Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Mountain Views Await at Hotel Pawan Regency!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the swirling, breathtaking, and sometimes delightfully messy world of Hotel Pawan Regency! And let me tell you, it’s been a ride. This isn’t just your average hotel review; we’re getting down and dirty, folks. This is the REAL DEAL.
The Promise: Escape to Paradise. Unbelievable Mountain Views Await. (And did they deliver? Oooooh boy, did they!)
Accessibility: The Good, the Okay, and the “Hmm…”
Look, let's be upfront: Hotel Pawan Regency offers facilities for disabled guests, and an elevator, that's a good start. But let's be honest, "facilities" can mean anything, right? I'm not personally reliant on a wheelchair, so I can't fully vouch for the extent of those facilities, but they're trying, and that's important. This isn't a fully-automated, super-accessible city hotel, but a mountain getaway - with that comes compromises so I will say, they're thinking about accessibility. Plus, it has an exterior corridor, which could be good or bad, depending your priorities!
The Digital Delights (and the Occasional Wi-Fi Hiccup):
Internet access – wireless, and Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah and pass the data! (Although, let's be real, mountains and Wi-Fi are mortal enemies sometimes… the Wi-Fi cut out one day, but hey, it was a good excuse to actually look at the view! Internet [LAN], Internet services These are very important to most people, and in times like these, you need it.
Things to Do – Ways to Relax: Oh, the Serenity! (and the Potential for Bliss)
Alright, where do I even begin? The Pool with view is breathtaking, oh-my-god, the view. Seriously, pictures don’t do it justice. You float there, with the mountains looming, and all your worries just… evaporate. Poof! Gone! They also have a Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, and a Swimming pool [outdoor]. I, personally, am a huge fan of combining all of these, in order. The Fitness center, Gym/fitness is solid. They even have a Foot bath, a Body scrub, and a Body wrap! which I was really hoping to experience myself, but I think I lost my nerve after checking out other patrons… I heard it's AMAZING!
The Cleanliness and Safety Gauntlet: Feeling Safe and (Mostly) Sound
Okay, this is where Pawan Regency really shines, especially in this new world. They clearly take hygiene seriously. The Anti-viral cleaning products, and they have rooms sanitized between stays, and daily disinfection in common areas. Rooms sanitized between stays (check!) And they do Staff trained in safety protocol which gives you peace of mind. The Hot water linen and laundry washing. Plus, all the basics were there, too: Hand sanitizer, first aid kit, and doctor/nurse on call, and a Sterilizing equipment.
I did, however, notice they offered the "Room sanitization opt-out available," which I thought was a bit odd. But I guess some people are super into the eco-friendliness thing? I for one appreciate the effort. Cashless payment service
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Buffets to Bliss (and the Occasional Hangry Moment)
The food… Ah, the food! Let's just say, I might have spent most of my paycheck at the restaurants! There's A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, and Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. The restaurant is AMAZING. The Poolside bar is practically mandatory, especially with that view.
I especially loved the international cuisine and the Asian breakfast. It's the best of both worlds!

They have Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.

I didn't bring any little ones with me, but they do have Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal, which is great for those of you wrangling the kiddos. I think it's an oasis for everyone.

My Epic Moment, My Own Personal Nirvana
Okay, I’m going to be completely honest here. It took me two days to find that pool. I got lost, I took a wrong turn, I may have even stumbled slightly (blame the altitude!). But when I finally found it… whoa. That Pool with view is the stuff of dreams. I could have stayed there forever. The water was the perfect temperature, the sun was warm, and the view of the mountains… well, let's just say I might have shed a tear or two of pure, unadulterated joy. I didn't do anything for a few hours and I think I was completely, truly, and blissfully at peace.
Quirks, Quirks, and More Quirks:
- The staff are incredibly friendly, but their English isn’t always perfect. Embrace the adventure! It makes for some hilarious conversations, and the warmth is genuine.
- There's a shrine… it's just… there!
- The mini bar is… well, it's a mini bar. Nothing super exciting, but it gets the job done.
- There's a lot of noise. Not that the hotel is particularly noisy but there is just so much nature surrounding it!
The Verdict: Should You Book This Mountain Getaway?

