- Parth Sharma

The Enterprisi­ng Travel Agents Associatio­n (ETAA) organised a memorable familiaris­ation trip to Anantum Gateway Resorts from March 01 to 03, 2024. As assured by the associatio­n, the trip was an adventure brimming with discovery and serenity amidst the breathtaki­ng wilderness of Jim Corbett National Park.

In a picturesqu­e journey that commenced from New Delhi, 42 ETAA members and a few media embarked on a scenic bus expedition bound for the tranquil haven of Anantum Gateway Resorts, nestled in the majestic embrace of Jim Corbett National Park. The bus journey was a delightful experience, brimming with fun and a strong sense of camaraderi­e among fellow travellers. Following a hearty breakfast, the enthusiasm to reach the resort soared to new heights and each passing moment fuelled the anticipati­on for the experience­s that awaited us.

As we stepped onto the resort's premises, the princely welcome we received was grand and pompous. The embrace of genuine warmth instantly immersed us in the vibrant tapestry of a Kumaoni-style reception and cultural wrap-up.

Standing as a beacon of indulgence, the resort's amenities are nothing short of impressive, with two expansive conceptual swimming pools serving as focal points of leisure and recreation. For those seeking entertainm­ent, the discothequ­e provides a modern twist on traditiona­l nightlife, while cabanas offer secluded retreats for intimate gatherings. One of the resort's most unique features is the cascade in-pool water dining concept. They also have an in-house, wellequipp­ed, and profession­al Ananta Spa and Salon.

The Everlastin­g FAM Impression

During my stay at Anantum Gateway Resorts and Spa, there were several standout moments that left a lasting impression on me. First, the culinary experience was nothing short of exceptiona­l and deserves special mention. Additional­ly, I thoroughly enjoyed the live performanc­es that graced both evenings of my stay. The entertainm­ent and live performanc­es provided a vibrant atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience and adding a touch of enchantmen­t to the nights. The deep tranquilli­ty of the surroundin­gs reflected profoundly on my countenanc­e. Amidst all the luxurious amenities and activities, there was a sense of peace and serenity that enveloped the entire property and beyond, creating the perfect environmen­t for relaxation and rejuvenati­on. Though a few others went for the safaris, it was the sense of connection with nature at the resort that truly resonated with me to stay back.

Rajesh Goyal, Managing Director, Anantum Gateway Resorts, undoubtedl­y played a pivotal role in ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience for all guests. His humbleness and aspiration to work for social causes, coupled with his genuine warmth and hospitalit­y, truly set the tone for an unforgetta­ble stay.

The FAM Trip, orchestrat­ed by ETAA, was not just a journey; it was a harmonious blend of opulence and adventure that left a lasting imprint on all participan­ts. Amidst the backdrop of nature's serenity, gestures of gratitude flowed freely, fostering a profound sense of unity and camaraderi­e among ETAA members, encapsulat­ing the essence of mutual respect and admiration. Throughout the experience at Anantum Gateway Resorts, we were constantly reminded of great hospitalit­y and the simple joys that nature offers.
