Welcome to Kangra Fort Retreat, a beautifully restored 120-year-old ancestral home set in the heart of Old Kangra, near Kangra Fort. I’m Atul, your host! My family and I have joyfully returned to our roots after the pandemic to breathe new life into this heritage property. We live close by and are always here to care for our guests' needs, ensuring you have a warm and authentic experience during your stay. Our 4-bedroom house offers the rare luxury of booking an entire space — ideal for families, couples, or friends looking for peace and privacy. With a spacious courtyard, fruit trees, a badminton court, and modern amenities, it's a serene escape surrounded by hills and history. We also serve delicious home-cooked meals on request, including gluten-free options for sensitive guests. Just 5 minutes from the historic Kangra Fort and close to the town center, our location blends culture and calm. Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, or remote worker, this is your home in the hills. Come as guests, leave as friends!

We are a family deeply connected to the history and hospitality of Kangra. I’m Atul, your host — I oversee the retreat while also managing my IT consulting business remotely. My wife, Shailja, is an advocate who cherishes Himachali traditions and enjoys hosting thoughtfully. We live nearby with our two school-aged children, who fill our lives with warmth and laughter. My father is a highly respected retired journalist who still enjoys conversations about culture, travel, and life in the hills. My mother is an artist deeply connected to Himalayan traditions. She enjoys sharing local stories and sometimes even prepares authentic dishes for guests. Our friendly dogs roam the garden and love human company, though we keep them away from guest areas unless requested. We’re always around for help, chats, or guidance — and we value every guest not just as a visitor, but as someone who becomes part of the retreat’s story. Whether you're seeking peace, culture, or connection, you’ll find it here.
