One man’s passion painted on a canvas. This is Te Aroha, Sumant Batra’s boutique resort in the lap of Himalayas. Dreamt, conceptualised, designed and created by Sumant – he took a sabbatical of five years at the peak of legal career and lived in Himalayas – Te Aroha is a colonial-style summer house converted into a boutique luxury hotel.
The property is a harmonious blend of traditional architecture and contemporary comforts. The original structure of the family summer house that once stood on the property has been successfully preserved to retain its original charm. Huge decks and terraces, antique furniture, massive glass windows with breathtaking views of the landscape and the high ceilinged lobby replete with carefully selected furniture by Sumant which can transport guests through time to the bygone elegance of the colonial era.
