I’m all about seizing the day. I’ve traveled and lived all over the world, from Sri Lanka and Greece to Ecuador, Zanzibar and Antarctica. I love hardcore adventure – shacking up on the ice for a year, crossing the Pacific by sailboat and scuba-diving in a shark tank. I’ve written about Iceland, France, Italy, Greece and Antarctica and am also passionate about art (I’m a painter) and culture, from food and history to philosophy. My goal: to live large, with kindness, awareness and heart.

Welcomhotel has launched its second property in Himachal Pradesh—Welcomhotel Tavleen Chail – after its opening its first hotel in Mashobra. Nestled amidst lush green forests, each lodging at the resort comes with a private sit-out and panoramic views of the Himalayas.

Set amidst an old oak forest and rooted in the lap of nature, Welcomhotel Tavleen Chail has 65 rooms including 18 fairytale cottages and is an ideal getaway for anyone seeking peace, fresh mountain air, and views of the Himalayas. The place brings a wholesome yet contemporary culinary experience at The WelcomCafe Monal, named after the Himalayan bird, Monal, and Welcomsthalika. While WelcomCafe Monal serves both global and regional cuisines, the traditional Welcomsthalika serves an assortment of authentic regional dishes made with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, in turn supporting the local farming community. The Swizzle Bar meanwhile overlooks dense pine groves and serves both signature cocktails and classics.

Located close to the hotel is the Chail Cricket Ground, which is also the highest cricket ground in the world. Other nearby attractions include the Chail Wildlife Sanctuary, Chail Bazaar, Sadhupul Lake, Kali Ka Tibba and Himalayan Nature Park. Guests who love the outdoors can go paragliding, off-roading and snow driving (in-season). Families can picnic at woods and meadows around the hotel or by the stream a short drive away. Guests who prefer to lounge around the property can head to the cozy in-house library, laze at the temperature-controlled pool or join guided yoga sessions and on-site trails like the Oak Trail and Pine Trail. Kids have their own little haven in Ollie’s Corner that offers play areas specifically designed to keep them creatively engaged and entertained.
