“The Nilaya strikes me as a gem hidden near Shimla, where the bustle fades into Himalayan tranquility. From alumni gatherings to quiet anniversaries, it seems to handle both with genuine warmth, extending to the smallest details like live music under the stars. What stands out most is its embrace of nature-sunset spots, stargazing opportunities, and themed rooms, all pointing to a thoughtful and restorative escape.”
