I recently visited Dunagiri Retreat with 5 other friends and on the whole it was an amazingg trip! I think some of the most uniquely significant things about Dunagiri Retreat would include its beautiful architecture (which is so close to nature, with the use of locally available stones and wood, and it feels as if every peach tree and rose...

We were looking for a quiet and peaceful place for a family holiday. Had zeroed down on a quaint little place in himachal , done our tentative booking there, and suddenly came across this website of Dunagiri. And it was as if we were destined to go there, everything started falling in place and finally on a nice day of... More

In my whole month in India, this magical retreat sanctuary was my very favorite part of the whole journey which was great to begin with. One can feel the love in every inch of the property and we were blessed with the most wonderful host Pandajit, who cooked for us the most divine cuisine, brought special tea to us first... More

We have visited a good number of hill stations around the Kumaon/ Garhwal region over the last few years..... Very few places visited thus far comes close to Dunagiri Retreat, for the sense of bliss that we experienced. The place clearly looks a labour of love of Mr.Piyush. He has developed the place more as a large home than a... More

Dunagiri was the last stop of a pilgrimage, made by me and a group of friends from Australia, to a number of sites sacred to SRF/YSS devotees. I cannot thank Piyush and his wonderful crew enough for taking care of us so completely, so sweetly. Dunagiri is simply appointed. Minimalist yet very comfortable. We were two to a room in... More

Visit to Dunagiri was a much awaited holiday for my family. After a long wait for nearly four months (booked as early as August 2012), we reached the retreat on December 31st.
