About the host
Your host
Hello from the heart of the Himalayas! I’m Parminder, a dedicated mountaineer and the founder of VanVaas, rooted in the serene Soil Village near Manali. My adventures with Mountaineerz, from scaling the Andamans to exploring Broken Lake, sparked my love for nature’s wild beauty, leading me to create VanVaas and the Sounds of Soil movement. I thrive on trekking local trails, sharing farm-fresh stories, and connecting with travelers, all while championing reforestation. Hosting at VanVaas is my joy, offering guests a peaceful stay in our Orchard Retreat, Wilderness Eco Lodge, or Eco Lodge, with farm-sourced vegetarian meals (non-veg options at extra cost). I can’t wait to welcome you to this Himalayan sanctuary and share our sustainable vision!
Why they chose this property
This area, nestled just 14 km from Manali, captivated me with its lush orchards, glacial streams, and panoramic Himalayan views—a perfect harmony of nature that inspired VanVaas and the Sounds of Soil movement. The scene here is magical: misty mornings unveil apple groves swaying in the breeze, while the distant Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal ranges stand as silent guardians. The air carries the scent of pine and earth, and the quiet hum of village life blends with the trickle of streams.
What I enjoy most is the solitude and inspiration this landscape offers. Trekking the trails, I feel a deep connection to the mountains that shaped me, while the fertile land fuels our farm-fresh meals and reforestation efforts. It’s a place where nature heals and creativity thrives, making it the ideal home for VanVaas. I can’t wait for you to experience it too!

What makes this property unique
What makes VanVaas truly unique is its extraordinary location and isolation, nestled in Soil Village near Manali, where an orchard thrives beside a sparkling trout stream, all enveloped by a thick pine and oak forest. This secluded haven, just 14 km from Manali, offers a rare escape that sets it apart from bustling retreats. The Orchard Retreat, Wilderness Eco Lodge, and Eco Lodge blend seamlessly into this natural embrace, providing a serene backdrop for farm-fresh vegetarian meals (with non-veg options at our live grill). Inspired by my mountaineering roots and the Sounds of Soil vision, this tranquil setting—where the rustle of leaves and the stream’s gentle flow create a symphony—invites guests to unwind and reconnect, making VanVaas a one-of-a-kind Himalayan sanctuary.
