Thoughtfully designed by Tharbus Designs, this Manali homestay is a manifestation of harmony with the surrounding landscape. Throughout the homestay, one encounters a symphony of natural materials, including rugged stone walls, rich wooden accents, and handcrafted furnishings.

Dipped in a palette of natural colors and enhanced by wooden flooring, the bedrooms ensure restful nights while offering uninterrupted views of the Himalayan landscape through their oversized windows and private balcony.

THE ROOMS
Hushstay x Hunzuru's five bedrooms, consisting of 04 similar rooms and 01 master suite, are each infused with natural materials that merge meticulously with the Himalayan outdoors. The thick mud walls, crafted through an age-old practice of mud-plastering transport you back to a time-honored way of life.
Himalayan motifs grace the rugs, and wooden flooring resonates with the rustic charm of the region. Handmade lamps cast a warm, inviting glow, while large windows and balconies frame breathtaking mountain vistas, allowing the Himalayan sunlight to dapple the interiors. The muted color palette, inspired by the earthy tones of the rich soil and weathered rocks, imbues the space with a soothing presence that grounds you in the natural surroundings.
The master suite stands out with its stone and wood-dominated materials, featuring a four-poster bed thoughtfully positioned to maximize panoramic views. The calming greys of the local stone and the mossy green accents drawn from the surrounding flora create an ambience of pure tranquillity. These rooms offer more than just a place to sleep; they provide an immersive connection to the Himalayan landscape and an experience of living in harmony with nature.
