Soyl Mansion embraced me with warmth and openness, as Sid and Vishakha carry a calm, creative energy that draws you in to connect with the flow of life at Soyl. I spent my time in the kitchen with the wonderful Auntie, Ankush, Sunita, and Bhavna. What started as simple tasks turned into moments of spontaneous conversation, shared joy, and a lot of dancing while making out-of-this-world dishes from Auntie's magnifique recipes! I also had a chance to meet Uncle, who's kind and welcoming. Soyl isn't just a place—it's a feeling. I'm deeply grateful for the time I spent there. Until next time.

My time at Soyl was so much more than just volunteering, it was an all-encompassing, soul-nourishing experience. I was welcomed and guided by Sid and Vishakha, two wild and beautiful souls with so much to share. I got to embrace the Pahari way of living by following the gentle lead of Sunita, Bhavna, and Ankush. The most delicious food came from their hands, and helping out in the kitchen, their turf, became an adventure of its own. I also got to hang out with Harshit and Sid's family, who were incredibly kind and fun to be around. I'm looking forward to a future where our paths cross again!

Soyl Mansion and Village was a great experience. Siddarth is quite a dynamic and intelligent individual, and his staff, family, and friends are awesome as well. Just be prepared to be up in the mountains, travelers!

I absolutely loved my stay with Sid at the mansion, I met so many cool people, Sid is the kind of guy that attracts a beautiful crowd from all walks of life. I had lots of fun working alongside Sudheer and Surendra who make incredible food and are very dedicated workers. The guests were awesome, I had so much fun and can't wait to see Harshit and Vishaka again too. I feel that I am apart of a family away from home here, I can't wait for you lot to come and visit me back in Australia. I'm sure I'll see you guys around very soon haha. 🫶🫶
