Story

Tucked into the orchard-lined slopes of Kotgarh, Saroga Woods is the story of a life thoughtfully reimagined. Anuradha and Kartik once lived in Singapore, working in the fast-paced worlds of media and branding. In 2012, drawn by the quiet pull of the mountains, they left city life behind and built their home in the peaceful village of Saroga, overlooking the snow-capped Himalayas.

Here they founded Kotgarh Fruit Bageecha, crafting small-batch jams and preserves from the region’s finest fruits, keeping Himachal’s orchard heritage alive. Today, they welcome travellers into their warm hillside home, where mornings begin with valley views and breakfast often includes their handcrafted preserves. Their senior cat, Fatty, is part of the welcome committee, adding to the home’s easy, welcoming charm.
