My wife and I spent 4 nights in this Club Mahindra resort from 29th Nov to 3rd Dec 2024. The property is very well located, being on a local height of 2300 mtr , giving excellent all round views of the Himalayas.. Early mornings we were able to catch the snow capped range extending from Kulu westward, though during daytime smog/ haze hid them from view. The resort itself is very comfortable, with good food and very friendly staff. Yet the site and its facilities alone are not enough to keep one busy, more so if walking up and down 80 metres to the road is not everyone's idea of an enjoyable activity. Like in any mountain resort, one has to walk a fair bit up and down to enjoy the sights and experience the mountain air. At our average age of 75 and altitudes over 2300 metres( 7000 feet plus) , more than half an hour walk and climbing more than 50 metres at a stretch was difficult. Yet we did manage to visit quite a few places nearby and enjoyed the pine and cedar forests of Mashobra and Naldhera. Overall the Pristine Peak Mahindrs resort is a good place to make as one's base while visiting Shimla area, avoiding the urban sprawl yet in easy access of good roads.
