The Sunshine Heritage  

Tucked 1 km north of Manali’s centre, this rambling Raj-era hideaway blends colonial charm with budget-friendly rates. Walk to Mall Road, tee off treks at Lama Dugh or swing by Sahasrara glamps; Bhuntar Airport is about 51 km away. Pet-friendly and owner-managed, it’s a quieter alternative to the busy town.

Built in 1928, the property keeps its colonial vibe—veranda-edged suites around a courtyard, ornate fireplaces and large dressing rooms that hint at old-world grandeur. Rooms are spacious and well appointed, many with garden-facing views; upstairs front rooms boast the best outlooks. The small number of rooms gives a private, exclusive feel, with apple orchards, gardens and a backyard farm home to rabbits, geese and ducks.

Free on-premises Wi‑Fi and complimentary parking, plus a library for quiet afternoons. Winter-sport fans get a ski area, ski transfer and ski-equipment rental; there’s a tour desk to book local excursions and hotel transfers to move around town. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the picnic and barbecue areas set in the garden and orchard—wake up to crisp mountain air and orchard views.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and complimentary parking make short business stays easy. The hotel is owner-managed and offers private check-in/check-out, transfer assistance and car rental options for smooth logistics.

Casual outdoor dining on the property includes a picnic area and barbecue spot nestled in the gardens and apple orchards—perfect for al fresco meals and simple gatherings.
