Wood Crista on its ridge, deodar forest to one side and terraced orchards to the other

Kufri, Himachal Pradesh

Wake up above
the valley

A wood-panelled retreat at 2,700 m. Apple orchards below your balcony, the Shimla ranges straight ahead.

A Sanctuary
in the Hills

Wood Crista Retreat is not simply a hotel — it is a place lodged between an apple orchard and the open sky of Kufri. Set on Bekhalti Road, just 3.3 km from the Kufri town centre.

Guests arrive seeking distance from the noise of the plains. They find wood-panelled rooms with private balconies, open-air terraces, and a kitchen that cooks with unhurried care.

One house,
a whole hillside

We sent a drone up on a clear September morning. What it found: terraced orchards, deodar forest, and the ranges fading out behind the roofline.
