How to Holiday Like a Maharaja

  • By the Lake, Alleppey, Kerala

    In the small town of Nahan, Himachal, the Bantony Cottage stands tall. It was once the holiday home of the Maharaja of Sirmur and now it is one of Himachal’s most iconic boutique stay, offering the ‘Maharaja’ experience to all its precious guests.

    From the moment you disembark from your chariot (or car), Seclude’s well trained staff will greet you with a refreshing drink and a heartfelt smile. As you walk through the abundant outdoors, the calmness of nature engulfs you and a sense of grandeur lingers in the air.

      Seclude Nahan, Bantony Cottage, beckons you to step into a world where every detail is crafted to offer you a Maharaja’s holiday. Adorned with antique furniture, plush fabrics, and intricate decor, the interiors of this bungalow are alive with historic glamour and playful colours. While some rooms like the Simur Suite are bursting with extravagance, others pay a more subtle homage to the lifestyles of the colonial royals. Each room has a little touch of luxury in them; be it a lush swing in Briraj, a regal nook in Shamsher and Palash, a sunlight paradise in Prakash or the ornate chandeliers in Raanital. The room names themselves hold a story, each related to the lives of the Kings in the rich history of Simur.

Picture yourself dining amidst candle-lit crystal chandeliers and fine China, a setting fit for the grand feasts hosted by the royal family, with each little flame casting a warm glow on your plate as you savour every exquisite bite.

          Venture beyond the majestic confines of Bantony Cottage to discover the historical town of Nahan. Visit ancient temples, Ponta Sahib gurudwara, the Sirmur palace, stroll along cobbled streets, and absorb the rich cultural heritage of the region, creating a perfect blend of regal seclusion and exploration.

          Another one of the highlights of Seclude Nahan is the opportunity to explore private forest trails. As you wander through the lush greenery, surrounded by the symphony of birdsong, you’ll feel a connection to the natural world reminiscent of the king’s hunting expeditions. The trails offer a serene escape, allowing you to rejuvenate in the lap of nature, far from the bustling world.

          From the opulent accommodations and fine dining to private forest trails and cozy leisure spaces to unparalleled service, answering your every beck and call; this colonial-era masterpiece captures the true essence of royalty.
