Each season here has its own charm.
May–June is the perfect time to slip away from the heat of the big cities and breathe in the cool mountain air.
July–August brings the monsoon, refreshing the valley and bringing a welcome drop in temperature.
September turns everything lush and vibrant – flowers bloom, apples fill the orchards, the hills glow green, and the days stay comfortably warm.
October–November is when the outdoors truly come alive. Think sunny, gentle days and cool, cozy nights made for long walks and slow dinners.
December–January brings golden sunshine in the day, crisp evenings by the fire, and the magic of the festive season in the air.
February–March brings snowfall and a deep mountain stillness, with winter menus and hearth-side moments.
April is a joyful month of celebrations, including Sitara’s anniversary with cultural touches and local traditions woven in.
From 1st February, the property closes for approximately one month due to heavy snowfall in the region. May we request you to kindly let us know if your dates are flexible? Please feel free to reach us at +91 93110 40686 or reservations@sitarahimalaya.com.

We have 10 beautifully crafted rooms, each with its own colour story and unique view, yet all share the same sense of warmth and comfort.
Your stay is designed to be effortlessly all-inclusive. All meals, all drinks, and all curated experiences are already included. Spa treatments and boutique purchases are available at an additional cost, should you choose them. Other than that, there are no bills to think about, just time and space for you to truly unwind.
Sitara Himalaya is not designed to host young children. The retreat has steep levels, quiet zones, fireplaces, and many areas that aren’t child-safe. For this reason and to maintain the calm and energy of the space, we welcome guests aged 12 and above. Pets aren’t allowed either, as we try to keep the environment peaceful, still and comfortable for everyone.
Our kitchen team prepares thoughtful, set menus every day inspired by the flavours and traditions of the Himalayas. Everything is made with fresh, local ingredients, plated beautifully, and served with a lot of love. It’s wholesome, comforting and deeply nourishing.
Should you require something apart from the set menu, our chef would be happy to accommodate your preferences wherever possible.
You can explore guided Himalayan treks, which we adjust to your comfort, visit spiritually significant spots, or experience yoga, meditation and sound therapy in nature. The team can also set up picnics in hidden corners of the mountains – small moments that make the stay unforgettable.
Our Svasthi area is a quiet, soothing space created for mindful movement, healing and rest. The signature Mangalam journeys, two-hour rituals, draw from the Vedic elements – Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Space – blending sound healing, meditation, breathwork and body treatments. They feel grounding, spacious and very transformative.
