Our Story

Our Story

Chhahari was born from a simple idea to create a place that feels like it has always belonged to its surroundings.
What once stood here was a humble village home, rooted in the rhythms of hillside life, shaded by old trees and shaped by the land itself. Rather than replacing what existed, we chose to listen to it.

Our Journey

The lodge grew slowly and thoughtfully, built around original boulders, mature trees, and the natural contours of the hillside. Traditional materials, local craftsmanship, and village-inspired architecture guided every decision.

What emerged was not a resort imposed on nature, but a retreat that feels like a natural extension of it. Today, Chhahari carries forward this philosophy offering guests a stay that is unhurried, grounded, and deeply connected to place, where heritage and nature quietly shape every experience.
Every stay is an invitation to slow down and become part of Chhahari’s ongoing story.

Farm Overview

At the heart of Chhahari lies a working farm that nurtures both the land and the lodge. Seasonal vegetables, herbs, and local produce are grown with care, following natural cycles rather than commercial timelines. The farm is an essential part of daily life here, influencing what is served at the table and how guests engage with their surroundings.

More than a source of food, the farm reflects our belief in self-sufficiency, sustainability, and mindful living. Guests are invited to observe, participate, or simply enjoy the calm presence of cultivated land woven seamlessly into the retreat.

Locations & Surroundings
Nestled beside the forests of Shivapuri, Chhahari sits quietly on a hillside where nature sets the pace of life.
Surrounded by old trees, forest trails, and expansive open skies, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion while remaining close to the city.

Birdsong replaces traffic noise, mist rolls gently across the hills in the mornings, and the changing light transforms the landscape throughout the day. Whether walking through nearby trails, resting under the shade of ancient trees, or simply taking in the stillness, the surroundings invite guests to slow down and reconnect.
