The Setting
On the Landour hilltop of Mussoorie, the retreat is held in a secluded home surrounded by quiet hillside paths and forest glens known only to locals. The massive views and the deodar, rhododendron, and oak-covered hills offer wonder, creative inspiration, and a connection to something deeper in yourself.
The Stay
Shanti Kunj is a hidden gem, a lovingly curated heritage cottage tucked away on an exclusive Landour hillside — hidden from the crowds, forested on all sides, with a terrace opening to sweeping Himalayan foothills views. Spread across three levels, the house includes the terrace and a sunroom, two libraries, multiple living areas, and enough nooks and crannies to balance warm group spaces with quiet corners for solitude and reflection.

The Setting
Nestled in a hilly landscape with a mix of forests and agricultural lands near Hosur, Tamil Nadu, The Hidden Eden is a pleasant farm stay surrounded by nature, where you are free to pause, reflect, and simply be.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, it is a haven where guests could reconnect with nature and themselves. This area enjoys a cool and refreshing climate throughout the year, making it an ideal getaway from the noise.
The Stay
The cottages are a heartfelt reflection of the wabi-sabi philosophy, where beauty blooms in imperfection and authenticity. Every detail whispers this truth—the gentle curve of the roofs, the kintsugi-inspired granite tiles that honor flaws with grace, and the textured walls that hold the charm of the unfinished.
The locale makes it the perfect setting for our mountain retreat. Ideal for our Kinstugi Story Experience and other activity that we've planned, we couldn't ask for a better location than The Hidden Eden, to bring out ones imagination or to simply just bask in the bosom of nature, allowing it to nurture, restore and rejuvenate.
