StayVista at Himalayan Retreat

Lovely stay during the winter of 2019. Stayed for two nights in middle of December. Location: Only 2.5 kms from the govt. bus stand on the mall road. The StayVista at Himalayan Retreat is in the gated premise of A. B. Vajpayee Mountaineering Institute. There are very few properties around and the place is exceptionally beautiful. Room: Stayed in the studio apartment. A proper studio apartment with almost all equipments to use. Very, very spacious. The balcony is also very good. Food: Delicious. Cannot say anything more about it. Staying in December: We stayed in mid December. When it had just snowed a night before. It was extremely cold. If you are staying at this StayVista at Himalayan Retreat or pretty much any StayVista at Himalayan Retreat in Manali in December then please consider the below points. These points are specific to this StayVista at Himalayan Retreat and could very well be applicable to others as well. The room gets extremely, extremely cold. Deathly cold. Everything in the room also gets cold. Right from the floor, tables, chairs, utensils, bedsheets, pillows, curtains etc. literally everything gets cold. Heaters are available on rent. That seems to be the standard across most StayVista at Himalayan Retreats in the region. You'll have to rent a heater on a per day basis. Most heaters are electric, standing, single/double rod heaters. They are of no good. It will never, literally never warm the entire room. It can only warm a little 2 ft. space. So if you are travelling in December to Manali, Shimla etc. carry your own portable heater if possible. The geyser worked perfectly. So we had hot water in the wash basin and shower/tap all the time. I had a great stay here despite the cold and everything. I will definitely visit in summers once. Big thank you to Sahil who looked after us and everything.

My stay at Himalayan Retreat by Stay Vista was excellent. The accommodations were cozy and beautifully decorated, blending traditional Himalayan charm with modern comforts. My room had a private balcony where I could sip my morning tea while soaking in the stunning landscape—a perfect way to start each day. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, always ready to offer recommendations for local attractions or assist with any needs. The on-site dining experience was a highlight, featuring delicious local cuisine that truly showcased the flavors of the region. Each meal was a delightful adventure for the taste buds! The location of the retreat is ideal for exploring Manali. Whether you're looking for thrilling outdoor activities or peaceful nature walks, everything is just a stone's throw away. After a day of adventure, it was wonderful to return to such a serene and tranquil setting. Overall, my stay at Himalayan Retreat was nothing short of magical. If you're looking for a perfect getaway that combines relaxation with adventure, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to return!

I have stayed for three days at retreat cottages. It is amazing place to stay. Cottages are good and like home to us. All services related to food and room services were good. Mr Sharma has helped us to get the cab for Rohtang visit. Sahil- service boy has taken care of rest of the things. We have enjoyed our stay over there. It is one of the best place to stay at Manali.

The cottage has been constructed at a beautiful location in a beautiful swiss style. Rooms are well lit and spacious. Every room has a balcony and one can see dense deodar forest straight from the room. The staff was also very helpful. I stayed there with my family. I would recommend this place as it's away from the city noise and yet very close to the main town.

The stay was very comfortable and the property was v beautiful as depicted in the pictures. Only concern is the food here which we have to order 2 hours prior. Everything else was well maintained and helper was very helpful as well with regular cleaning and maintaining the property.

We got the warmest welcome and experience at this stay. It was super cozy and comfortable, felt like home. The staff made everything so easy for us, even with guidance regarding our trip there, the owner came to greet us and made sure our stay there was as comfortable as possible.

The studio apartment was really nice. Felt like home away from home. The location was peaceful and scenic. Wish we could stay for some more time.
