Moksha Himalaya Spa Resort: A perfect little bit of heaven on earth
If you are wondering if there is any place where you can find yourself surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of nature but with a degree of pampering luxury, good food, and some activity to keep yourself happily occupied, we have the ideal spot for you.
This may sound like a tall order because most resorts pall after the first day or two when you begin to feel sylvan surroundings notwithstanding, it’s time to head back to the madding crowd. What’s more, one doesn’t want to travel far and long to find one’s utopia.
A great option for a memorable break is to head for Moksha, a tranquil wellness retreat set atop the Shivalik mountain range.
The Himalayan Spa Resort is just a five-hour drive from Delhi, a little over an hour from Chandigarh, and an hour from Mohali airport.
Post a comfortable drive and leaving the heat and dust of Delhi, you will find yourself in the cool climes of Parwanoo, Himachal Pradesh, where at the well-known Timber Trail Resort (both have the same owners), you can transport yourself to Moksha by cable car which will take you from 2000 ft to 5000 ft.
This is just a nine-minute truly scenic ride up to the mountain top which houses Moksha.
Everything at Moksha Himalaya spa resort is liberating. A minimum two-three night stay at this scenic, 5-star retreat is a treat.
The lovely deluxe room with a stunning view, the special Ayurveda spa treatment after an in-depth consultation with the spa doctor, the dip in the infinity pool surrounded by lush green vistas, and then a dusk dip in the outdoor hot tub that is a warm therapy under the bright starlit sky of a chilly evening will leave you pleasurably surprised.
The Moksha spa has an array of signature holistic treatments that embrace the philosophy of “Release “and “Rebirth “to reach an experience of perfect peace.”
The focus on promoting a life force by combining life-affirming mental attitudes and purification complemented by the curative elements of locally grown herbs is intrinsic in all their therapies.
Also on offer are curative sessions of Yoga Aromatherapy and Acupuncture.
Moksha also offers the traditions of the Turkish hammams.
The hammam has evolved and taken on a luxurious avatar in this stylish and tranquil sanctuary where one cleanses the body through a series of rituals while purifying the body and relaxing the mind.
With traditions dating back two thousand years ago, the hammam bath rituals help to stimulate the immune system with a cooling effect. The aura of serenity and calmness is palpable in the beautifully set up hammam room in the spa.
The session is a profoundly relaxing treatment that uses hot steam to give your skin a deep cleanse. Unique soaps are also used to encourage exfoliation and skin regeneration. The hammam experience at Moksha is one of the best and certainly a perfect way to spend a couple of leisurely hours.
Once the hour-long experience is complete, one has the option to leave the hammam or stay and continue with relaxation in the bath. Drink the herbal tea the gracious spa staff provides to help return the body to its average temperature and sit in the lounge and read books, and magazines for a wonderful totally relaxing experience.
Other than the amazing spa, there is the gourmet cuisine cooked by the head chef, who spares no effort to please your tastebuds.
A must-try is the slow-cooked Himachali Thali with delicious khatta mutton, the chef’s special take on the local food.
There is plenty more to experience at Moksha – to begin with, is an energizing Yoga session in the beautiful early morning hour.
This can be followed, post a leisurely breakfast, by a sporty hike along the mountain trails.
Check-in for an invigorating Swedish massage at the spa in the late afternoon and post a dinner that includes a flavorsome biryani and a yummy halwa, you can be assured of a deep sleep.
Moksha Himalaya spa resort is truly a holiday destination you will savour for a long time. The stunning visuals of the Himalayan range and the wonderful experiences that pamper all your senses will continue to make you smile whenever you recall great memories of a perfect holiday.
