The Slow Brunch

The experience

What to expect

Late morning is when the orchard exhales. No dramatic golden peaks—just soft daylight, birdsong, and the easy rhythm of local life. We begin with a gentle walk through the trees, learning how the orchard changes through the seasons. Then you settle into low seating, cushions, and hammocks for a chef-curated Himachali orchard brunch that leans on what’s fresh and local. There’s no rush here. Read, sketch, chat with our host, or simply do nothing at all. Kids can help the team with simple prep tasks (when available) or collect fallen leaves for a tiny nature journal. We keep it quiet, low-impact, and mindful—no amplified music, no crowding, and definitely no litter.

Easy booking and clear directions. Visited in October — shaded seating under the apple trees, with rugs, recliners and a few chairs. Brunch was local and tasty— buckwheat preparation with loads of ghee, rajma-chawal and a fresh chutney. Slow coffee and chai kept coming. Clean toilets and handwash. Bring a hat and sunscreen; it’s warm until the breeze picks up.
