Jana, Himachal Pradesh · The Lazy and Slow
Stay in an apple orchard above Jana. Come for a few nights, then see if you feel like leaving.
The lazy part. And the slow part.
Even a holiday can turn into a list of things to get through. Here, lunch can run into the afternoon. You can start a book, fall asleep halfway through it, and pick it up tomorrow.
We won't ask what you got done.
Choose how you stay
Choose Moonhouse, Sunroom or Twilight Room. Each has its own mood, and the orchard, meals, sauna and cold plunge come with all three.
Sunflower and Milky Way are for solo travellers, old friends and new ones. Book one bed or several under the same reservation.
An afternoon at Wild · The wood-fired sauna
The stones are hot. The forest fills the window.
Sit a little longer.
The orchard cold plunge
Snowmelt, out among the apple trees.
You can probably guess which part takes a little persuasion.
A little time at Wild
On the balcony
Two chairs, the forest in front of you, and no great reason to get up just yet.

How this became home
Ayush came to Himachal on holiday and ended up calling it home. He's been working in hospitality here since 2019. The Lazy and Slow is the place he's made for people who could do with staying a little longer.
Years of travelling through Himachal, Ladakh, Uttarakhand and Nepal have shaped how he hosts. Ask him about a walk nearby, a good meal, or where the road might take you next.

Pick apples from the trees around your room. Roll out a yoga mat in the morning. Over six nights at Wild, the faces around the dinner table become familiar. That's The Slow Harvest.

Oh. One last thing.
Where does an apple go
when it takes the slow way down?
Into tomorrow’s crumble.Good things take their time.
