Welcome to the innate world of Prakriti Aalay – Most sought after ecological destination for true experiences …offering …holistic holidays while synergizing with the spirit of nature, craft of the locals, authenticity of food and the culture of the land. Prakriti Aalay offers you a liberating experience like no other in the entire Dharamshala. Motivated by the traditional rich Kangra style of architect, this picturesque boutique eco resort of sweeping panoramic vistas is bordered on one side by the perennial Manooni rivulet, flowing straight down from the nearby Himalayan glaciers, on the other side it is surrounded by Pine forests while entire snow clad range of Dhauladhars in the backdrop to enjoy nature from every window and every corner of Prakriti Aalay. Prakriti Aalay is located around ten km from the Dharmshala airport, and even closer to the main market, bus stand, zonal hospital, central university, monasteries, golf course, tea gardens and the international cricket stadium. There are no commercial or residential structures in the near adjoining, which means that the guests get a clear view and desired privacy at all the times. Prakriti Aalay has everything that a discerning traveler expects, be it spectacular views, incredible activities, bare luxury of rooms and suites, fine dining or just meditating at river front yoga hall, there are surprises for everyone. A serene hike in its adjoining forest, to shaking a leg in glacier fresh white water, to adventure sports of paragliding, to exotic forest, to angling, to unorthodox conference/open dining settings, to enthralling cycling routes, to fascinating treks and proximity to key attractions …the site is still very private in its location through controlled private access road and its own picturesque foot bridge over the rivulet Manooni to reach this natures’ heaven. Unique to its natural abundance and with true eco construction, the site forms a perfect backdrop to enjoy the nature – a philosophy on which Prakriti Aalay is being built. The picturesque town of Dharamshala is gifted with endless beautiful locations with each one having its own charm and story to tell, but the Spirit of Nature Stays at Prakriti Aalay away from the pollution, concrete and chaos.

We stayed in Prakriti Aalay for 2N in 1st week of Jan 2023 which was a perfect start for the new year. Prakriti Aalay Resort has awesome picturesque view and serene ambience. Rooms are spacious and luxurious. Food was very tasty. Play area & Library was nice but pls add more books for children. (Age 8 to 10 years). Jungle trail trek, Bridge walk and river flowing through is the USP of the resort.Bonfire was a fun experience. Entire resort staff is very helpful and caring. Special Thanks to Mr. Sonu, Praveen and Avinash for making our stay comfortable. Few suggestions from my side would be in the jungle trail trek put fencing at the top of the hill for better safety and additonally have bathroom facilities in the parking area for drivers. Thank you team Prakriti Aalay for making my trip memorable and for lovely memories to cherish forever. Thank You, AJ…

Had a surreal experience during my 3-day stay at the property. The beautiful view from the rooms and the scenery are blissful in the early morning. Nights are equally peaceful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend it if you wish to spend your trip away from the hectic city life.

Starting of with the location, if you’re a person who likes to stay away from the city chaos and overrated mall roads, this is the right place for you. It was serene and truly mesmerising. The property is also very beautiful having a different touch in itself. The rooms were spacious and clean with all the basic amenities being provided on time. Coming to the staff, everyone was polite and active. Staying there was one of the stay I experienced in recent times. I was there for 3 days but would have loved to extend it for much longer… Thanks Dhruv Bhatia

My husband and I visited Prakrit Alaya recently and it became a “one of a kind” stay for us. A stay which we will cherish forever. Prakrit Alaya in Dharmsala is tucked in the valley right near a river stream which is the USP of this property. The sound of river flowing throughout the night ensures a sound sleep and a couple of singing birds will leave you amused as you wake up. While it’s pretty close to the main road, this property promises quietness. Such quietness can be only experienced and not expressed. Everything about this place is positive - the ambience, the location, the quietness, the forest behind the property, the river flowing, birds chirping and not to forget, the STAFF who offer genuine service. You will be greeted by the ever smiling staff at all times. The rooms are spacious and we fell in love with the choice of furniture. Right from the booking process till the end of the stay everything was smooth. We met the owner of the property, Mr. Kishore Thakur, who was welcoming and made it a point to interact with all the guests to make them comfortable. We couldn’t stop ourselves from booking one more night on our way out of Dharmsala. “Not to miss property”.…

