1. Cosy, Comfortable Stay
Each room at Soulitude tells a story — thoughtfully designed with warm wooden interiors, panoramic views of the river and forest, and a calm ambience that instantly feels like home. As the temperature drops outside, curl up under soft blankets, sip on hot chocolate, and listen to the sound of the river as it flows gently nearby.
2. Gourmet Festive Feasts
Food is at the heart of every celebration, and at Soulitude, we make it special. Our chefs curate a delectable festive menu that includes local Himalayan delicacies, international favourites, and indulgent desserts crafted for the season.
From Christmas Eve dinners to New Year brunches, every meal is served with love, laughter, and mountain-fresh ingredients.
3. Bonfires & Stargazing Nights
As the evening sets in, gather around a crackling bonfire under a starry Himalayan sky. Share stories, sing along to carols, or simply lose yourself in the tranquil rhythm of the wilderness.
The festive nights at Soulitude by the Riverside are magical — where warmth, companionship, and the glow of the fire replace city lights and noise.
4. Music, Joy & Celebration
Our Christmas and New Year events are designed to delight every guest. Expect soulful music, cozy gatherings, and moments of spontaneous joy. Dance into the night, watch fireworks light up the valley, and raise a toast to new beginnings.
5. Reconnect with Nature
Beyond celebration, this is your time to unwind and reconnect. Explore peaceful forest trails, meditate by the riverbank, or watch the mist rise over the mountains as dawn breaks.
