Amrit Bhawan, a heritage retreat in Haridwar, has unveiled a series of new experiences designed to offer guests a deeper connection with the region's culture and landscape. These initiatives include a reimagined private ghat, immersive village visits in Pauri Garhwal, and a sunrise rose plucking experience, all aimed at shifting the focus from traditional rituals to a more holistic engagement with the area.
Central to this transformation is the restoration of Amrit Bhawan's private ghat, now featuring an open and accessible layout. This space encourages guests to enjoy unhurried moments by the river, whether through morning yoga or small gatherings, whilst maintaining the intimate feel of the eight-room retreat.
The experiences extend beyond the riverfront, offering a half-day journey into a village in Pauri Garhwal. Visitors can partake in shared meals with locals and enjoy walks that reveal stunning Himalayan views. Additionally, a collaboration with Perfume Tourism Kannauj offers a unique sunrise rose plucking experience, showcasing the journey of flowers from cultivation to distillation.
Within the retreat, a new seasonal menu highlights regional summer flavours, featuring dishes like buraansh sherbet and imli soda. Varun Bajaj, Founder of Amrit Bhawan, stated, “These experiences are not designed as additions, but as a way of re-engaging with the cultural and ecological context of a place.”
Through these Ekat Experiences, Amrit Bhawan aims to present a more contemplative narrative of Haridwar, encouraging visitors to engage with the region's everyday life and natural beauty
