It was an awesome experience in Araiya, Palampur alongwith my wife and kids. The Deluxe suite was very well maintained and needed no extra request in all aspects. The layout of the resort complex is well designed to accommodate group bookings and very safe for family members to enjoy a two nights trip. Especially when it comes to the view from the room, gym, lobby, swimming pool or bar, everything is an experience by itself.
Coming to the restaurant and food quality, I would surely recommend every traveller to enjoy the exquisite and sumptuous and yummy treat by the trained chefs of Araiya, Palampur.
The location is well suited for bikers and family traveller's as it can easily be accessed by road. It is just 6km away from Palampur and well connected to tourist sites of Dharamshala and Bir-Biling.

Overall an awesome couple of nights spent in Araiya, Palampur. Would rate it 10/10 in all aspects.

Thanks and regards
Tathagata Hota

Me and my family had an amazing stay at Hotel Araiya, Palampur! The rooms were really cozy, and the hotel provided an oil heater, which made the chilly mountain nights even more comfortable. The pool was a great touch, with the temperature perfectly maintained, making for a relaxing swim even in cooler weather.

The food was delicious, with a sufficient variety to cater to different tastes. I highly recommend booking the dinner ,The quality and quantity of food are absolutely worth more than that!

The best part of the experience was the staff—exceptionally friendly and polite. No matter where you are in the hotel, they will greet you warmly, making you feel truly welcome.

Overall, Hotel Araiya is a fantastic place to stay in Palampur, offering comfort, great food, and exceptional service. Highly recommended!

Araiya Palampur exceeded all our expectations and provided a truly memorable experience! From the moment we arrived after a harrowing drive from Chandigarh, the warmth and hospitality of seeing the entire team waiting to receive us at midnight, set the tone for an exceptional stay.
Every interaction with the GM Mr Javvaji Acharaya and his team was marked by genuine care and efficiency—they made us feel like the most valued guests at every step.

We had booked an interconnected Deluxe suite with 1 Duplex suite for our trip, as suggested by the hotel. To our absolute delight, it was the perfect choice for our family.

The rooms are elegant and have perfectly appointed amenities that cater to every comfort. Attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the plush bedding to the thoughtful touches that make you feel at home in luxury. Duty Manager Vishal was in touch with us days before our arrival to make sure our rooms were prepared for us as per our requirements. Staff memeber Sashikumar was ever eager to help.

The spa is a haven of relaxation, offering a range of treatments that rejuvenate the mind and body. The serene ambiance and expert therapist Ritu and her team ensure a blissful escape from the hustle of daily life.

And then there’s the food—simply fabulous! Chef Arun provided custom meals, to suit all of our different dietary requirements, while ensuring the culinary offerings are a feast for the senses, with each dish prepared to perfection. Whether it was hearty breakfast spread or the exquisitely crafted high tea and dinners, the flavors and presentation were always top-notch.

Puneet and Jagmohan Singh never denied us a single request, always having a better alternative ready, if whatever requested happened to be unavailable.

Lastly, I know this may not matter much to others, but the fact that the entire staff of the resort was kind to the 4 community cats that roam the grounds freely, made me and family very comforted and reassured that indeed we had chosen the right place for our family holiday.

Araiya Palampur(read Pamperpur) is more than just a hotel; it’s an experience of comfort, care, and indulgence in the breathtaking lap of the Himalayas. We can’t wait to return

The most stunning location and views, a beautiful hotel, with great food and drinks. And a local Palampur flutist who serenaded the hotel residents every morning with his mesmerising gentle tunes. Icing on the cake.
But the absolute highlight for this hotel is its staff team. Every single staff member we interacted with was attentive, helpful, accommodating.
We were there for a family reunion with one nonagenarian, two octogenarians and two septuagenarians and they were so well looked after. There was a well equipped room on the ground floor with ramp and disabled facilities-in-room for use with wheelchair and when some of the family was not able to manage the steps and slopes to the restaurant the staff kindly set up tables on the lawn.
When one of the family was too unwell to make it to the restaurant for dinner, we sent some food to her room. She didn't want to eat, but Amit who took the food to her, did a great job of persuading her to eat! What a lovely young man. Also special mention to Pankaj who repeatedly went over and above to accommodate and look after us in the restaurant. And lastly Shashi who looked after us impeccably throughout the stay.
The whole family was so touched by everyone's kindness. Thank you.

We had an amazing stay at Araiya from 26th to 28th January in Room 201. The property is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the spa was relaxing.
We were here to celebrate out 10th anniversary.

However, we had one minor issue. We were traveling with a maid and had clarified meal arrangements beforehand. While the charges were mentioned, it wasn’t specified that even sharing food would incur extra costs. On the last day, our maid shared a paratha with my daughter at breakfast, which led to repeated reminders from a restaurant staff member about additional charges, even for small portions like a piece of bread.

While the staff member was polite in his tone, such rigidity felt unnecessary and doesn’t align with the spirit of hospitality. On a positive note, Anshul from reception was kind and professional in resolving the matter, and the housekeeping staff, Abhishek, was very helpful and polite throughout our stay.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, but addressing such concerns with more flexibility would enhance the guest experience.

We stayed in Araiya Palampur for 3 nights. We were a large family (4 adults and 3 children) and opted for the Duplex Suite so that we could all stay together in the same house.

The hotel is around 2 hours away from Dharamshala in a serene location in top of a hill. The roads are narrow but in good condition. The resort is fabulous with an infinity pool near the bar overlooking the Dhauladhar ranges.

The Duplex had a living room at the ground level but there were no toilets or wash basin at this level. There were 2 master rooms on the 1st level and 1 smaller master room (like a children's room with low ceiling) on the 2nd level. There are a lot of stairs to climb to reach the Suite and within the Suite too, so may be slightly challengeing for older guests. There was also a balcony with a dining table with views of the Dhauladhar range. The lights in the Suite could be improved.

The breakfast spread was fantastic and we were very well taken care of by the staff - Arun, Prabhu and Deepak. There are many choices from Indian and Continental options and good options of desserts too.

Overall, a wonderful stay with few areas for improvement. Highly recommended if you wish for peace and quiet away from Dharamshala/Mcleodganj with great views of the Dhauladhar.

We went to stay for 4 nights and had a great experience. The staff is very courteous, rooms and bathrooms are spacious and tastefully done. The kids play zone is actually good, has ice hockey and 2 PS3s with a few games as well. The gym is well equipped, and has a good sound system too. The food is diverse and delicious. Everyone in the team, Mr. Vishal, Mr. Shashi, and others were very hospitable and made sure our every request was attended too. Their cabs are more expensive than local cab providers, but otherwise a stellar property and stay.
