Gaggal Airport/Kangra airport: One of the prettiest airports I have ever seen. The airport has a beautiful Dhauladhar range as a picturesque backdrop. The hotel was a mere 30 minutes’ drive away. Around 14km from the Divine Hima. Good roads with the snow-capped peaks accompanying you
We booked the Pin Parvati pass suite at the Divine Hima.
The first day when we reached, it was already afternoon and we were tired after the super early morning.
A cute pair of boots overgrowing with greens greet you, together with auspicious imprints of Goddess Laxmi’s feet leading you into a quaint entryway.
A cool indoor stream with a variety of fishes swimming greets you inside. The photographs clicked by the owner, his poetry makes you sit and think.
The early evening saw us watching mesmerized the Dhauladhar range, which is a part of the lesser Himalayas. The setting sun shining off the top, birds chirping and the crisp cold air made us happy. Sitting and sipping fragrant tea was how we spent our first evening at Dharamshala the tasty fish Amritsari and a quick dinner in the room, then an early bedtime was what happened the first night. December means cold nights and the room heater was much welcome.
The next morning, we went down for breakfast which was included with our plan. It was a set menu but the staff went out of the way to help us with food for my daughter just the way she liked it. Plus we met Mr. Sanjay Kumbhakar the owner. An ex Geologist and a creative artist his personality is reflected every nook and cranky of the boutique hotel.
Quick Hotel review The Divine Hima Dharamshala
The Divine Hima gives you all the home comforts with a five-star service. Beautiful rooms, great service, delicious food, and perfect location. The owner Mr.Sanjay Kumbkarni has a fascinating collection of photographs and unique decor items gracing the hotel. His personal advice helped plan our sightseeing to a TThe staff are helpful and courteous. Sanjeev amongst the wait staff was very accommodating and ensured my child got her favorite breakfast item.
The car service by the hotel was extraordinarily pleasant and Mr.Sanju was there with us for three days of day trips in comfort. The hotel has a wide range in its menu and the veg thali (Kangra dhaam) is especially recommended. Loved the sizzling brownie too. The view from the Pin Parvati pass family suite is beautiful and the bird watching from the balcony is an added boon. The hotel is a five minutes walk from Norbulingka institute. Great stay celebrating the end of a decade traveling together.
We spent three days roaming in and around Dharamshala. Stay tuned as I share videos, photos, memories food, the culture of this beautiful mountain destination.
