    Amazing location between a forest and a river Low-key, close to nature and a chilled out vibe Parveen always there to help with anything and very nice. Food really really tasty and effort made to provide best options for you. If you want to submerge in nature and feel what it's like to live in a proper building made from natural materials then this is the place 👍

    Nothing

    This eco lodge resort is calm and peaceful, nestled between the babbling river and the forest behind. The birdsong is a joy to wake up to. It’s USP is it’s heritage, built with tradition materials right down to chairs and chest of drawers. For this reason things may seem rickety but this is part of its charm, natural quality and away from it feel. The new lift down from road to lodges may seem incongruous but a necessity for children and elderly. The staff were more than helpful and the food yummy.

    An exceptional resort with perhaps one of the most stunning views. The resort offers comfortable rooms, excellent food and a very courteous staff. The brilliance of this place lies in the numerous quiet corners you can find near the forest or the stream to sit and chat or read a book or simply gaze at the magnificent Himalayas. From being woken up by sound of birds to reading a book by the riverside and then being served amazing food, this stay was far beyond excellent.

    The food prices were exorbitant! The rooms were underwhelming and the towels were not Upto the mark. Lots of improvements can be made in ambience. Nothing much to do in the property.

    Location was good. There was a river flowing next to the property. 15 mins away from the airport was a plus.

    The food is amazing, though there are limited options for healthy choices.

    The resort is truly magnificent, nestled amidst snowcapped mountains with a river flowing alongside and surrounded by forest trees. The constant sound of the flowing river and the chirping of birds is pure bliss. Mornings are particularly stunning. This is a must-visit destination, and a stay of at least three days is essential to fully appreciate its beauty.

    It’s a beautiful, clean and spacious property in the lap of Manuni River and Dhauladhar Range. We spent 6 days and enjoyed every bit of this property. We were most impressed to see how earth friendly the property was. From stones, to wood to soil to solar every bit used in making this property is sustainable and Eco friendly. Rooms are clean, spacious, well lit with a perfect view to the Flowing river and Snow capped mountain. Entire staff including the managers, housekeeping, chef and the driver are so warm and welcoming. They are always attending to your call and make every effort to make your stay most comfortable. You can just relax in your balcony or read in the terrace or take a dip in the river or go for a small trek on the hilltop connected from within the property. Food is extremely good and always fresh and hygienic just like home cooked food and our favourite was Himachali Kadhi pakoda. I strongly recommend Prakriti Aalay for a beautiful and mesmerising experience close to nature and away from bustling city. Perfect Gateway for rejuvenation and relaxation. Good Job team Prakriti Aalay Best Wishes and Good Luck !

    The location was fantastic with spectacular views of the Himalayan foothills. The eco lodge was beautiful and very peaceful. The staff were very helpful and readily available. The Resort was an easy drive to the centre of Dharmashala and tourist sites. The food was excellent and made fresh. There was a large variety of types of cuisine depending on your taste. I would highly recommend this eco resort.

    The LED lights (strip lights) on the restaurant are a bit too bright at night and the lamps around the property are bright white coloured which negatively affects the ambiance at night, would advise to change those to warm white. Apart from that, the stay was very good and comfortable.

    Overall the service was good and the amenities are also very fun

    The resort is situated on the river bank in a very nice place. You can hear the sounds of the river all the time. The place is remote and quiet, but close to the airport and Dharamsala. Easy to get there from New Delhi. The food at the restaurant was very good quality, really delicious.

    This was my second visit to Prakiti Allay. It's a true slice of heaven in India. I enjoy walking through the surrounding forest, dipping into the rushing river and exploring the village fields. All are accessible right from the property. The front desk is always ready to assist with booking taxis, bringing water and good food. A fabulous eco retreat!

    Food options were average and inconsistent. Dishes seem to be prepared by different chefs each time.

    Location is like a dream come true, very friendly and communicative staff. Unique and aesthetically done rooms & property. Stream running through is a big bonus.
