Giri River Retreat at dusk — boutique luxury in the Shimla hills
Theog · Shimla · Himachal Pradesh

Where the hills hold you still.

A boutique riverside sanctuary on the banks of the River Giri — where Himalayan stillness, intimate luxury, and untouched nature converge.

The Retreat

Ten acres of Himalayan wilderness.
One place to be still.

Giri River Retreat is a thoughtfully crafted boutique property set along the River Giri in the Shimla hills — a place where every detail, from the wood-panelled rooms to the candlelit garden paths, invites you to slow down.

Whether you seek a quiet workation, a romantic escape, or a family retreat surrounded by nature — Giri offers an experience that stays with you long after you leave the hills.

Our Philosophy

Designed for stillness.
Crafted with care.

At Giri, we believe luxury is not about abundance — it is about the precise right amount of everything: warmth, quiet, beauty, and presence.

  • Immersed in nature — every room and common space is designed to dissolve the boundary between inside and out.
  • Intimate by intention — a small collection of rooms means every guest receives unhurried, personal attention.
  • Unhurried by design — no check-out anxiety, no schedule unless you choose one. Time here belongs to you.
  • Crafted with heart — from the hand-selected furnishings to the locally sourced meals, every detail is deliberate.