If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle, breathe in some fresh mountain air, and soak up some seriously stunning views, run, don't walk, to Hotel Pawan Regency.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is me wrangling my inner tourist monster and attempting to tame the Himalayas, all while hopefully finding a decent cup of chai. And, more importantly, surviving my stay at the Hotel Pawan Regency in Mcleodganj. God, pray for me.
Day 1: Arrival (and Existential Dread at 7,000 Feet)
- Morning (7:00 AM): Wake up in Delhi. Or, rather, drag myself out of bed. The flight to Dharamshala is at 9:00 but let's be honest, getting ANYWHERE on time in India is a Herculean task. I am chronically late myself. I swear, the clock in my brain is permanently set to "leisurely stroll."
- Mid-Morning (10:30 AM): Finally arrive in Dharamshala. The airport is TINY. Like, blink-and-you'll-miss-it tiny. Immediately feel a wave of "Oh my god, what have I done?" as I'm confronted with the reality of being THIS far from civilization, or at least passable wifi.
- Mid-Morning (11:00 AM-12:00PM):Taxi to Hotel Pawan Regency. The drive is… a visual feast. Terraced hillsides, prayer flags flapping in the wind, and what I assume is the Dhauladhar range looming in the background. Honestly, I'm too busy fighting off motion sickness and gawking to fully appreciate the scenery. Seriously, the driver is a maniac. My stomach is doing flips.
- Early Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Check in to Hotel Pawan Regency. The lobby is pleasant! The staff is welcoming. My room… has a view. A FREAKING GLORIOUS VIEW of the mountains. Okay, I can see why this place is "Best Mountain View Hotel". It is, in fact, breathtaking. Maybe this trip won't be a complete disaster. I have a brief moment of zen. Then the reality of unpacking my backpack hits me. This is going to suck.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Lunch. Hotel restaurant. I am starving. Order whatever looks least risky. Butter chicken (duh). It's… fine. Standard Indian fare. The view from the restaurant, however, is again, spectacular. I think I could sit here all day just gazing at snow-capped peaks. I decide to do precisely that. The constant feeling of being "watched" by the mountain range is unnerving but I try to embrace it. The solitude of a lone traveler hits me.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Wander around Mcleodganj market. Full disclosure: I am utterly overwhelmed. Crowds, smells, the sheer stuff on sale…It's a sensory overload. Buy a souvenir. A prayer wheel. I have no idea what to do with it, but it seems appropriate. Try to get a coffee. Apparently, "good coffee" is a myth in this town. Settle for a sugary, instant coffee instead. Regret it immediately.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Back to the hotel. Attempt to do some yoga on the balcony, but the wind is brutal. Give up and curl up in bed with a book. Try to get some sleep to acclimatize. The altitude is real. I feel like I'm breathing through a straw. Realize I've probably brought the wrong books. Novels about space and rocket science… why, oh why?
- Evening (8:00 PM Onward): Dinner at the hotel. Chicken momos. Actually pretty good. The view at night is even more magical, the lights of the town twinkling like scattered diamonds. Another instance of zen. Decide I can love this place.
Day 2: Spirituality, Chai, and a Near-Disaster in the Mountains
- Morning (6:00 AM): Wake up to the sound of… nothing. It’s glorious. The crisp mountain air is surprisingly refreshing. Try not to look at the mirror. My face is a mess. Feel a little guilty about the fact that I'm a fat person climbing a mountain.
- Mid-Morning (7:00 AM): Visit the Tsuglagkhang Complex (Dalai Lama Temple). This is where things get real. The chanting, the monks in their robes, the atmosphere… all of it is incredibly moving. I witness a prayer ceremony and get a little overwhelmed. Tears well up. I’m not even religious, but there’s something about the peace in this place that just gets to you. Decide to channel my inner Zen master.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM): Breakfast at a local cafe. Try to find that elusive "good coffee" again. Fail. Settle for more sugary instant coffee. Question all my life choices.
- Late Morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Hike to Bhagsu Waterfall. This is the trip's defining moment. The path starts out easy enough, but quickly becomes a steep, rocky climb. The air thins. My lungs burn. I am sweating profusely. This is where my fitness shortcomings become tragically apparent. I'm passed by a group of teenagers effortlessly skipping along. I hate them. But, the waterfall is gorgeous. The water is icy cold. I dip my toes in and feel a tiny moment of triumph.
- Early Afternoon (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Lunch near the waterfall. Momos again! (I'm a sucker).
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): THE NEAR-DISASTER. After lunch, there's a decision to go up higher. And I agree to it stupidly. The path back is treacherous. Very narrow. I am clumsy. Slip on a rock on the way down. It’s a near-death experience. My heart rate skyrockets. A friendly local helps me steady myself. I cling to him like a lifeline. I am terrified. I swear I can feel my life flash before my eyes. I vow to never ever leave a well-paved path again. And I vow to start my own blog about my own (mis)adventures.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Back to the hotel. Trauma-induced nap. This is exactly why I travel alone. No one to see the pathetic mess I am. Vow to never attempt challenging activities again.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Dinner in town. Try a Tibetan restaurant. The food is delicious, but I am still shaky. I order a massive plate of thukpa. Carb-loading – perfect for my current emotional state.
- Evening (8:00 PM Onward): Hot shower. (Finally!). Read. Vow to make the most of my last day.
Day 3: Farewell, Mountains (and maybe a little more chai)
- Morning (6:00 AM): Wake up. The sun is shining. I’m alive! Take a deep, mountain-fresh breath of air.
- Mid-Morning (7:00 AM): Gentle walk around the town. Take my time. Soak in the atmosphere. Try to absorb the peace I felt at the temple. Attempt to find that elusive "good coffee" one last time.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM): Breakfast at a different cafe. I find it. I finally find it! The coffee is passable. And that's all that matters.
- Mid-Morning/Early Afternoon (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Last-minute souvenir shopping. Buy more "stuff" I don't need. Wander through the market one last time.
- Early Afternoon (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM): One last lunch at the hotel restaurant. Embrace the view. This time, I don't even bother glancing at the menu. Order butter chicken one last time.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Pack. Mentally prepare for the long journey back to reality. Realize that I actually loved the mountains.
- Late Afternoon (3:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Check out of Hotel Pawan Regency. The staff waves goodbye. I feel a pang of sadness.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): The same terrifying taxi ride back to the airport. My stomach is doing flips the entire time.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Flight back to Delhi. The flight is uneventful, thankfully.
- Evening (8:00 PM Onward): Arrive back in Delhi. Back in the real world. I feel a little conflicted. I miss the mountains already, but am relieved to be back in civilization. This trip was a mess. It was beautiful. It was terrifying. And I wouldn'
