Your Place to belong
Every journey tells a story. Some are written in mountain sunrises, winding roads, and quiet moments beside a river. Others are found in shared laughter, new friendships, and the feeling of finally belonging.

THE YAARANA WAY
Yaarana was never a business plan. It began with a feeling. We’re Jhanvi and Harsh Bhatt, siblings from Mumbai who came to the Himalayas chasing mountains, fresh snow, and the freedom that only the outdoors can offer. We thought we’d stay for a while, but somewhere along the journey, the mountains quietly became home. As we built a life here, we opened our doors to fellow travellers. We spent our days climbing mountains, learning, exploring hidden trails, sharing stories over chai, and showing people the Himalayas the way we had fallen in love with them. Slowly, something beautiful happened. Guests stopped feeling like guests. They became friends, and many kept coming back not because of a room or a destination, but because they found a place where they felt seen, welcomed, and truly belonged. That’s how Yaarana was born.
HOW WILL YOU EXPERIENCE THE HIMALAYAS ?
Some journeys challenge you. Some help you slow down. Some introduce you to lifelong friendships. Every Yaarana experience offers a little of each. All you have to do is begin. Choose the experience that speaks to you, and let the mountains write the rest of your story.

The environment is very peaceful and last but not least the bestest owner of all time ‘Janvi mam’ thanks for everything and your helpful nature…🏔️😎
The most beautiful part of this property is it's next to the hot water spring and if you love spending time with local and enjoy their culture this property is for you.
Waking up to snow covered mountain and dip in Holi kund was a daily routine.
The food here simple and decent. Sometimes we used to cook together and that was a fun.
Looking forward for my another Long stay here..
The stay offers a breathtaking mountain view and is located right behind Vashisht Kund, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and those looking for a peaceful retreat. The serene surroundings added to the beauty of our trip.
A special thanks to the owner, Jhanvi, who was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout our stay. Before our arrival, we spoke to her about our kids and their special arrangements. She was kind enough to allow our personal maid to cook for our children, which was a huge relief for us.
Every day, she personally checked in with us, guided us throughout our trip, and ensured we had the best experience in Manali. We truly enjoyed the breathtaking mountain views, the chilly weather, the cozy campfire, the delicious barbecue, and the fantastic music system that added to the lively atmosphere.
Another highlight of our stay was the easy accessibility to nearby attractions, which made our sightseeing more convenient. The peaceful ambiance combined with modern amenities made our stay truly special.
Overall, Yaarana Stay & Cafe exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-managed, and guest-friendly stay in Manali, I highly recommend it.
Thank you, Jhanvi, for making our trip so memorable!
