When is it happening?

16^th to 22^nd March, 2025

Where is it happening?

At a yoga retreat and heritage homestay in the foothills of the Dhauladhar Range.
A place where the rustling of leaves and the serenity of the valley conjures music
to the ears. A place where artists, writers and poets have retreated to contemplate
the complexities of life. Andretta makes for an artists’ colony, and it is here that
you will paint prominent moments of your life, while adding colour to your future.
The valley is famed for its picture-perfect surroundings.

Venue

The Mirage, Andretta is a place where you will wake up to the singing of birds and the
pitter-patter of rain drops.

Ensconced amidst lush greenery at the foothills of the Dhauladhar Range, The Mirage is
the perfect amalgamation of elegance and rustic. The property is dotted with sprawling
gardens and boasts ample sit-outs for you to kick back and soak up the tranquil vibe of
Andretta. Nestled in a bamboo grove and looking out to the greenery is a beautiful
yogashala where you can start off your mornings. There is a heated swimming pool at
one part of the property and a steam room at another for you to unwind and rejuvenate
your souls.
