For eons Dunagiri has been a destination of self realization for seekers, gurus, masters, and sages alike. The divine energies that drew these individuals is no less prevalent in this current age. The proximity to sacred sites and spiritual beings brings the experience to it's climax. Yet what realy made this place sacred for me was how well Piyush has... More

Absolutely unique retreat in a magical setting. Gracious mountain hospitality, concern and respect for the magical environment and the hand of Mother Nature on your heart every day.

The owner, Piyush has done an outstanding job of keeping the simplicity of mountain village life intact while providing creature comforts such as hot showers and fresh hot delicious meals in the...

This has been the most wonderful place we have stayed so far on our trip to India…next thing will be “Samadhi”! We all love Dunagiri, the paharis, the people, the food, the amazing hikes, the buffaloes, the dogs, the cat and the hundreds of birds. Thank you for making our stay a very blissful one.
