 After
a very successful and encouraging response at the Maha Kumbh Mela
(2001), we at Leisure Hotels made a firm decision to explore
business opportunities on the spiritual tourism circuit. Thus began
the task of identifying campsites around the four holy shrines (Chardhams),
which by no means has been an easy one.
The Char Dham Yatra Camps are the most innovative
and much required venture in the spiritual tourism industry. Every
year millions of people make it to these four shrines set in the
heart of Devbhoomi, Garwal. And we at Leisure Hotels are committed
to providing travelers on the Chardham circuits a quality
accommodation, activity and F&B facility in some of the most
beautifully made and maintained hotel in Char Dham.
