Stayed here for a couple of nights using it as a base for trekking in the area. Was impressed with the facilities, service, food... Choosing the right place to stay... read more in Manali can be a quite a task, but the unique castle made it really easy for me. Photographs of the resort do not do it justice. Their garden was especially beautiful with numerous flowers and trees laden with apples. The Himalayan is easily the best address in Manali.

  We stayed in this gorgeous property for three days and had one of the best hotel experiences in India. Not only does it have a picturesque setting but it's staff... read more is extremely courteous. The best part is that there is no buffet breakfast and we for our complimentary breakfast could order anything of our choice. This ensures the food was fresh and has minimum wastage. The pool looked refreshing and the water was too cold... We stepped in only for some time. I highly recommend this property.

Suggestion: please consider a heated pool!

Outstanding food - a big thumbs up to the chef and his team.

  It was our first visit at The Himalayan and we were spellbound by the beauty of the property. The view from our cottage was breathtaking, the cottages are cosy, staff... read more is courteous and the food is delicious.
Would love to visit again!!

  We had an absolutely amazing time at The Himalayan, great cottages, very courteous and helpful staff, beautiful views, soothing music, delicious food.. apt location... can't wait to go again. Gothic... read more at it's best.

  Dont know from where to start.. the property was the only reason why I booked my Manali Visit in the first place. Believe it or it, the property is more... read more amazing than what it looks in pics. The staff was courteous and all amenities were in place. We got one of the best rooms available on the first floor with a huge balcony. Kids had lots of fun and a safe place too. Just one word of improvement.. the wooden flooring needs to be changed as it creaks a lot.
And for everything - thanks Vivek Thakur.. looking forward to come again.

  I visited this property with my parents who are senior citizens. We booked individual rooms but since you have to walk a lot to reach the rooms upstairs, the front... read more desk was generous enough to offer us cottage downstairs. The cottage, restaurant and the hotel overall has a gothic look to it which can be a love or hate affair for some. I liked it though. There is no buffet breakfast here and everything is a-la-carte here. They provide you meal credits which can be adjusted against your a-la-carte orders. Frankly I found the vegetarian food quality to be quite below par and there is a lot of scope for improvement. The property is very picturesque and you will surely click some of the best photographs of ur trip here. Overall our experience was very good. Period. More

  The location of the Himalayan is just right with stunning views of the valley and the mountains. What sets it apart though is the architecture. We assumed that the property... read more was resurrected from a old construction due to it's rustic look but we we're pleasantly surprised to know that the property was just over 5 years old! It's been very tough fully constructed and everything on the property is thematically consistent.

The food is good too but I only wish they had more local fare in their menu. The gas geysers were a bit quirky to use in the bath but the management assured us that they're going to get replaced this season. Overall, it's a bit on the pricey side but it's money very well spent. More

  It's an understatement to call this English style castle hotel beautiful. It's everything you want when you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. The architecture will transport you... read more to a different era. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They will go out of there way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The food is excellent, prepared with care and caters to every taste. Indian , continental, Chinese everything is great and their Tiramisu is to die for. Met the owners and some of their family. Really warm and talented people. They themselves designed the entire property and were kind enough to give us a complete tour. They also have a herb and vegetable garden and use the produce in their cooking. All the rooms are big and tastefully done. Ample space for the kids to play and also have a pool. The weather here is always perfect and the view from the rooms and pool side are the most picturesque in the whole of Manali. This property is perfect for families, friends, couples and even honeymooners ( yes even honeymooners , they have everything here and you will love relaxing in the luxury and comfort of the room and pool area without having the need to step out of the hotel even once) This property is also frequently visited by people from the music and film fraternity, and why not this place is just that...

  Manali was not too hot on my list of a holiday destination because it gets too over crowded during may and June and we love to associate the mountains with... read more peace and quiet - however a friend sent me an image of the hotel and when my kids saw it they were so excited that we were off to Scotland - no other way to describe how beautiful this hotel is - the exteriors and interiors are done up so well with attention to detail. We ended up meeting the owner Mr Nishat and his passion shows in all aspects of the hotel. Now once the decision to go to The Himalayan was taken by my kids I had to plan an itinerary different from the run off the mill stuff one does in Manali so I called the hotel and the manager Mr Vivek was super helpful - he ended up planning my entire trip for me - told us go to tirthan valley before Manali and in Manali he sent us to some super exotic locations for treks and picnics. I owe a lot of gratitude to Vivek for making sure that we had a super time in Manali. My suggestion to the guests who go there - please do take his inputs in what to do in and around Manali - he makes sure he matches the guests to their needs. The staff too is ever smiling...

Nishat has much more planned for this gorgeous property- looking forward to another trip there

  Went to Manali and Stayed at The Himalayan....for 3 nights.Where to start from.....everything was just superawesome.The minutest detail was taken care of.The hotel in situated in such a beautiful place... read more that you are greeted by the snow clad mountains every morning.My room was chamber 1 and I believe had the best view.Not only should I give full marks to the location but also each and every member of the hotel.Everyone was always with a smile and ready to assist you in every situation. The General Manager was a brilliant gentle man with a million dollar smile.
I was lucky to be introduced to the vibrant owner who took out his valuable time to show us the beautiful kitchen garden and the board room. They even arranged for a room fire on request as it rained and was cold. The owner Mr. Nishat is a super brilliant artist and architech with many more innovative ideas to be added on to
this mesmerizing property.Looking forward to go back soon.The food was really a plus point. More

  We had a great experience at the Himalayan where we spent some of our honeymoon. We stayed in one of the cottages which had a balcony and amazing view of... read more Manali and the surrounding mountains. Even though the rooms have many windows the way the resort was laid out maximized privacy. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even baked us a cake for my wife's birthday! Both New and Old Manali are easily accessible by auto and if you are adventurous you can walk down the gullies all the the way into the city.

Its also very close to the Mall Road, price wise it is a little on the higher side but totally worth the money spent. Manali's weather and the stay at the Himalayan made our trip absolutely memorable.
