About Us
The Story of Riversand
It started with a cup of chai on a rainy evening in Manali. We saw travelers arriving with heavy bags and tired eyes, looking not just for a room, but for a feeling.
At Riversand Hotels, we believe hospitality is an art—painted in the hues of the setting sun on the Dhauladhars, written in the melody of the Beas, and served hot on a tin plate with extra butter.
We are a collection of boutique stays spread across the Kullu valley. From the bustling cafes of Manali to the quiet orchards of Kullu, we offer a sanctuary for the modern nomad.
Our Philosophy:
Rooted: We employ locally, source regionally, and respect the land.
Rejuvenating: Wi-Fi that works, water that’s hot, and beds that hug you back.
Real: No pretence. Just honest hospitality.
Who We Are
Founded in 2025, Riversand Hotels began as a single guesthouse with a simple vision: to provide travelers with authentic Himalayan hospitality that feels like home. What started as a small family-run establishment has grown into Manali's premier hospitality group, managing three distinct properties that cater to different traveler needs while maintaining our core values of warmth, authenticity, and exceptional service.
Over the years, we've hosted thousands of guests from across India and around the world, each visit helping us refine our approach to create unforgettable mountain experiences. Our journey reflects the growth of Manali itself - from a quiet hill station to a world-class destination, while preserving the natural beauty and cultural richness that makes this region so special.
