PRAKĀSÁ

This place was a magical and rare find. Nestled in the undisturbed serenity of the Himalayas only a 15 min drive from manali. It felt like staying in a home and not a hotel at all. With a clean hi tech open kitchen and a personal movie theater this was certainly on of my most unique stays. Kudos to Vrinda for the awesome, clean and healthy food.

Prakasa was an awesome experience! The place is super well-maintained and just gorgeous. It's tucked away from all the Manali city buzz, so it's incredibly peaceful. Imagine chilling amidst an apple orchard – pure tranquility, and the food is awesome too! Prateek and Vrinda are such welcoming and friendly hosts. And the cherry on top - the in-house cinema experience. Don’t miss that if you are a movie buff.

Our family of five had the most heartwarming time at Prakasa. The kids loved running around the apple orchard, while we soaked in the tranquility. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the food felt just like home. We’ll be back—this time with grandparents!

This is going to be your home away from home. The hosts- Prateek and Vrinda gave us a really warm welcome and the stay is very cozy, homely and the views from balcony are serene. And you cannot miss the home cooked healthy and hygienic food which also tastes really good. There are lot of activities in the stay so you won't get bored. Also 2 cute pet pahaadi doggos.🐶 If you stay at Prakasa, it's going to be your most memorable stay for sure.

A stay I’ll never forget. From the moment you enter Prakasa, you feel it — warmth, peace, and that rare feeling of being at home in the mountains. The rooms are cozy and thoughtfully designed, blending rustic Himachali charm with modern comfort. The uninterrupted views of the mountains are truly soul-soothing — best enjoyed from the balcony with a hot cup of chai. There’s so much to do here — a cinema-style home theatre, a pool table, board games, cards, and corners that make you want to pause and just be. The hospitality is unmatched — warm, attentive, and genuine. The hosts make you feel like family. And the homemade food? Every meal is comforting, local, and made with love. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Himachal with everything you need (and nothing you don’t), this is it. Prakasa is not just a homestay — it’s an experience.

What a vibe! I stayed in the dorm and instantly felt at home. Great energy, clean spaces, warm people, and bonfire nights under the stars. Perfect mix of calm and community. 10/10 would recommend to fellow wanderers!

My stay at Prakasa was nothing short of amazing. Vrinda and Pratik are exceptional hosts who truly care about every detail and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Their hospitality is heartfelt and genuine. The location is stunning — peaceful, surrounded by untouched nature, and only a short drive from Manali. The home is beautifully designed and incredibly well-equipped, featuring everything from a cozy home cinema to a billiard pool that adds a fun touch to your stay. The food deserves a special mention. Vrinda’s love for cooking comes through in every dish — fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. Mealtimes felt like a personal, home-style experience you won’t find in hotels. Whether you’re looking to disconnect, enjoy nature, or simply be pampered with warm hospitality, Prakasa is the perfect escape.

Not your usual Manali stay. No chaos, no crowds. Just raw beauty, good conversations, and that feeling of being away from it all. If you love hidden gems and places that feel personal, you’ll love Prakasa.
