Cavarana

We are up here at Cavarana, tucked inside the Banon Resorts on Club House Road. It’s a quiet spot in Manali, specifically in the New Hope Orchards area where you can see the trees change with the seasons. Most people find us when they are heading up toward the club house or just walking around the orchard paths. The air is always a bit cooler here than in the main town area. We’ve been running things for a while now, just keeping the place going for whoever stops by. It isn’t a huge operation, but we stay busy enough with travelers and locals who know the way. The 175131 zip code covers a lot of ground, but this specific corner feels different because of the resort grounds and the greenery. Sometimes the clouds come right down into the yard. We spend a lot of time just making sure everything is ready for the day. It’s mostly about the location and being near the old orchards. People usually come in after a long walk. We don’t do anything too fancy, just the regular work that comes with being part of a place like this. There’s always something to fix or a garden area to look after. It’s just us here, making sure the gates are open and the lights are on when they need to be. You get used to the quiet after a while. It's a steady way to spend the days in Manali.
