About
About This Retreat
Five days without screens in Sangla Valley - where the Baspa River runs turquoise through a valley of walnut and apricot orchards, and 500-year-old Kinnauri wooden temples stand on hillsides above terraced farms. Your phone goes into a locked box on Day 1. In return, you get morning walks along the Baspa River, visits to the ancient Kamru Fort and its wooden temple, afternoon naps in a traditional Kinnauri home with carved wooden balconies, and evenings watching the light change on the Kinner Kailash range. Aishani Paul, an RCI-licensed clinical psychologist, co-facilitates this retreat with a focus on digital dependency awareness, attention restoration, and mindful presence. Accommodation is in a heritage Kinnauri home. Meals feature local rajma, siddu, fresh apricots, and Kinnauri chulli (buckwheat pancakes).
