If there is one lesson 2020 has taught us, it is that reality can at times go beyond our wildest imagination. Who would have believed a year ago that the entire world could be brought to a standstill by the vagaries of a virus? That millions across the globe would be cocooned inside their homes for months on end and that social gathering and even something as casual as shopping would start looking like a risky adventure? More than even we have come to appreciate what our homes mean to us. Many have tried to reach a more harmonious existence with Nature.
For those of us at Auramah Valley, we have been blessed to be able to shelter in a little slice of Paradise, waking up to golden sunrises and the energizing sight of mist on the mountains. Allow us to share with you some of our joys up here in the mountains, apart from the crisp Himalayan air and the soothing greenery all around.
Delightful Walks
Maybe it is the majestic sight of the rugged mountains or maybe it’s just the clean and pure air, but there is something about living at Auramah Valley that makes you want to be up and about. There is a treasure trove of walking trails, just waiting for you! You can either choose to stay within the expansive grounds of Auramah Valley or venture out into the woods nearby.
Take a different path each day and be rewarded with sights that will make your soul sing! Watch out for playful birds and flowers or simply allow your mind to wander free. There has never been a more relaxing activity than taking a solitary walk in the woods.
Moments to relish for a lifetime
Every single resident of Auramah Valley discovered their own favourite secret spot during this unexpectedly long break from routine. Some have their little nooks to read in peace and silence while basking in their own personal patch of sunshine. Others have discovered the joys of a picnic in the woods to the accompaniment of bird song, gurgling brooks and swaying pines.
For some of our homeowners, the joy of sitting out in the balcony, looking at the green valley below never fails to fill them with positivity and cheer. Everyone has honed their photography skills and how could they not? Anywhere you point and click is a frame-worthy sight that never loses its novelty.
Active Lifestyle
Auramah Valley is designed to make every resident feel revitalised in mind and body. Just catching the sunrise can take away your cares and worries. As for the body, there is a ton of options to help you keep fit and energetic in just about any manner you like. For the workout addicts, the open-air gym is their favourite part of their day.
Even for the not-so-motivated, the spectacular view from the gym is a great reason to let go of the laziness. An energetic tennis session at India’s highest tennis ground is just one of the charms of daily life here. And for the golf lovers, the Naldehra Golf Course is a mere 3 km away. Living here in the lap of luxury, surrounded by the best of nature’s offerings, you cannot but be energized in body and spirits
Be pampered in every way!
An extended stay at Auramah Valley can spoil you to the extent that you find it difficult to adjust back to your mundane life back in the city! For one, every bit of food you eat here is fresh, locally grown and organic. You can, in fact, pick your own vegetables from the organic farms and have them prepared to your liking in pure spring waters.

You will never want to pick your vegetables from a supermarket shelf anymore! And at the end of a long day of work, you can treat yourself to a rejuvenating session at the in-house spa with world-class facilities.
Safe social interactions
Socially distanced from the rest of the world, our little community of residents enjoyed safe social interactions in the warmth of the clubhouse. Evenings were dedicated to cards or billiards as barbeque dinners out in the grounds created a magical atmosphere. Some just enjoyed reading by the fireside while others participated in animated discussions with their neighbors.
Lounging by the temperature-controlled pool was an activity much enjoyed by many. In this self-contained community, there was nothing to fear from each other. Every need, from health care to shopping for essentials is taken care of and there is no need to step out (unless you want to, of course.)
Shhh!
Adding to the charms of our haven in the mountains are the little secrets that enhance the quality of our days here. For one, there are the delightful treats we source for desserts from Sashwati. And exquisite cheeses by our own Francois, a Frenchman who calls Shimla home. You see, a short vacation in the hills is very different from actually living in the hills.
To be able to breathe in that air every single day; to be able to walk those winding trails any time you feel like it; to see the butterflies flitting about in the woods and follow the streams gurgling along are joys we experience on a daily basis. And each one of us is so thankful for it!
Living at Auramah Valley gives you the kind of quality lifestyle you have always yearned for, away from the pressures of snarling traffic and milling crowds. Many of our homeowners chose to shelter in place in their luxury home in the mountains because of the security it offers. Enveloped by the mountains and secluded from the crowds, there could be no better location to wait out the pandemic.
It helps that the facilities and surroundings are conducive to peacefully work from home too. Perhaps it is a great moment to rethink our priorities and choose what our minds and bodies truly deserve.
