Nestled near Siswan Dam, on the quiet outskirts of Chandigarh, Antler Woods is a family-run bed-and-breakfast where the forest is not simply the view it is the experience.
Once a lodge belonging to our family, the home has been thoughtfully brought back to life by Mickey, Marina and Meher Sidhu. Marina designed its warm, landscaped spaces with an eye for comfort and character, while Meher helps shape the stay guests experience today. Mickey brings a lifelong love of the outdoors, developed over more than two decades on the rivers and in the wilds of the Himalayas, to the spirit of Antler Woods.
Surrounded by wildlife-rich woodland and alive with birdsong, this is a place to slow down, reconnect and breathe deeply. Spend unhurried evenings on the front porch, watch the forest from the upper terraces, or settle into the lower family suite for time together. Hikes, birdwatching and picnics offer easy ways to explore the landscape beyond the house.
Whether you come in search of solitude, nature, good food or a restorative break from city life, Antler Woods welcomes you into a home shaped by family, wilderness and genuine hospitality.
Our rooms are designed for a comfortable and relaxed stay, with modern amenities, inviting interiors, and beautiful natural surroundings.
Named after one of the birds found around the property, the Drongo Room is a spacious retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the forest. Campaign furniture by J and R Guram, family antiques, and repurposed wooden details create a warm, comfortable space surrounded by nature.
Inspired by the Jungle Fowl found in the surrounding forest, this bright and airy room opens onto a deep verandah with calming woodland views. Thoughtfully furnished with campaign furniture, family heirlooms, and repurposed old doors.
Named after Chandigarh’s state bird, the Hornbill Suite is a cozy one-bedroom retreat with a Southwestern feel. Built-in cement furniture, terracotta floors, a fireplace, and a living-dining space create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Ideal for small families looking for a relaxed, comfortable stay.

Once owned by Marina’s uncle, Antler Woods has been lovingly brought back into the family and reimagined as a home in the woods.
From the architecture and old furnishings to the gardens and large windows, every detail is intended to keep you close to the landscape.
Our family has spent over twenty years creating wilderness experiences through The Himalayan Outback. That spirit of warmth, care and respect for nature lives here too.
Join a Naturalist-led hike or birdwatching walk, or take a picnic into the woods. Siswan Dam is within walking distance.
Return for a bonfire, a candlelit dinner for two, or simply a long, quiet evening on the porch.
