Things To Do

The best thing to do at Raunaq is to do nothing at all; relax and soak in the crisp fresh air amidst our lovely plantation.

At the Property

We have a refreshing swimming pool at the property for our guests to have a rejuvenating dip, or just sit at the poolside deck & bar for their evening drink, with stunning plantation views.

Our guests could go for nature walks within the plantation that is secured by electric fencing. In season, plucking kinoos is a popular activity for children, adults and senior citizens alike, for some freshly squeezed juice.

The expansive lawns could be used for unwinding or playing games, just like the cosy indoor lounge, or to light a bonfire to warm up those chilly winter evenings.

Horse riding can be arranged with a handler who can give basic lessons on riding.

Around the Property

Raunaq is located in Hoshiarpur district's stunning Nara forest area.

Our guests can visit the Nara forest rest house, built in the British times and the Nara dam with its beautiful lake. It is all within 10 minutes of the property.

Treks in that region can be arranged by our staff with packed picnic meals on request.

An automated dairy farm with nearly 400 cows, from where we source all our milk products like milk, curd and paneer, is just a few minutes away and a must visit.

Four wheel driving on your SUV's through Nara forest's endless trails is also a very popular adventure sport around Raunaq.

Day Excursions

Guests can visit the historic town of Hoshiarpur (about 20 minutes away) where they spend the day walking its bazaar's bustling lanes with its small hattis and strike a great bargain on things like Punjabi juttis, hand embroidered phulkari, ethnic wear and the lot.

Visit the Indian Forest Service's protected sites of Kukanet and Derian (about 50 minutes away) — where you could take your vehicles for over 20 km through a dense forest in a shallow river bed, in the dense shade of bamboo plantations; one of the most spectacular and un-discovered wild spots in Punjab. The forest rest houses at Thana Dam or Chohal Dam are great excursions for a meal or boating.

For religious pilgrimages, the revered temples of Chintpurni, Baglamukhi and Naina Devi along with the historic Gurudwaras of Anandpur Sahib, Bhabour Sahib and the Virasat-e-Khalsa museum can all be done as a day's excursion.

The Bhakra Dam and Pong Dam are easy to do as day excursions from Raunaq and are a beautiful drive away.
