We had a wonderful stay at Shambhala Pawna Lakefront Villa. The property was beautiful, peaceful, and had an amazing lakefront setting — perfect for a relaxing getaway. A special mention to Rahul, the caretaker and chef, who was absolutely great throughout our stay. His hospitality, helpfulness, and service made the experience even better. The food was delicious, and everything was well taken care of. Overall, great service, excellent food, and a fantastic stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway near Pawna Lake.

We had a fantastic stay. Great staff and they took wonderful care of us. Rooms and bathrooms were cleaned daily and all our needs were catered to. We highly recommend this place. Hemantji — the chef made delicious dishes to order. Everything was tasty and we truly enjoyed the food made by him. They accommodated all our food restrictions (one of our family member is vegan). Prakash and Rahul, two of the staff catering to us, were exceptional. We were looked after really well. Highly recommend Stay Ananta.
