Nationwide release, 25th October 2023: High atop an untouched rocky mountaintop, Vaatalya unveils itself as India’s most well-kept, enchanting secret. Vaatalya is a unique Himalayan community retreat dedicated to alternate living, holistic rejuvenation, and authentic connections. Spanning an expansive 9 acres, this sanctuary promises not just a community stay but an unforgettable journey rooted in a dream that began in 2007.

A space where people gather to temporarily disconnect from their daily routines, seeking physical, mental, and emotional rejuvenation while fostering a sense of belonging and shared growth within a supportive group setting of 11 people from age of 7 to 93, two lovely Canines, two Cows are living, working, and celebrating together.

“Vaatalya isn’t just a location; it’s an emotion, a journey of self-discovery and community bonding,” shares Aarti Babhoota, Community Director and one-half of the passionate minds behind this initiative. Meanwhile, Aditya Sharma, her life partner, reflects on the transformative power of their retreat, adding, “Here, the boundaries fade, and you’re one with the universe. The sky, the mountains—they converse with you, guiding you towards a higher self.”

Over a decade ago, the Sharma family decided to trade city clamor for this enriching mountaintop haven. Today, their dream has evolved into an Alternate living retreat, where every traveler is prompted to prioritize health, passions, art, and love.
