Prana Lodge

Kasar Devi, India

MountainBoutique

Prana is a remote, seven-suite lodge on a forested Himalayan hillside in Kumaon, with views toward Nanda Devi and the Panchachuli range. Its small scale and secluded position make it a natural pause on Shakti Himalaya’s guided walking journeys, though it can also be booked as a standalone stay. Reaching the lodge involves a final walk from the nearest road, so the journey is part of the experience rather than a drive-up arrival.
