AltSpace - A Co-working and Co-living Space in Himalayas

Excellent for family outing. Exclusive 3 bedrooms (one in the attic)

This place is special. For a person who is always restless and keeps running to escape the blues, this place felt like home. I have stayed here twice and both the time, the stay was a wonderful experience

Amazing workspace! Super flexible timings and super comfy seating. The vibe is so chill and productive. Highly recommend for startups and freelancers alike—totally worth it!

Loved my stay

I first came to this place for the AI Launchpad. Within the first week I fell in this love this place and the folks who run the campus. By now, I've spent close to 4 months here (2 visits in + many more to come). This place is truly a home away from home. The food is great, the rooms are nice and the co-working is just lovely. Whether you’re seeking peaceful, calm vibes, great company to explore Dharamshala with, or a quiet, focused place to work from, this is it.

Over the past year, we’ve stayed in more than 100 hotels, and this place is truly one of our favorites in Northern India. 🌿🧘‍♀️1. The atmosphere is incredibly close to nature — peaceful, full of greenery and flowers, with a spacious area perfect for meditation, yoga, and workouts. 🫂2. The hosts and the staff are exceptionally warm and welcoming. Such wonderful people — it was a pleasure meeting everyone. 🥗3. The food was outstanding. A big thank-you to the chef — every day he created culinary masterpieces and constantly surprised us. It’s also very convenient to have a fixed schedule and a buffet where you can choose what you want and how much you want. ☕️4. This is the only place in many months of traveling where I could finally enjoy a really good cappuccino from a proper coffee machine. Conclusion: this is a wonderful place for both work and relaxation, and a space where you can meet amazing people. Wishing you prosperity and success 🤗

imo best place in the Himalayas for workation. Good vibes, perfect location, great folks, good food. I came here once for a ai launchpad, and now this has became my goto place in Dharamshala.

If you ever want to do a workaction or just want a place to disconnect for a while, there might be no better place than alt space!! Beautiful property, very comfortable with amazing people and staff!! Can't recommend this enough

Great co living space

The 2 months that I spent here, will be a lifetime memory for me. 100/10 I recommend this place.

It is perhaps an evolutionary need to want to belong. I may have finally found a place that suits my temperament. Altspace, off Dharamshala, is located in a village called Thehr (halt/stop). As if offering poetic justice, this place works the magic of “halting” life’s cares and worries, and allows one to truly connect with oneself. Beyond that, conversation starters with fellow like-minded co-inhabitants of Altspace soon develops into a comforting camaraderie and exploring places and eating good food together. The co-working space boasts of views — the valley on one side and the mountains on the other. Sheets of mist, pouring rains, lovely, breeze, walking on dewy grass in the mornings — everything in and around Altspace offers the much-needed respite from city life, crowd and noise. I waited to write this review more than two months after my visit. And I still feel the same way, and will return to stay at Altspace again — for the safety and the connection it offers and for the quiet that has made home within. A big thank you to the creators of Altspace.

I had a great time staying here. The people are really friendly and helpful, which makes it easy to feel at home. The vibe is relaxed and positive, perfect for getting work done or just hanging out. I loved the sense of community—it’s easy to meet interesting people and make new friends. The views from the space are amazing and made my days better. Plus, the food was tasty and fresh. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a comfortable and fun coworking and coliving

I found out about Alt Space through a friend and initially came here just for a week—but I ended up staying much longer. I never imagined this place would offer me so much. There’s something truly healing about the atmosphere here. The open spaces, with their calming views, create the perfect environment to work, read, or simply slow down. It’s easy to feel an instant connection—with nature, with peace, and most importantly, with yourself. What made the experience even better was the staff—they’re incredibly helpful, warm, and polite, always making sure you feel comfortable and at home. Alt Space isn’t just a location—it’s an experience that stays with you.

Had an incredible experience at Altspace ❤️ Spent so much quality time with the people staying here playing and learning new board games, sharing coffee, working together, going to cafés and long walks. Unforgettable experience! Stay is comfortable, food is homely, people are friendly and mountains are mighty! Cannot wait to visit here again!

