About The Wilderness

The Wilderness, Narkanda is a highly rated 4-star boutique eco-resort and family-run farm stay nestled at an elevation of 8,500 feet in the serene Shimla Hills of Himachal Pradesh. Designed like a cozy European chalet, this three-acre sanctuary sits directly adjacent to the pristine Tanni Jubbar Lake, offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. The entire estate is tucked away within lush, active apple and cherry orchards and is closely bordered by a dense forest of towering cedar and deodar trees, making it a perfect retreat for travelers seeking untouched quietude. Guests are hosted with warm, personalized hospitality by the owners, Rajesh Thakur and his daughter Zoya, who provide fresh, home-cooked Pahari and multi-cuisine meals made from local ingredients. The resort features 12 spacious rooms and suites equipped with massive glass viewing windows, bed warmers, and room heaters to comfortably handle the high-altitude chill. Complete with an open green lawn, an evening bonfire and barbecue area, a well-stocked library, and a pet-friendly policy with two friendly resident dogs, it delivers a deeply relaxing, experiential stay that beautifully connects visitors to local Himachali culture.
