Aamod at Shoghi, on a gentle hill slope, surrounded by dense forests of oak, pine and rhododendrons is utterly devoid of the hustle and bustle of modern day life. It is an ideal place for those who want to enjoy nature in its unlimited glory. Secluded, pristine, undisturbed…Shoghi is a tiny piece of paradise tucked away on NH 22, sixteen kilometers short of Shimla. The wonderful combination of tranquility, verdant hills, panoramic views and above all the mesmerizing beauty of the mighty Shivalik range provides a sui generis and an unrivalled ecotourism experience to the visitors. Amongst its many attractions is the unusual design philosophy, not a single tree was chopped when the property was built. The structures are built on natural clearings within the forest. Anything man-made at Aamod perfectly blends in with nature.

For a feeling of excitement and rejuvenation there are umpteen adventure activities at the resort. The high-adrenaline activities include rappelling, rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking, flying fox, Burma Bridge and a plethora of indoor games, karaoke story telling and art for the languorous evenings. And since the effort is to usher in a green philosophy around the resort, there are plenty of activities that are planned everyday as per the choice and mood of the guest. The mountaintop Spa at Aamod is called “The Sublime”. It’s a little heaven made out of nature – bamboo, stone and most importantly crisp, clean air. An open-air heated Jacuzzi adds to the treatment rooms – open from one side to breathtaking views.

The Colonial – a delightful muti-cuisine restaurant and bar, has an excellent continental menu and an equally delightful Indian (including traditional Himachali) and Oriental cuisine and a well-stocked bar. Apart from the restaurant and bar, the interesting new concept in dining is the option to eat in any of the numerous possible locations in the resort of your choice – “You choose the place and we will set up a table”
