    The food prices were exorbitant! The rooms were underwhelming and the towels were not Upto the mark. Lots of improvements can be made in ambience. Nothing much to do in the property.

    Location was good. There was a river flowing next to the property. 15 mins away from the airport was a plus.

    The food is amazing, though there are limited options for healthy choices.

    The resort is truly magnificent, nestled amidst snowcapped mountains with a river flowing alongside and surrounded by forest trees. The constant sound of the flowing river and the chirping of birds is pure bliss. Mornings are particularly stunning. This is a must-visit destination, and a stay of at least three days is essential to fully appreciate its beauty.

    It’s a beautiful, clean and spacious property in the lap of Manuni River and Dhauladhar Range. We spent 6 days and enjoyed every bit of this property. We were most impressed to see how earth friendly the property was. From stones, to wood to soil to solar every bit used in making this property is sustainable and Eco friendly. Rooms are clean, spacious, well lit with a perfect view to the Flowing river and Snow capped mountain. Entire staff including the managers, housekeeping, chef and the driver are so warm and welcoming. They are always attending to your call and make every effort to make your stay most comfortable. You can just relax in your balcony or read in the terrace or take a dip in the river or go for a small trek on the hilltop connected from within the property. Food is extremely good and always fresh and hygienic just like home cooked food and our favourite was Himachali Kadhi pakoda. I strongly recommend Prakriti Aalay for a beautiful and mesmerising experience close to nature and away from bustling city. Perfect Gateway for rejuvenation and relaxation. Good Job team Prakriti Aalay Best Wishes and Good Luck !

    The location was fantastic with spectacular views of the Himalayan foothills. The eco lodge was beautiful and very peaceful. The staff were very helpful and readily available. The Resort was an easy drive to the centre of Dharmashala and tourist sites. The food was excellent and made fresh. There was a large variety of types of cuisine depending on your taste. I would highly recommend this eco resort.

    The LED lights (strip lights) on the restaurant are a bit too bright at night and the lamps around the property are bright white coloured which negatively affects the ambiance at night, would advise to change those to warm white. Apart from that, the stay was very good and comfortable.

    Overall the service was good and the amenities are also very fun

    The resort is situated on the river bank in a very nice place. You can hear the sounds of the river all the time. The place is remote and quiet, but close to the airport and Dharamsala. Easy to get there from New Delhi. The food at the restaurant was very good quality, really delicious.

    This was my second visit to Prakiti Allay. It's a true slice of heaven in India. I enjoy walking through the surrounding forest, dipping into the rushing river and exploring the village fields. All are accessible right from the property. The front desk is always ready to assist with booking taxis, bringing water and good food. A fabulous eco retreat!

    Food could have been better, dinner and breakfast buffer were not disappointing but did not meet the expectations we had.

    Excellent location and a great hideaway for city dwellers. The place is aesthetically done so that it looks like an eco-village rather than a hotel which is its USP. It is close enough yet not too close to Dharamshala which is helpful to those who are looking to relax. There is an option to sit by the river or walk in the woods which is added benefit.

    Wifi can be patchy at times, could benefit from a proper mesh setup, but not too bad considering it's literally in a valley in a forest.

    Pretty much everything was fantastic and as promised. The sound of the stream across the property is a delight and the fact that the buildings are nicely spaced out without overcrowding the area adds to the laid-back feel of the place.

    Everything was great

    Prakrati Aalay is an amazing eco-resort with a river flowing by its side. The location of the resort is beautiful with picturesque views and lush green forest surrounding it. The sound of the flowing river is therapeutic in itself. The staff was very helpful and courteous and accommodated even few special requests we had in terms of room decoration and arranging a candle light dinner. Kishore Thakur ji was a very gracious host & ensured that every guest was made to feel special.

    A very different experience than usual resorts. The one with the experience of 3 natures - Forest to trek, river to enjoy and a great view of mountains. You really feel you are living amidst the nature with all city facilities - great combo. If you are looking for a different experience, do go here - if you are looking for lavish buffets, watching TV, or something walkable from a market, then that's not what this place offers