On a whim, I chose to stay at AltSpace in Dharamshala, and it turned out to be the best decision I made for my writing life. As spartan and monastic as the property is, there are no amenities missing for a comfortable stay. Their community is thoughtfully curated, so chances are very high you will meet people who will become friends - I made several during my stay. Sylvan surroundings to walk in, a view of the majestic Dhauladhar range from the co-working area, and a co-working space that has been designed with productivity as its core focus. I carved out two different perches for my writing practice and found the ink flowing effortlessly. Generated new material, did deep revision work on old material, and have come back fully charged and inspired. One of the few places in the world I so deeply connected with, which is how I know I will return at some point. Thank you, team AltSpace. You will always be one of my fondest memories. I will be back!

Spent 1-month in altspace dharamshala Wanted to escape summer & work from good weather & it was a perfect place, with good weather, nature everywhere around & food taken care of, I was able to fully focus on the work. Also joined nearby gym & was able to follow my routine & get work done

AltSpace: It offers a perfect mix of peaceful solitude and warm community vibes. The atmosphere feels homely, the people are kind and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. Ideal for remote work with great WiFi, cozy workspaces, and stunning mountain views. Whether you're looking to focus, connect, or just breathe—AltSpace has it all.

AltSpace is paradise! The space, the people you get to meet, the view and oh, the DOGS <3 Safe for solo female travellers. Few nice cafes close by (hot chocolate at Terracotta is great). Ambuj and Prashant constantly strive to make you feel at home. This is my go-to place every time I visit Dharamshala.

I've been coming here every day since I discovered it over one month ago. The staff are most helpful, the cooks make delicious Indian food, and the views are amazing!

I booked Altspace for a week and turns out it was too less. Prashant, Ankit and Ambuj all have been great hosts. It's one of those places where you feel right at home — great rooms, excellent cook (Akashji), excellent views, coworking space, meeting cabin with the best view with high speed internet. You don't need anything else. A place I'd love to tell everyone about, but gatekeep at the same time. If you're a solo female traveler or a digital nomad worker, this is the place to be. ⛰

Peaceful 🥹💙✌🏻

Stayed at AltSpace for two weeks in January 2025 and I wanted to thank the wonderful team at the stay for the homely feeling and warm hospitality extended. The rooms are impeccable yet minimalistic with work-desk. The workspaces are modern, spacious, and well-equipped, making it the perfect environment to be productive. The high-speed internet was reliable, and the ergonomic chairs made long hours of work comfortable. There is lot of open spaces at the stay and the views of snow-capped Dhauladhar mountain range from the property is serene. There are also plenty of quiet zones if you need to take breaks and be on your own. The community here is incredible—super friendly and collaborative. I met several like-minded professionals, and the networking opportunities were great. The review won't be complete without the special mention of all the support and kitchen staff members who work hard with love and affection to make homely and delicious meals that keeps us going. Overall, my stay was productive and enjoyable, and I highly recommend this co-working space to anyone looking for a flexible and inspiring place to work. Cheers to Prashant and Ambuj. Keep up the great work. See you folks soon!

I initially booked my stay at AltSpace for one month and ended up staying for 2 months. If there could be a word depicting when reality exceeds expectations, AltSpace just might be it. I had the most amazing time at AltSpace. I met the community of warm-hearted individuals from all walks of life and ended up making lifelong connections. AltSpace offers delicious homely food, 3 lovely dogs, breathtaking sunsets amidst Dhauladhar range, great AQI, and the unbeatable hospitality of Ambuj, the community manager who doubles as your guide to falling in love with Dharamshala and its food scene (which is of gold standard btw). The campus is huge for you to play, walk around and explore. Rooms are clean, spacious with wifi connectivity across the campus. And the co-working space is just unmatched - better than anything that I have seen anywhere so far. If you’re considering exploring the lesser-seen side of Himachal, I’d recommend AltSpace a thousand percent. It’s a place that will leave you with cherished memories and a longing to return :)

