Our stay at Wildflower Hall was simply magical. The location was stunning, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Himalayas, and the ambiance was luxurious. The staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel like royalty throughout our honeymoon. However, the dining options were limited as there's only one restaurant, which could be repetitive for longer stays. Overall, it was excellent value for money, given the quality of the service and the beautiful setting.
