About Sounaugi

The tiny hamlet of Sonaugi is located only a few kilometers away from Manali but it could just as well be a world away. Surrounded by lush Deodar forests on three sides and apple orchards on one lies Banjara Camps & Retreats’ Sonaugi Homestead. The ‘unhotel’ is located on a steep-ish mountain slope and you can hear the rushing waters of the Beas river down in the valley below.

The Homestead offers five rooms and is a building of local stone and wood built in the native Kath-Kuni construction style. It is rustic yet elegant and exudes warmth. The bedrooms are all spacious with living spaces. The Bukharis, however, ensure the rooms are cozy and warm even in the dead of Himachali winter.