My friend recommended this place in Dharmashala and i booked it for a week. This is one of the best coworking spaces in Himachal. The vibe of this place is incredible. In a peaceful area and away from the main city, this place is surrounded by mountains and farming fields. They provide 3 meals a day and the food is amazing as home cooked food. Special thanks to Nikhil bhai for his amazing cooking and sweet nature. Coming to the community manager Ambuj, he became my friend the moment he met me and gave me the property tour. He made sure the experience has to be outstanding not just at Altspace but wherever you are going in Dharamshala. His recommendations are amazing around Dharamshala and a nice human being you would want to be around. I've had an amazing time with him at altspace and local eateries too. Last but not the least, Dudo ( the pet dog at the property), is my daily breakfast buddy. Every morning I used to have breakfast in the garden area with Dudo and Mountains. The most sweetest boy at Altspace. The rooms are neat and clean and so the entire property. So if you are looking for a space in himachal where you can find peace, people and work from there, Altspace has to be the first choice.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Alt Space and wanted to share my thoughts on this unique and enriching experience. First and foremost, the location and surroundings are truly exceptional. Nestled in an idyllic area, the breathtaking views were a constant delight, making each day a visual treat. The abundance of marginal space, which is rare to find in India, provided a liberating feeling, enhancing the overall sense of comfort. The nearby walks were a perfect way to unwind and take in the natural beauty. Connectivity is often a concern in remote areas, but I was pleasantly surprised by the very fast Internet speed. Whether for work or leisure, it surpassed my expectations, ensuring I could stay connected without any interruptions. The people, vibe, and community truly added to the experience, creating a warm and welcoming environment. A special shoutout to the community manager, Ambuj, whose friendliness and helpfulness not only made my stay smoother but also turned him into a friend. The food offered was certainly good. Homely and well-balanced, it managed to satisfy without feeling overly rich or restaurant-y, which meant I could enjoy it for a month or more without getting bored. It struck the right note in terms of taste and variety, catering to the needs of diverse palates. Additionally, the availability of daily needs within the surrounding area, although not exceptional, was adequate enough to meet everyday requirements. Another highlight was the supportive nature of other residents working from there. Their camaraderie and willingness to help created a strong sense of community, making them true assets to the co-living space. However, there are areas where Alt Space could benefit from some improvements. In-room amenities, especially in the higher-priced rooms, could use a bit more attention to detail. Simple yet essential items like a kettle and water bottles upon arrival would instantly elevate the guest experience. Communication about ongoing construction activities during my stay could have been more transparent. An upfront heads-up on such activities is crucial as it helps manage expectations and plan accordingly. Lastly, I noticed that the standard operating procedures (SOP) for in-room checks and cleaning could be refined. A more rigorous approach to maintaining cleanliness and conducting regular checks would greatly enhance the overall comfort and satisfaction. Despite these areas for improvement, my overall experience at Alt Space was overwhelmingly positive. The serene locale, vibrant community, and thoughtful management truly make it a standout choice. With a few tweaks, it has the potential to offer an even more exceptional living experience. Thank you, Alt Space, for a memorable stay. I look forward to seeing the continued growth and enhancements in the future.

One of the best place in Dharmshala to connect with nature, mountains, people and animals. You can feel the love and care this place is built with. I would highly recommend staying at this place for anyone hoping to reduce stress and anxiety. Fantastic food and enough space to just isolate yourself if you don't feel like socialising. There are plenty of cafes around in case you want a close view of the mountains and places to dip your toe in water streams. Thank you Prashant and team, you guys are amazing.

Came here for 2 weeks , ended up staying for 2 months. Its a beautiful place with lots of open space. Cherry on top are the people hosting this place. They are genuine, grounded and go an extra mile to make you feel belonged. It is also super safe for solo women travellers. Loved my stay here.

