Riverside lawns
La Perle River Resort
Two open lawns that run down to the Kosi, where the mandap is set with the water behind it and the hills catching the last light.

Weddings at Excel
Where Two Families Become One
In these hills, a wedding is not an event — it is a blessing witnessed by the river, the forest and everyone who loves you.
Shubh Vivah
Pheras under an open sky, blessings carried by the river
There is a reason our elders sought the Himalayas for auspicious beginnings. The air here is still. The Kosi keeps its own rhythm. When the pandit begins the mantras and the fire is lit, the forest seems to lean in and listen.
We build the mandap where the lawn meets the water. Haldi is smeared on forest lawns in the morning sun, mehendi is applied in shaded courtyards, and the baraat arrives down a long avenue of sal trees with the dhol echoing off the hills.
Two families arrive as guests and leave as one household. Our job is quiet and constant — to hold every ritual, every relative and every meal with care, so your family can simply be present.

A Family's Words
“We had three hundred relatives, four functions and one very nervous mother. By the second morning the staff knew which uncle took his tea without sugar. The pheras happened at sunrise by the river — nobody in our family has stopped talking about it since.”
