Araiya Palampur

Araiya is the perfect hotel if you want to get away from it all and have some peace and quiet or if you want to explore the area and return to a comfortable, even luxurious hotel at the end of your day. The only negative thing I have to say about this place is also a positive - it is far away up in the hills and reached by driving endless perilous winding mountain roads. But it also means you find yourself in paradise when you get there. The service is exceptional and special mention must be made of Ravi and the chef of the Araiya restaurant. They all spoke good English and were there for any request we had. There are abundant delicious dishes on the menu; a pool; bar; and an excellent spa. In fact we had the best massages we have ever had. The place is spotlessly clean, the rooms are huge, and everything seems new and is well-maintained. Enjoy the breathtaking surroundings and tranquility while you unwind.

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

Stayed at this property to celebrate my Birthday. It was a blissful experience. Blend of modern and Traditional aesthetics, the place has heavenly views and the most amazing feature of all is the heated pool that overlooks mighty Dhauladhars. There is a room for improvement in service but all in all the staff was very professional. Thanks to Sakshi Ji for giving us amazing deal and Sashi Ji for assisting us.

It was amazing stay araiya when we visited there with office colleagues for an offsite in dec first week...Property has avery beautiful view of mountains and stay was very comfortable.. Staff was very decent and had customer centric approach

Booked a last minute dinner at Araiya for myself and my partner as we were celebrating our engagement. The service we received was amazing. When I contacted Araiya, I spoke to Puneet and he informed me that they can organise a romantic candlelight dinner for us. This was a beautiful setup and experience and it was all organised for us within a few hours. Puneet was also our waiter for the night was and he made the experience even more amazing. From staying out in the cold all night to take our orders to taking multiple photos for us, Puneet was extremely helpful. Highly recommend this experience.

The resort was absolutely amazing, with top-class service provided by Puneet and his team, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The food was exceptional, offering a variety of delicious options that we thoroughly enjoyed. I had planned a surprise anniversary night for my wife, and the team executed it flawlessly, making it one of the most special and unforgettable experiences we’ve ever had. Everything, from the ambiance to the attention to detail, was simply perfect.
