In-House Restaurant

Private Gardens
Your Own Piece of the Mountains
Every cottage at Vanam comes with its own private garden — a secluded outdoor space where you can start your morning with chai and birdsong, spend an afternoon reading in the sun, or simply sit and watch the mist roll over the Himalayan ridgeline. No shared lawns, no strangers — just your own quiet corner of nature.
Included with all cottage types | Outdoor seating & garden furniture provided | Maintained daily
Bonfire Setup
Evenings Around the Fire
There is something irreplaceable about gathering around a bonfire as the Himalayan night settles in. Every cottage at Vanam includes a complimentary bonfire setup in your private garden — firewood arranged and lit by our team, so all you need to do is pull up a chair, pour a drink, and let the evening unfold.
Complimentary for all guests | Set up on request each evening | Firewood included | Available year-round
Bonfire Packages
Make It a Moment
Elevate your bonfire evening with one of our curated packages — perfect for anniversaries, proposals, or simply a special night. Choose from a romantic setup with fairy lights, blankets, and hot chocolate, or a social package with snacks, music, and a dedicated host. Pre-book at the time of reservation.

Room Service
Breakfast in Bed, Dinner by the Fire

Nature Walks
Into the Deodar Forest
Mashobra sits at the edge of some of Himachal Pradesh's most beautiful forest trails. Step out of your cottage and into a world of towering deodar cedars, apple orchards, and mountain meadows. Our team can suggest routes suited to your pace — from gentle morning strolls to longer half-day walks with panoramic ridge views.

Guided Treks
Deeper Into the Himalayas
