Suma Nagaraj
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!
