jüSTa Birding Resort: A Tranquil Haven In Dharamshala

As you step into Dharamshala’s jüSTa Birding Resort and Spa, you are met with cosy interiors and a view that takes your breath away. The beauty of the hill town is only matched by the subtle luxury of the jüSTa Birding resort in Dharamshala.

This 5-star hotel in the stunning valley offers well-furnished rooms equipped with all facilities and a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire city. Interestingly, the name jüSTa Birding came to be due to the fact that you could easily spot rare bird species in the sky from the resort. The best spot is your private balconies attached to every room for a bird’s eye view of the city.

The Rooms

In the lap of nature, the rooms of jüSTa Birding feel as much a part of the lush valleys of Dharamshala as the peaks you see through your private patios. The spacious rooms in the hotel are all appointed with modern amenities for a pleasant experience. The plush furnishings and wooden structure lend an element of serenity to the property, where you can unwind after a day’s exploration of the picturesque city. 

“Our journey towards expanding from 22 rooms to 44 rooms is a testament to our dedication to creating an unforgettable, eco-friendly retreat for nature enthusiasts,” said Arvind Sharma, General Manager of jüSTa Birding Resort & Spa, Dharamshala.

“At jüSTa Birding Resort Dharamshala, our vision is simple yet profound: ‘Harmony with Nature, Luxury in Simplicity.’ We believe that the true essence of luxury lies in the immersive connection with the natural world, the tranquillity of the Himalayan landscape, and the serenity of bird-filled skies.
