Some journeys begin on a whim, over countless cups of chai and a shared love for travel and adventure. Such is the story of Manisha, Pallavi, and Sonia—three childhood friends who believed in dreams as much as they believed in each other. “What if we could create a space where people don’t just stay, but belong?” That thought transformed into iTvara Stay, a boutique hospitality brand that has redefined luxury and authenticity in some of India’s most picturesque destinations.
The name iTvara, derived from Sanskrit, means “quick or ready journey,” and the essence of that name perfectly encapsulates the brand’s philosophy: to inspire people to pack their bags, seize the moment, and embark on an experience that blends the charm of exploration with the comfort of home.
Their story began in 2021, against the scenic backdrop of Rishikesh, where the Garhwal mountains rise majestically and the Ganges hums a song of timeless serenity. It was here that the trio opened their first property—a stunning retreat that wasn’t just a place to rest but a canvas of experiences. Imagine waking up to sunlight dancing on the peaks, the crisp air carrying the scent of pines, and the quiet murmur of the river, inviting you to slow down and just be. That’s the promise iTvara delivers—homes that make you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
