Nestled amidst the breathtaking grandeur of the Himalayas, Sitara Himalaya offers a private sanctuary of luxury, wellness and spirituality with just ten elegant guestrooms. It is a Relais & Châteaux property. Sitara Himalaya is an extension to the private home of Anita Lal, founder of the iconic lifestyle brand Good Earth.

Mrs Lal has personally curated every aspect of the retreat, reflecting her taste and showcasing the best of Indian design and culture. It is an intimate residence where the world of joyous luxury merges with the spiritual world of wellness. A place to find harmony, balance and connection to nature.

Sitara Himalaya is guided by the Vedic concept that we are at one with the cosmos. This ancient wisdom, which reminds us that everything in the universe is connected and the same, is summarized in the Vedas as Tat Tvam Asi – You Are That.

The culinary highlights at the sanctuary feature Tandoors and Chargrills of the Khyber, delicacies of Wazvan from Jammu and Kashmir, Noodle Thupkas and Momos of Ladakh, the revered Dham Thali of Himachal and fusion Anglo-Indian dishes created in the hill stations and dak bungalows across the Himalayas. Cooking techniques involve age-old methods of slow cooking in clay pots, an underground pit, open fires, smoking, pickling and fermenting. Dishes may feature local trout, goat or rare delicious morel mushrooms foraged from around the area.​
