GAJ RETREAT ...A LUXURY ECO RESORT & SPA in midst of Kikar Forest in Hoshiyarpur, Punjab

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 !!
