Nature Trails—Thomas Cook (India) Limited’s experiential hospitality brand—has expanded its portfolio with the launch of its 5th resort, Nature Trails Rishikesh in Uttarakhand.
The brand currently operates four resorts at Durshet, Sajan and Kundalika in Maharashtra, and Rock Valley in Goa.
A strategic location between Rishikesh and Haridwar
Nature Trails Rishikesh is located between Rishikesh and Haridwar—two of India’s key spiritual and adventure tourism destinations. Positioned across 4 acres of lush greenery in the Chilla region near the gateway to Rajaji National Park, the resort is designed for travellers who want a mix of spiritual immersion and offbeat adventure.
The property features 29 thoughtfully designed rooms with private balconies and sit-out areas, surrounded by open lawns and palm-lined pathways, offering a refreshing Himalayan ambience.
Spiritual experiences, nature escapes, and adventure access
Guests can explore Rishikesh’s spiritual landscape through visits to Laxman Jhula and Tapovan, along with the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat. For nature and adventure seekers, the resort offers easy access to experiences including safari rides through Rajaji National Park, riverside walks, white-water rafting, nature walks, and outdoor exploration with local guides.
Within the resort, guests can unwind with poolside relaxation featuring mountain views, peaceful evening strolls, and wholesome dining inspired by authentic Garhwali flavours alongside popular Indian favourites—creating a stay that blends leisure, fun, and spirituality.
Connectivity and ideal fit for multiple traveller segments
Nature Trails Rishikesh offers convenient connectivity by road, rail and air. The resort is well-linked via NH7 and NH34 with bus and taxi services from Delhi, Haridwar and Dehradun. It is approximately 20 kms from Haridwar railway station and around 40 kms from Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport—making it well suited for families, couples, spiritual seekers, adventure enthusiasts, group retreats, and corporate off-sites.
Leadership quote on experiential travel momentum
Mahesh Iyer, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Cook (India) Limited, said India’s domestic experiential travel is witnessing strong momentum as travellers seek immersive stays combining rest, adventure, gastronomy, and spirituality. He added that the launch of the 5th Nature Trails resort in Rishikesh creates an attractive offering for travellers looking to blend adventure and spiritual tourism through curated, locally rooted experiences. He also shared that since acquiring Nature Trails last year, Thomas Cook has been pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy, and that the Rishikesh opening follows the recent launch of the brand’s resort in Ponda, Goa, with more additions planned in the coming weeks and months.
