Our Story
One fine morning, our family ventured into Tirthan Valley for a day trip, armed with a guide and a picnic basket. The Himalayas, our old friends, greeted us. When our driver paused for trout fishing details, we stepped out of the car, and our hearts never returned.
​
In retrospect, it feels surreal. We were typical city dwellers, focused on our daily jobs and making ends meet. In no time, The Forest Edge emerged—a boutique stay at the forest's edge, a haven for kindred spirits to meet, chat, or contemplate.
​
Constructed in traditional Himachali fashion, The Forest Edge blends timeless charm with modern amenities. Our mud-plastered rooms exude village ambiance, while well-appointed washrooms ensure comfort. And of course they had to be themed around our favourite books! The in house restaurant Once Upon a Diner, serves both traditional Himachali delights like Siddu and good old Dilli Waaley choley bhaturey and butter chicken.
​
Our dream was to create a boutique stay for friends, and it's evolved into much more. For neighbouring village children, it's a place to read, create art, and just be. For travellers, it is a place that helps them heal, rediscover self and connect with nature. Join us, become a part of this dream, and stay with us​​.
Who We
Are ...
Ajay Singh worked in the corporate sector for more than two decades before calling it quits in favour of being in the valley. It was a mad leap of faith to shift from the cut throat world of the private sector to a world where time strolls past while stopping to smell the roses. And he is glad he took the jump.
