Kohinoor Heritage Resort

Excellent escape from the hot temperatures in Delhi! Relaxed holidays with friends, fresh air, nature, good food and warm guidance by the Khaista family to the hidden culture and nature gems of the valley.

The worst hospitality I’ve witnessed firsthand. The owner/manager goes by the name Appu doesn’t know where to draw the line in argument with his guests. Impolite, rude, non-cooperative. I have never felt this disrespected & dissatisfied with a hotel in my entire life. worst money I ever spent.

Why did we choose Kohinoor Heritage Resort in Naggar? There are a bunch of reasons. Location Kohinoor is located at a street corner and we could see the board from afar. It is a few metres from the gorgeous Naggar Castle and a stone's throw from the ancient Tripura Sundari Temple. If we went left from Kohinoor, we reached the cool café cum art zone of Naggar. If we took the right, we walked through apple orchards into lush natural beauty. The place was peaceful and quiet. Yet, there was never a dull moment! In fact, given the strategic location, the Roerich Museum has installed a carved piece of art by the renowned Russian sculptor George Protosky at the threshold of Kohinoor Resort. Room The rooms are spacious and inundated with sunlight. Solid wood furniture creates an understated yet peaceful look. Geyser, water kettle, tea corner – the room has all items needed for comfort. Television sets have been shunned by way of principle. But then, when our balcony overlooked the grand Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas, who needed a TV? Workation We were travelling on a weekend ***** with 2 weekdays. Therefore we were going back to our laptops off and on and working intermittently, late nights and early mornings. Kohinoor Resort is a great spot for a workation since they have robust WIFI internet that has been in excellent form. Moreover, their backyard overlooking the mountains is a great spot to sit and work out in the open. This was a rare treat for us city-birds who needed a breather from the concrete. Breakfast table with a view Breakfast like a king they say. We were living that saying at Kohinoor where an elaborate breakfast spread was served at the idyllic backyard opening up to the gorgeous Himalayas. There were sandwiches, omelettes, boiled eggs, Himalayan jam and bread and our very own poha, paratha, daliya upma, fresh juices and fruits from their orchard. We were big fans of their fresh apple juice with a hint of mint leaves, every ingredient from their garden. Thinking of that we burp in delight! Food Coming to the rest of the food, we would say what they served is a home-style affair. All the vegetables they cooked - capsicum, huge pumpkins, bitter gourd, cucumber, were grown in their kitchen garden using strictly organic methods. We walked through the kitchen garden and were surprised to see a zucchini the size of a gourd! That is not all. Kohinoor resort maintains a cowshed with 3 or 4 healthy cattle. The raita that we had there was made with curd that was set from their in-house cow milk. The curd was light and mildly sour. It could not get healthier or tastier than this! We were having an array of Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes that were laid in their dining hall. One evening we had freshly procured trout for dinner. Trout farming is common in Himachal Pradesh. The chef had simply infused magic in the grilled trout dish that was served with French fries. If that did not get you drooling, you must try Siddu here.

Very clean and well maintained property, have a meditation hall also, you can find perfect solitude away from crowd. The view is messmerising, Wifi is super. And hosts is local family, nicest people you'll find in naggar.

The property is your getaway from the hustle bustle of the cities as well as tourist hot spots in Himalayas.The location and view is only 50% of experience and rest is all about the hospitality of the place.The owner excels in providing the best experience.Was amazed by the service provided and accommodations done.Everyone there was helping and humble.A rare sight to see in such big hotels.Definitely would be coming here for a long time in future.
