Located at an elevation marked as Point 7707, approximately 700 metres from the Mall Road and about 500 metres from the Jakhu Temple, jüSTa Darkwood Lodge & Spa, is housed in a late-19th-century residence that once served as the home of a British engineer associated with the development of Shimla’s early water supply infrastructure, including the Seog reservoir and its catchment area. The heritage structure has been carefully restored to meet contemporary hospitality requirements while retaining the architectural character of a traditional hill-station residence. The property is set within a cedar forest and is connected to an existing forest trail that leads towards the Seog Bagh area via Sanjauli and Jakhu, offering a nature-based walking experience linked to the site’s historical context.Located at an elevation marked as Point 7707, approximately 700 metres from the Mall Road and about 500 metres from the Jakhu Temple, jüSTa Darkwood Lodge & Spa, is housed in a late-19th-century residence that once served as the home of a British engineer associated with the development of Shimla’s early water supply infrastructure, including the Seog reservoir and its catchment area.
