Absolutely Royal treatment we got from the royal people Mr
Yatinder Chand and Mr Naginder Singh who are already successfully running the Koti
Resort in Shimla for almost two decades. Feel privileged to be the part of
group invited for the inauguration of the GAJ RETREAT on 5th of March in Manaswal, Hoshiyarpur in midst of Kikar Forest.
We boarded the Shatabadi from Delhi for Chandigarh and then
proceeded for Hoshiyarpur. It took two and half an hour to reach the GAJ
RETREAT. It was mesmerizing to see at one glance only. This Eco friendly Resort
& Spa has twenty six spacious rooms, some of them with private pools and
six Luxury Tents . Bamboo, Stones and Ropes are used extensively to make these
huts like rooms, surrounded by privy forest reserve in high octane exotic
location.
We were greeted by the team of Gaj with Tikka ceremony
followed by welcome drink, then we took a walk around . Had the refreshing
cocktails with mouthwatering delicacies like Dal Tadka, Bhindi Kurkuri, Paneer
Pasanda, Gobhi Gulistan Hara Moti, Mutton & Chicken gravy . Every dish was
well balanced with spices and aroma. Had the White Sauce Pasta from the live
Pasta Counter. Gaj Gurh Ka Halwa and
Doodhiya Ka Halwa were among the other desserts which I tried and personally
liked Gurh Ka Halwa.
Some local villagers were there to entertain us with their
daredevil stunts. On the onset of dusk,
it looked beautiful with Lantern lights around and then the Live Band from
Chandigarh performed for us at night. Enjoyed to the fullest with the food and
cocktails.
Thanks to the Team Gaj Retreat and Mr Rakesh Lamba form
Omega Hospitality for organizing this wonderful trip, a memorable experience !!
