Welcome to Ekam, Be at One With Yourself
Rejuvenate & Reconnect
A sanctuary nestled amidst the mountainous peaks of Himachal Pradesh, engulfed by lush green trees, Ekam means oneness. The villa bestows upon you the chance to be at one with your surroundings and at peace with yourself, reflecting the very reason it came into being.
The sight of waking up to tall pine trees, your taste buds tingling with ingredients sourced from around you, the soft touch of dew on your fingertips and the scent of wet earth when it rains, enhances your deep sense of appreciation for nature. It’s an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and you find yourself embedded in a space where you can be at peace.
Ekam Villa is surrounded by about 300 fruit, 100 pine and deodar trees and not one was cut down while building the villa. As we are one with nature, you will find that we are very much Farm to Table when it comes to food and follow ancient Indian agricultural methods to grow and harvest our produce. We are Vegetarian and serve Vegetarian food as well.
On the sprawling 1.8 acre property and 7000 sq ft house, you can choose to be anywhere and you will find yourself immersed in nature. It has a Kitchen, 2 Dining rooms, Drawing room with a Fireplace on the Ground floor and a TV Lounge and 4 spacious rooms on the 1st and 2nd floor accommodating upto 14 people, with of course plenty of balcony areas all around on both the levels. The house is eclectic in style and each room is well equipped for you to enjoy the view in its own unique ways.
The Owner’s Insights
” Ekam (Sanskrit for ‘oneness’) is my sanctuary, a beautiful place I built to escape the urbane lifestyle that catches up to us so often and so easily. I envisioned a peaceful abode I could curl up in with a good book and bask in the warm sunshine, forgetting all of my usual worries and mortal troubles; a tranquil haven where I could meditate and be at one with nature. The villa offers exactly that, and yet a lot more. For me, solitude has always been the destination and Ekam is where I’ve found it. I hope and wish the warmth of Ekam makes you feel closer to yourself. “

I think it would suffice to say that we could not only find a single fault with the property, but everything was actually better than we expected. The serenity and peace, the unbelievable architecture and interiors, the freshness of the linen, the thought behind all the open spaces and seating spaces, I could go on and on. A lot of care and thought has gone into this place.
What deserves special mention is the food. It was an entity in itself! My personal favourite was the wood fired pizza, but we absolutely loved everything we ordered and ate, at times, even re-heated and enjoyed.
I must also mention the genuinely brilliant service of all the 4 staff, such pleasant people, always ready to help with a smile!
In current times, we could have asked for nothing better than a place like this and this property surpassed all our expectations.
I hope you will accept our sincere gratitude for making this experience a part of of our memories.

It is a beautiful, beautiful place with the most soothing and visually pleasing scenery/ies in the vicinity of the villa.
The perfect place if you’re looking for a break from the hassles of life, truly.
Even the food tasted so incredible.
I’ve been to a lot of resorts and hotels in the mountains but the sort of relief and peace Ekam offers is genuinely incomparable. We had absolutely no complaints, and instead, did not want to leave it in the first place.
All of us had a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to come back again

—True to its name Ekam is one of a kind . A blend of luxury with a warmth of a house. Nestled aloofly over a hill it has a breathtaking view of the hills and has the most enchanting sunsets . The trek route takes you right into the deodar…

—We visited Ekam Villa, Chail as a group of 8. We booked the entire main house and our experience deserves a review. Though we're physically back home after spending 4 days at Ekam, mentally we are still there, and have left behind a part of us along with some beautiful memories. I think it would suffice to say that we could not only find a single fault with the property, but everything was actually better than we expected. The serenity and peace, the unbelievable architecture and interiors, the freshness of the linen, the thought behind all the open spaces and seating spaces, I could go on and on.

— We traveled from Delhi as a 3 familes in Oct 2020 to get a break from the Covid lockdown. Ekam Villa is straight out of a storybook in a quiet part of Chail and as soon as you enter the property you are transported to the pages of an English classic. The villa is well appointed and is warm & welcoming with each room having an unique charm. During the 7 days we were there we didn't feel the need to step out and settled down to soak in the property. The kids had ample space to play and with mini treks around the hilltop where it is located, afternoon cocktails and evening bonfires the holiday was filled with stories and memorable moments. A large part of this great experience was thanks to the staff who attended every request with a smile, made you feel at home and Arvind the cook who whipped up amazing food across different cuisines everyday and made finger-licking desserts that made us look forward to the next meal.
