Persimmon Farmstead
Persimmon Farmstead is our flagship boutique hotel in Manali, at 14 Mile in Badgran on the Kullu–Manali highway, about 14 km before Manali town. Every room catches the morning sun and looks onto the mountains, and the in-house restaurant is the reason guests come back.
Why this home is the way it is
This is where Persimmon began. Two friends left corporate desks behind after the lockdowns, drove up to the Kullu valley, and decided to stay for good. The Farmstead is what they built first — timber chalets wrapped around an orchard, a minute's turn off the main highway and a world away from its noise.
The land does the heavy lifting. Rooms are angled to catch the first light, so in winter you wake up warm and sunlit with the ranges filling your window. Outside, apple and persimmon trees, a garden for the evening, and a kitchen garden the cooks raid every morning.
It is unfussy on purpose. The rooms are cosy rather than cavernous, the kitchen is a family kitchen rather than a hotel line — and both of those are the point. What you get instead is food made with care and hosts who notice when your chai is running low.

Questions about staying with us
Where is Persimmon Farmstead located?
Persimmon runs two homes near Manali: the original Farmstead at 14 Mile in Badgran (about 14 km before Manali town), and Persimmon Farmstead Shanag near Bahang, just above Old Manali on the road toward Solang.
Is Persimmon Farmstead pet friendly?
Yes. Both Persimmon homes welcome pets. The orchard lawns at Badgran and Shanag are especially good for dogs, with space to roam. Do let us know you're bringing a pet when you request your dates so we can put you in the right room.
What is Persimmon known for?
The food and the hosts. Guests consistently rate Persimmon among the best places to eat in the Manali area — everything is cooked in-house in a small farm kitchen, with fresh juice and produce from the orchard. The hosts are known for calling personally and treating guests like family.
How do I book a stay?
Pick your property, room and dates on our availability calendar and send a request to book. We confirm every request personally by WhatsApp or a call, usually within a few hours. You can also message us directly on WhatsApp at any point — all three numbers are on every page.
How far is Persimmon from Manali Mall Road?
It depends on the home. Shanag is closest at about 5 km, and the original Farmstead at Badgran is about 14 km south of Mall Road — a quiet, offbeat setting just a minute off the main highway.
Which airport is nearest to Persimmon Farmstead?
Kullu–Manali Airport at Bhuntar is the nearest, roughly 35 km from the Badgran Farmstead and about an hour's drive. Many guests instead fly to Chandigarh and drive up, or take an overnight Volvo from Delhi — our travel desk can arrange the pickup either way.
