Dedicated to the spirit of offbeat family holidays and adventure, Whispering Pines is the best prayers answered of anyone and everyone who love nature and Himalayas. The retreat set in the Garhwal Himalayas is a meditative haven that brings in the rarest combination of soul soothing peace and high adrenaline adventure. Since 2002, Whispering Pines has been known for its utmost emphasis on safety, high level of personalised services, warm and hospitable staff and excellent cuisine.

Whispering Pines, set in the heart of the Indian Himalayas and surrounded by dense Pine, Cedar, Oak and Rhododendron forests, with a magical dash of Wild Iris and other wild flowers, seems to straight out of a poem by Keats or some romantic classic. Stunning view of Snow capped Himalayas, captivating valleys and heart filling peace embraces you here.

Founded in 2002 by Treks ‘n Rapids – India’s leading adventure sports & outdoor education company, Whispering Pines is located in its sprawling premise, spread over an entire hillock at Jwarna, a stunning hamlet close to Dhanolti in Uttarakhand. Jwarna has recently been recommended as one of India’s Top Five Adventure Holiday Destinations in India by Mail Today Newspaper (India Today Group).

Whispering Pines offers multiple options of accommodation and caters to different vacation ideas, tastes and requirements. Super Deluxe Safari Tents with attached toilets and bath, Deluxe Safari Tents with plush interiors and an adjacent modern toilet/bath complex with running water and Adventure Alpine/Dome Tent colony for those high on adrenaline. Believing that adventure is more about exploring and being in touch with nature than about jumping off cliffs  and that eco friendly holiday should not mean rugged stay and low-on-taste food, Whispering Pines brings to you the widest variety of things to do (or to not do, for that matter), be it Spiritual Recreation in the form of Yoga, Meditation, Spa Therapies or High Adrenaline Adventure like Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Trekking, Night Hiking, Mountain Biking, Valley Crossing or quiet romantic moments with your special someone and fun filled camp indoor / outdoor activities with Kids and family.    

Whispering Pines happens to be one of the highest lifestyle adventure and wellness retreat in India at a height of over 8,300 feet above m.s.l. Whispering Pines is also the closest high altitude holiday destination, at this height, from New Delhi and is well connected with Air (Dehradun Airport; 90 kms), Rail (Dehradun and Haridwar; 75 kms and 90 kms) and Road (straight till the retreat).

Over the years, Whispering Pines has been the most popular (over 8,000 guests), most loved (over 93% repeat customer rate) and most recommended (Outlook Traveller, Economic Times, and others). No big promises, no fancy satisfaction guarantees, not a hotel (nor intends to be), but one place in the Himalayas where you should come just for pure Himalayas, and come to experience nature at its captivating best, while we remain facilitators and try to make your stay comfortable and holiday memorable with the widest array of experiences. If there is heaven on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!
