With nearly two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, I have developed a true passion for welcoming guests from around the world and sharing in their unique stories. Prior to relocating to Darjeeling, I had the privilege of hosting travelers in Manali, which further deepened my appreciation for the art of hospitality. At Asraya, I personally oversee every aspect of the property, ensuring a warm and memorable experience for all guests.
