It was built in 2004 The shagor (two storied building enclosing the central tower) has 8 guest rooms. The dining room, the kitchen and a meeting room are also located in the shagor. Conscious efforts were made to retain the original ambiance of the rooms. Each room is different from the other. All rooms are cozy and simply furnished . Some rooms have individual heating facilities with wood burning stoves (bukhari), others have electric heaters. All the rooms have attached toilets and showers. Our sanitary installations are imported from Switzerland. We use solar energy to heat the water (except for the two rooms in the hermitage).
