoi Wildflower Hall £££££

Oberoi Wildflower Hall offers a tranquil sanctuary in the mountains. The site of the former residence of Lord Kitchener, Wildflower Hall near Shimla offers its guests the grand style of the colonial era with retreat-like bedrooms with teak wood floors, hand-knotted rugs and rich furnishings complemented by spectacular views.

Located in its own private estate, the lodge is surrounded by virgin pine, oak and rhododendron trees and terraced fields laden with seasonal fruits.
