Karma Chalets<br />

India | Boutique Hotel<br />

If you’re in need of a weekend getaway, then you couldn’t ask for a more<br />

perfect place than the quaint and award-winning Karma chalets. A<br />

stunning boutique hotel nestled within the environmental wonderland<br />

known as the Karma Lakelands, in the majestic state of Haryana,<br />

India. For Vanshika Ahuja - Creative Head and Director at Karma<br />

Chalets, it came as a bit of a surprise when her parents, Anu<br />

Khurana and Ajay Ahuja decided to open Karma Chalets. Welltraveled<br />

and friendly, both Anu and Ajay had learned much<br />

about hospitality from staying in big 5-star hotels and<br />

smaller boutique properties all over the world. When<br />

the opportunity came in 2016 to create a place of<br />

their own, both saw it as a chance to apply all that<br />

they had learned, show off the little touches that<br />

make for a memorable experience, and most<br />

importantly of all, to design a place in their<br />

own imagination that reflects the right<br />

way to approach hospitality.<br />

Working tirelessly alongside handpicked designers, Anu<br />

brought in her own homely touches like moving away<br />

from traditional paintings and instead, beautifying<br />

the walls with photographs from her travels. Much of<br />

her work has left it’s mark and the property perfectly<br />

balances old-world charm with contemporary design.<br />

In 2018 they opened a restaurant ‘Under the Neem’ and<br />

Spa called ‘Nimoli’. Much to Vanshika’s delight, both<br />

have been a resounding success and the restaurant<br />

in particular has a strict focus on fresh local produce.<br />

Both the restaurant and spa have <strong>com</strong>e to be seen as<br />

the finishing touches to Anu and Ajay’s vision. Strolling<br />

around the hotel grounds between the splendid<br />

Chalets you’ll appreciate the peace and tranquillity. The<br />

outstanding setting of Karma Lakelands means there is<br />

much to do - such as cycling, nature walks, birdwatching<br />

as well as an on-site golf course, swimming pool, animal<br />

farm, and bee apiary.<br />

The Karma family invites you to <strong>com</strong>e find a haven that<br />

you would be glad to have discovered. Relax, rejuvenate<br />

and rejoice while they take care of the rest!<br />
