Our story

Nine Years, Two Continents

We first crossed paths as two college students in Pune; he had no qualms improvising his way in front of hundreds, befriending everyone, and I was happiest with my nose buried in a book somewhere.

Somehow, we found our way into each other’s orbit — and discovered a shared enthusiasm for all things food, long stories, new places, the magic of nature and getting disproportionately excited about the same little things.

Nine years later, we’ve traded college corridors for another continent, and are now building careers and a life together. It turns out, the best adventures are the ones you didn’t quite see coming.

With the blessings of our parents

We joyfully invite you to our wedding

    These will operate from Dehradun Airport and the train station. Tell us in your RSVP if you would like a seat — final departure points and times will be shared closer to the dates.

01

Landour

Perched above Mussoorie, Landour retains the old-world charm of a bygone hill station, with its deodar forests, colonial cottages and — not to forget — the longtime seat of literary hero Ruskin Bond.

02

George Everest Base

A short climb through the hills brings you to George Everest Base, where sweeping Himalayan views bring you above the clouds. Pro tip: there’s nothing like it if you can time your arrival at the peak to match the sunset.

03

Mall Road

No hill station trip is complete without a trip to the Mall Road, the heart of the place! Grab a coffee, pick up some local treats, and take in the bustle of this quintessential hill-station promenade.

Q & A

If you’ve got questions, have a squiz at our Q&A section!

When should I RSVP by?

Please RSVP by 28th September so we can have a proper headcount. Cheers!

What’s the accessibility like at the venue?

It is well equipped with elevators and ramps for anyone who cannot access the stairs.

What shoes should I wear (or skip)?

Ladies, best to leave the stilettos for the indoor events! There’s plenty of grass and uneven ground outside, so go for block heels or sandals instead. We’d hate for anyone to wreck their shoes or roll an ankle.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Our haldi and wedding ceremony are outdoors, but our night parties will be indoors :)

What should I wear?

As long as you’re flaunting your Indian best, there’s no restriction on colours or outfits you choose to wear to any of the events!

Any weather advice?

Take this opportunity to get your trunk of woollens out and blow off the dust. Temperatures can range from 4–15 degrees. From our end, we’ll make sure you have plenty of opportunities to warm your hands and get cosy!

Is there parking available?

The hotel provides valet parking. We do encourage you to carpool to make the drive more fun though!

What gifts should I bring?

Absolutely no gifts please! We already have too much stuff and not enough shelf-space.

Got more questions?

Get in touch with our lovely planning team.