After having stayed at Camp Lungta and experiencing high standards of hospitality, f&b services, expectations had gone up for Prakriti Alay :-) Couldn't stay for long but thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Wonderful hike in the vicinity just added to the entire experience... Again, beautiful location, courteous services, delectable cuisine... Beyond expectations

We arrived in the afternoon at 1 pm. There was no one at the reception. The climb down was very steep, they had written to me that any adult could easily do it, this is not true at all. anyone with a city background will find it difficult to go up and down. and one of our group had a backache and could not go down. The manager one mr kishor thakur was contacted on the phone , When asked what they would do if there was a medical emergency , he said they would call fro a stretcher from the hospital. When we said we would pay for it, he said it would take a. lot of time. So i guess, if someone suffers an emergency there, they are doomed. mr thakur kept saying that we would get charged fully. He was least hospitable and was not even found on the premises. He was rude and said he would give me the phone number of the deputy director of HP tourism and i could complain. Of course he has not bothered to do this. The place is pathetic. go there at your own risk. There are very hospitable and fantastic places in dharamshala like Udechee huts. Avoid Prakriti by all means.…

Dear Rajan...would like to emphasize to all our guests that this review is still here despite NONE OF YOU STAYED at our Property and nor witnessed our overall experience. Now coming to your specific points.... ...1) We have very clearly shared the ''Approach Advise'' to you - despite you made this non refundable booking. At arrival one of your group member decided not to climb down ( PL NOTE THAT IT WAS NOT BECAUSE THAT SHE WAS NOT FIT TO COME BUT SHE DID NOT WANT TO COME BECAUSE OF HER OWN ANXIETY ISSUES). 2) We sent you two boy staff for luggage and two females on stand by to accompany the said member but you insisted on arranging a medical stretcher or a Doli ( which we very politely said no - that this is not an medical emergency and we don't arrange it otherwise but only the hospital/ambulance staff does this in case of real emergency ) and we also said that even we do it once, it wont be practical and feasible to do it every time, forget the cost. But despite all our requests and explaining you were not ready to listen about it but just adamant to bring Doli or Stretcher ..which we refused politely. 3) PL NOTE THAT IF THERE IS A REAL MEDICAL EMERGENCY , THESE ARRANGEMENTS ARE DONE AND NO ONE IS DOOMED AND THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN ... EXCEPET THE WAY YOU HAVE PROJECTED BECAUSE THIS WAS NON REFUNDABLE PRE BOOKING DONE THROUGH SOME PORTALS AND THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO TO IT AND YOU WRE PRE- CHARGED. We explained that to you ...but it was of no use at all. 4) All phone numbers and all appellate authorities email and number are very much available online. We suggested you that you can take up the matter with the local highest authority ( the deputy director ), if you wish so, as we have not done anything misleading or mis-information or misguiding or any misconduct to you or your group. 5) We do not need to say what our place is , this is reflected in the love of our guests who stay with us. Every person who walks a bit, does not have any medical issue or not severely obese or with any recent knee/hip surgery should take full precaution, rest all have been coming and enjoying to our place despite of age. I personally spoke to you and your your group member who came to reception on intecom, explained about the non availability of stretcher/doli, instead utilising female staff, and all other possible things but like i said earlier, it was of no use. I would urge you to visit again, with all the Three members ( where you claimed in our discussion that you all are seasonal trekkers and this approach of Prakriti is no issue at all to you three, except the anxious fourth ) and enjoy our place, hospitality, food to know more about us and then rate/review us ....will really appreciate that candid response. Looking forward to welcome you. Regards/KT
