Exploring the Essence of Anantum Gateway Resorts with ETAA
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.

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.

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.