They took 4 days to say whether or not we were accepted, and only said that we were when I messaged them on Instagram and my wife E-mailed them. Once they told us we were accepted, they asked us when we wanted to show up and for how long. We told them the 2nd, for visa reasons, and bought tickets to India from Cambodia. Only once we'd bought the tickets did they tell us they only had room starting on the 12th. When we asked them if there was another nearby hostel or the like we could stay at, they said it wasn't their problem and that if we wanted to stay at AltSpaced we had to pay them now & pay them 18% more than the listed price on their website. This would bring the cost of a month's stay to over 1000 US Dollars. I am not going to pay over 1000 US Dollars to be in rural India; one of the charms of rural India is that it is cheap, supposedly. Anyways, for all I know it's a very nice facility. But I will not be going to it. I reccomemd that the people who run this place be much much clearer on their website about costs and room availability. EDIT: after I posted this review, the owner reached out to me on Instagram and said that the 18% add-on would be waved, and they'd find accommodation for me, if I would just take down this review. I told him I was no longer interested in being a customer; he has sent me around (not sure of precise number) five messages since then begging me to take down this review. In the ensuing discussion, they revealed that their statement on their website that implies that they have been in operation for 7 years is misleading; they have been in operation for two. I should note that the owner claims that not including the GST tax (supposedly the source of the 18% fee? I don't see why I am expected to pay their taxes, but okay) in the cost of things is standard in India; I don't know enough about India to comment on this.

It is one of the most amazing property overall I have been to. It is intended for working people as it has great Wifi, best working space with lush green and Dhauladhar ranges 🏔️ views. Along with that a full size table tennis 🏓 table to enjoy. There are 3 super cute 🐕 which could be therapy to people who love dogs. And most important one, Prashant is a host who is available throughout and would make you feel like part of the place. He and his team is the best hosting people l have seen by far. I recommend this place as a must if you enjoy places with workation setup and peaceful surroundings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The place is very calm, clean, modern, and is great for professional remote working travellers. The host is communicative and supremely helpful. The decor was carefully selected to bring a very creative atmosphere. Absolutely loved it!

Nestled amidst farms that stretch as far as the eye can see, AltSpace was a delightful escape for me. The tranquil surroundings, coupled with communal warmth and fresh homemade food, made it even better. The rooms are spacious, and I love that they are flooded with natural light, thanks to the abundance of windows. The presence of three beautiful dogs, amazing chai, and charming nooks tucked away makes me want to go back! Would 10/10 recommend!

This place is beyond luxury. The founders practically live here, work from here and have their meals with the guests. So this does not feel like a commercial place. It is an extension of their homes. They chose this location after spending several years working from these mountains. And that shows, because it is perfect. If you have attempted being a digital nomad, you would appreciate the details that have been taken care of. Even the design of the place has been done by one of them, a professional architect. I have worked remotely from 10 countries, and this is the most well done space I have come across. The material used in construction seamlessly blends with the nature around. Windows with spectacular views have been put at all the right places across rooms and the common spaces, letting ample natural light trickle in. During my stay here, I was able to break through some creative blocks and make progress on all those parts of my work that felt stuck. Money cannot buy what is on offer here. Gratitude.

Amazing place, stories, people, and food. :)

I was instantly mesmerised when I first looked at the property photos, and knew the owners did a great job with the structure and spent good money. Little did I know how the thing came into existence and that so much was invested, which money just couldn't buy. It's not your run-of-the-mill hotel or hostel, and hits way different. The place is very close to how you'd feel in your own home, had it been on the foothills of the Himalayas. That's largely because the owners, a bunch of amazing guys, make you feel nothing less than lifelong buddies. They literally take "Atithi Devo Bhava" to the Himalayan level. Right from sanitised cozy rooms to sumptuous healthy meals, from lively workstations with breathtaking views to evening warm bonfires intertwining with the cool breeze, you're in for a treat. You need atleast 2-3 days to just explore around the campus. And the best part- it's pretty affordable for almost everybody. Do check it out, and Bon Voyage! Ps- The photos aren't really justifying the truth.

Best best place to stay at for your workation/vacation anything. You will fall in love with the place once you enter and won’t feel like coming out. Amazing story behind this place. Lovedddddd itttt.

