The Story
A British-era estate nestled in the Himalayan foothills. Reimagined with sensitivity. Restored with purpose. Preserved for generations to come.
Philosophy
The Estate
The Factory unfolds as a thoughtfully restored mountain retreat where heritage, architecture and nature exist in quiet harmony. Meandering pathways, restored industrial buildings, heritage bungalows, private villas and wellness spaces are woven into the landscape, allowing guests to explore the estate at an unhurried pace.
Every element has been carefully positioned to preserve the character of the land, creating an experience that feels both deeply rooted in history and unmistakably contemporary.

Why This Exists
The Factory is deeply personal to me. Conceived over many years, the estate sits gently within its surroundings while paying quiet homage to history. The architecture is my interpretation of a modern British hill station, interwoven with traditional Himachali design.
Every material, proportion, and detail has been considered with care, creating a space that feels quietly contemporary, deeply authentic, and unmistakably of the mountains.

Patronage
At the threshold of forest and mountain, The Factory offers an immersive retreat where nature shapes every experience. Days unfold at an unhurried pace, from tennis and pickleball to guided hikes, yoga, and mountain biking, giving way to tranquil bathing pools and curated wellness spaces.
Dining is woven into the rhythm of the estate. Guests may linger over lunches in our century-old tavern, gather for evening conversations in the restored factory shed, or discover seasonal menus celebrating craftsmanship and a profound sense of place.
Choose from just six Wellness Residences, each designed in quiet dialogue with the landscape. Rooted in place and conceived to endure, these are homes that will become part of The Factory's story for generations to come.
