About us

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Fagu, just outside Shimla, Kishore Vatika offers a stay surrounded by apple orchards, pine forests, and sweeping views of the snow-covered Himalayas. The air stays cool and crisp through most of the year, and winters often cover the landscape in snow—making Fagu a refreshing, quieter alternative to the busy towns nearby.

We grew up here and have always felt a deep connection to this land. Over time, more visitors began coming to Fagu and Kufri in search of the same stillness and natural beauty. With few stay options around, we felt there was space for something more personal—something simple and grounded.

That’s how Kishore Vatika came to life. Named in memory of our father, Shri Kishori Lal Kalia, it was built with care and a desire to share what this place means to us. It’s not a typical hotel—it’s a hillside retreat where every stay feels a little different, shaped by the people who come and the moments they create.
