Hi Mr guleria. Greetings. Thank you so much for appreciating the wilderness. we are sorry for not providing you with the invoice as soon as you were wanting. In the meantime we did provide you with one. We would like to tell you that there would be some genuine issue regarding the same. Anyways we would like to tell you that we like to be unprofessional and not hurry things without being sure of. We here would like to tell you please stay in professional, concrete and commercial properties next time you visit any place and keep us away from any professional activities where invoices are made with out any clarification. And yes you do seem to be a man who likes highway and made up properties. So please excuse places like wilderness and stick to commercial properties. Please note. sorry from wilderness for not being a professional and commercial property which we will never ever want to be. Please make up your mind set and come to places like wilderness or rather go to commercial properties which are enough around. This point has been put forth by wilderness a many times. Thank you and please do not embaress us and yourself for being in places where one does not belong or relate oneself in any manner.

It’s good place to stay if you want to enjoy nature, nice view from balcony. Ask for ground floor rooms( they have 4 rooms) below restaurant. Can improve heating service in room as it’s not so good. As in winter temperature goes below -2. Service is good but can be improved further by managing professionally. Overall for enjoying nature it’s must visit.

Dear guest. Thank you for visiting the wilderness and enjoying your stay. Wilderness is sure a paradise and has the best location view and room's. The heating in the rooms is by gas heaters which is the best means of heating in areas where light with lots of snow could be an issue and temperature goes below minus 5 degrees. The service we provide is from heart where we will go all out to make our guests warm and comfortable and rather be not at all professional. we do not want to make wilderness a typical yes sir and a commercial hotel.rather as clearly stated in the website a home away from home.we at the wilderness appreciate the guest's to fully involve themselves in all basic activities and affairs and enjoy every bit of the boutique property and it's surrounding and understand the concept of living and enjoying in the place like wilderness. However We appreciate your liking for nature. Please do visit and give us the honour again Thank you.

Narkanda is a small town tucked like a jewel in the Shimla Hills of Himachal Pradesh. At an altitude of 2708 meters, this place transforms into a hustling skiing resort in the winters. Whereas during the summers the surrounding peaks provide mesmerising views of the snow clad Himalayas. The Wilderness is a lovely boutique hotel (i hate calling it a hotel though) with a owners staying in the same compound. The family is very warm and takes care of each guest on a personal basis. They also have a cherry orchid and had packed a box of fresh cherry on the day of our return. The food is very homely and moderately spicy, ideal for kids We had visited during the summers of 2019 and saw the pictures of the hotel during winter. I would love to visit again this place and this time to…

I Visited the Wilderness from 20 th to 23 rd October with a group of friends. The resort is located in one of the best locations in the Himalayas! Such a hidden gem! And I hope it remains so. The Wilderness is built with such passion and sensitivity, one can feel the owner’s love for the place the moment you walk in. The interiors and the small detailing has been kept in mind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with the owner, Rajesh and his daughter Zoya, totally involved in maintaining the property and our holiday spirit! Oh god, the hospitality! Amazing! We went on treks, walks and a well arranged picnic and a bonfire to top it all, the food was great and served hot! gosh, the presence of the beauty in every thing around especially the snow capped mountains! Everything…

Had a one night stay here. Perfect place to relax by enjoying beautiful valley view. Rooms are specious and clean. They provide simple food which has taste of local Himalayan food. Zoya who is cooperative and take good care of guest. Staff of the hotel are local people who are hard working. Breakfast is little slow and serve late around 9am which can be improve. Overall good experience.

Everything about the place was enjoyable, a far cry from the hustle and bustle of neighbouring Shimla. Calm surrounding, pleasant weather, lush cherry and apple orchards around the property and good food - you can’t ask for more. The rooms were fine - not perfect but clean and spacious. Also the hosts were very friendly and helped us with the itinerary. A couple of opportunities to improve: - Make the evenings more enjoyable by organizing some small events for families and kids - The beds in the room can be made a bit more comfortable I would highly recommend the place for families and large groups.
