Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort

About

Perched 8,000 feet above sea level in the Himalayas, Wildflower Hall creates a fairy-tale experience in the clouds. This former residence of Lord Kitchener, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, exudes the charm of a grand colonial estate. Surrounded by 22 acres of virgin cedar and pine forests, it offers panoramic views of the snow-capped Pir Panjal range. The resort is famous for its open-air infinity whirlpool, where guests can soak in warm water while gazing at the freezing Himalayan peaks—a bucket-list experience for many. The interiors feature Burmese teak paneling, fireplaces, and oriental rugs, creating a cozy, warm atmosphere. Activities include nature walks, yoga in the forest, and picnicking at "The Peak," a colonial bungalow nearby. The Oberoi Spa here uses plant-based ingredients for treatments that rejuvenate the body and mind. For those seeking solitude, luxury, and mountain air, Wildflower Hall is the ultimate sanctuary.