I spent a week at AltSpace, and it was a life-changing experience for me. Time actually moves slowly when you are in the mountains, and the vibe of the place is simply amazing. If you are a remote worker, this is the best place to be; you can hang out with like-minded folks and, at the same time, get the productivity boost that you need Rooms:- 10/10 CoWorking Place :- 10/10 Vibe:- 100/10 Food:- 1000/10 You can play volleyball , badminton, go lie down in the open grass or have campfires at night . The food is epic ❤️ and you would be suprised to know that most of the people cooking the food are also developers in their part time . Last but not least, if you get time, talk to the founders of this place - the most humble people I have ever met in my life. They have an amazing backstory of how they built this place with their own hands

I think about everything in terms of pros and cons but this place doesn't have any cons. All pros. Accessibility: Easy! Reach Kangra/ Dharamshala and get here in a cab costing less than Rs. 300 Hosts: Amazing! Such humble people with great accomplishments are very hard to find. Ashik, Prashant, Ankit, Suraj, and the whold Altspace team is amazing. Price: Amazing again. You won't get a hostel in the price that they ask for all including stay. Calm, Peaceful, Clean, and Beautiful Place built with passion and heart. I'll be visiting this place again with friends sometime soon. Love Altspace and the AltCampus.

I stayed in AltSpace for more than a month and I wish I could stay longer if not because of my visa validity. This place made us fall in love with the area and open my eyes to a different side of India. We even considering to settled here! Located in a strategic place with views directly to mountains, It's really a beautiful scenery to see every single day especially in the morning and sunset. I like the concept of whole building which made from mud because it feels earthy and homey. Room is really spacious for me and my boyfriend, my giant suitcase, his backpack and our others bags, with there is still spaces to run around. Temperature inside the room is always warmer from outside which is great because we were there on November. The place is so clean. Co-working space is perfect with backup power and reliable internet connection. No problem with water supply either. They provide 3 times meal and you can always tell them if you want something different. There's also a small kitchen in the common room for you to make coffee, tea, noodles and easy cook for yourself. AltSpace is a fascinating place to stay for even longer period, all the people there are so friendly and kind. If there's something wrong, they listen and rectify. There are also 3 adorable dogs which we love so much and adding another reason to go back there. I'll come again to AltSpace in a heartbeat!

A Place where you forget the outer world and the hosts are such amazing people. It was good experience to host yesterday’s campfire musical evening met so many professionals from different parts of India❤️❤️❤️ will attend all future events

I had a very wonderful experience here and my stay was great. 1. Located with a nice mountain views and on a easily accessible road. 2 People who manages the hostel are are friendly and well versed. 3. Dorms are clean, cozy and spacious.

Zero stars. Prashant, the owner, is the most pretentious, rudest, ill-mannered person I have ever met in my life. He wasted my time and energy. If the owner behaves like this to a guest, well... don't need to say anything else. No wonder there are just 8 reviews on Google and 4 on Facebook despite running for three years - all of the reviews being good - speaking of filtering out the real reviews. Definitely something fishy is going on here. Thankfully, I got to know about it beforehand.

Away from the hustle bustle of the town, situated in the lap of gigantic mountains, AltSpace is my home away from home. I have been here for a month now and have enjoyed every bit of it. One window of my room opens to majestic mountains and the other window opens to vast green fields. Wifi is blazing fast and there is a power backup as well. We play games like Table tennis, Volley ball, and many other indoor games after work. I have made life long friends here. Not to mention the taste of food which is really delicious. The atmosphere is very vibrant here. I would totally recommend this place for remote workers looking for a fall back in the lap of mountains at an affordable pricing and who want to be around really great people.

I have been living and working at Altspace for the past 3 months and my experience has been fantastic so far. It’s everything that I expected from a coworking space and more. The place offers fast internet speeds with multiple backup lines, so internet has never been an issue. There’s a mess hall, right inside the space, so you get homely food, 3 times a day. The place is well-designed to suit productivity with a couple of dedicated co-working rooms, which feature comfortable tables and chairs, with bright lights. Finally, the best part about Altspace is the amount of open space that you get to walk around and recharge when you are burnt out from work. If you are looking for a space to boost your productivity or even network with fellow coworkers, I would highly recommend Altspace.

A beautiful space located in the sublime Khaniyara valley. It is set amidst fields and has all amenities needed for a comfortable stay - fast and stable internet, meals, well-equipped rooms, recreational spaces, and lovely people! It's close to Dharamshala, Mcleodganj, and Dharamkot (just a taxi ride away) and makes for an excellent workation option in Himachal. I stayed here for two weeks and can't wait to go back! Highly recommend AltSpace if you're looking to escape to the mountains.
