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.
