01 · THE BRIEF
him·mel /ˈhɪməl/ · German

sky; heaven.

A new stay in a remote valley, opened by entrepreneurs who love mountains. Guests book months ahead, from far away. The brand had to earn their trust before they arrived and feel as if it had always been part of Sissu.

i · PLACE

Rooted in Lahaul: stone, deodar pine, the waterfall and the Chandra river.

ii · PEOPLE

Warm and personal, like a stay run by a chef who cooks for you herself.

iii · TWO VOICES

A quiet stay and a loud, happy pizzeria, one family of marks.

02 · WHERE THE COLOURS CAME FROM

Himalayan painting, then the valley itself.

Ochre stone, deep lapis skies and the apricot glow on the peaks at dusk became the palette.
