Set
in a sprawling kinnow orchard, Citrus County promises to be a warm,
homely and luxurious getaway that will show you a side of India that
the average tourist rarely gets to experience.
Location :
Hoshiarpur is a small and a quiet town in the Doaba
region of Punjab. Located in the lap of the Shiwalik range, it is
considered to be the greenest of the districts within the state. A
large number of people from this region have settled abroad. Their
remittances have in turn helped the area to prosper, making it
arguably one of the most prosperous in Punjab. The handicrafts from
Hoshiarpur too are very popular and are exported to various countries.
Another well known aspect of Hoshiarpur are its world-reknowned
astrologers. The Bhrigu Pandits have been working to predict people's
future based on the script of Brigu Sanghita for generations.
The closest international airports are at Amritsar and New Delhi. The
closest domestic airports are at Amritsar and Chandigarh.
The closest train stations are at Phagwara, Chandigarh and Jallandhar.
Around hoshiarpur guests have
an option to go to Amritsar or to Anandpur Sahib for the day to
experience the sikh history.
Accommodation
Citrus County offers 4
guest suites within the house and 6 luxury tents that ensure the
privacy and comfort of home.
Each spacious room
within the house features views of either the pool or the lush garden.
The bedrooms each have a King Sized bed, an attached private bathroom
and some sitting space both within the bedrooms and in a lobby
immediately outside the rooms. Each of the fully air-conditioned rooms
are equipped with a TV, wireless broadband internet and oil heaters.
The tents are similarly equipped, including attached bathrooms,
however to keep the true spirit of tented accommodation alive we have
opted not to install televisions in the tents.
The bathrooms are large, clean and have running hot and cold water as
well as rain showers.
Citrus County has its own power backup.
Facilities :
Some of the facilities
available to all our guests include:
Citrus Café in the front lawn. A cozy little tent where you can get
your choice of light snacks and beverages served throughout the day.
Food
:
All the meals are
prepared in the family kitchen using fresh organic vegetables and age
old recipes. You will get to sample a lot of the local cuisine, spiced
to suit the preferences of our guests. House specialties include
mutton curry, chicken achari, tandoori fish and authentic biryani. The
vegetarians among our guests will be able savour a variety of
delicately flavoured paneer dishes, such as Paneer Makhani, Kadhai
Paneer and Malai Kofta. Punjabi meals are family affairs, which for
our guests, essentially means that dining and refreshments will be
served in a common area. Chhota hazari is the one exception, where a
cup of tea/coffee in bed is almost a requirement.
Our kitchen does not cater to independent room serviced meals.
Activities :
Activities on the property itself
- Feel free to ask us for a guided
walk through the farm and even join us picking some fruit during the
season (November through February).
- Within the main house there is
opportunity to curl up with a book by a cosy traditional fireplace.
- While for those more actively
inclined there is a swimming pool and table tennis.
- In the evenings we'll have a
citrus-wood bonfire around which meals can be served, camp songs
sung or you can just soak in the ambience.
- You can also try your hand at some
Bhangra, a typical Punjabi folk dance. We can arrange a performance
and lessons on request.
Safari :
One of the highlights of
your stay with us is a chance to go on a safari through one of
Punjab's few protected forests. Home to fauna such as monkeys,
rabbits, sambar, wild boar, blue bull, barking deer and the occasional
panther. This is an opportunity you're not going to get anywhere else.
Yoga :
Revaa Yoga is now being
offered in the tranquil setting of citrus county in the heart of
nature and culture in Punjab. This Holistic holiday package helps you

of life and the natural appeal at citrus county sets perfect tone for

Immerse yourself in the
spirit of relaxation as your holiday progresses with a synchronized
sense of balance and relaxation in everything that you experience. The
idea of relaxing in nature on a holiday is magnified many folds as you

poolside, in the orchard, by a stream, in the yard. We help you take

wholesome experience back with you. This is a perfect getaway that
