Even a two day stay at this heartwarming boutique hotel, I found rejuvenates the soul parched as it is of all romance and respite under the scorching summer sun.  Standing atop a hill with a serene view of the Himalayan ranges, 1 Partridge Hill offers a opulent stay in every sense of the word – the interiors are quietly luxe, the lush serene outdoors spoils you, the food woos your palate with a rich variety of flavours and the birdsong in the surrounding jungle is a customised rendition sung differently all through the day and even the night!

One Partridge Hill offers you a choice of four elegantly designed rooms with chic floral wallpapers, vintage bedside lamps and timeless wooden furniture with carvings. Interiors featuring fine furnishing, stone fireplace, dark wooden floors and wallpaper reflecting hues, have been hand picked and curated for one-of-a-kind experience amidst wondrous nature. The large wooden doors and windows ensure the brightness with natural light while the large spick-and-span bathrooms offer a sense of space and well being   guest.

Tranquility sets the tone for sit outs at the boutique resort as you absorb the picturesque beauty and the exotic colourful  blooms all around  add a touch of  joy to the ambience. Whether you prefer to indulge in the comfort and range of amenities available at the holiday stay or you choose to revel in wilderness walks, treks and various other activities in this region (I did both) this is a respite from the routine that lotus eaters like me are sure to crave for again and again!
