In my last week post on destination sojourn, I spoke about Shimla and places around. On the same note, I bring you to a place called Aamod, just 15Kms Short of Shimla on the National Highway 22. Aamod, situated on a forest hill, just short of Shoghi, offers a very different experience. The resort is amidst this thick forest hill and the entire hill right from the Highway has been blended with the resorts infrastructure. The arrival at the base of the hill has an adequate car parking from where the resort's vehicles ferry the guests to the reception.If the Guests prefer they can walk from the parking to the reception, which is a 200 Mtr gentle climb. Just short of the reception, a beautifully constructed modern architectural restaurant treats the guest with refreshments. This open kitchen restaurant with multi-cuisine specialties offered through its specialist chefs is quite unique and one of its kinds in such a wilderness.
The Resort offers Log Huts made of teak and deodar wood. The Huts are spaced beautifully utilizing the natural bends and turns of the hill. Each Log Hut is designed to a theme offering all luxuries one can think off. Each hut has a modern bathroom, a private wooden veranda with wooden swings and authentic wooden furniture. The rooms are quite spacious and has all modern facilities like wifi, Personal DTH, Telephone etc and to top it all the roofs of the Huts are blended with thatched hoofs/Straws. The verandas and the doors of each hut open to a thick silent forest.
The entire resort has many activities to its offering. One can drink tea or enjoy the warmth of the sun in the beautifully constructed machans, one can go for wild trekking looking for birds and capturing the beauty of the valleys around or one can do activities like rope climbing, commando rope walking, burma bridge or flying between trees using pulleys. The best part of the resort is that one can organize trainings, meetings or presentations in an open air conference room, situated at the top of the Hill. The conference room is covered from the top using the same blend of thatched hoofs but is open from its sides. The official activities can be planned ath this conference room, which has a capacity of 60 to 80 people.
Last but not the least the Resort has a one of its kind open air Spa and Massage Parlour right at the top of the Hill. The beautiful valley on the other side has golden grass laden hills and a valley which has the ancient toy train meandering between the hills. The experience of staying in this resort is a deeply satisfying one and worth the money. I can assure that one would definitely want to stay one night more or come back again to this resort whenever time permits. Such is the awe inspiring feeling at this wonderful place.
