Namaste Dwaar is a rural wellness resort nestled close to Delhi, offering a harmonious escape where guests can reconnect with nature and well-being. “We blend ancient Ayurvedic principles, the knowledge of mudras, and modern wellness to create immersive, personalised experiences. Our unique position as a countryside retreat is amplified by our lush herbal garden and vast farmlands that supply fresh, healing ingredients used in our wellness treatments. With an emphasis on authentic, connected experiences, we offer a peaceful alternative to conventional urban wellness centres,” says Erika Rathi, Director, Namaste Dwaar Resort.
The unique experience
Saying that the resort stands out for its authentic rural experience, where guests immerse themselves in natural beauty and simplicity, Rathi adds, “Our offerings range from farm-to-table meals and sustainable practices to a variety of wellness and retreat options, including women’s retreats, senior citizen programmes, and exclusive ‘Getting Back to Roots’ experience. We emphasise meaningful connections, making Namaste Dwaar ideal for intimate, family-oriented weddings and events, alongside leisure travel.”
For small celebrations
Namaste Dwaar is increasingly popular for small, intimate celebrations and weddings. “Our wedding venues—including Buddha Lawn, Char Bagh, Gher Villa, and Poolside—are designed to foster closeness and authenticity, creating cherished memories for families looking for meaningful celebrations. We are also building 16 new rooms with a central pavilion, specifically for families desirous of a shared experience,” she shares.
Wellness tourism growth
Since the pandemic, wellness tourism has gained traction, with a noticeable demand for city detox retreats, mindful getaways, and immersive wellness experiences, claims Rathi. “Guests are now more inclined towards sustainable, health-oriented, and rejuvenating stays, and we are constantly expanding our wellness offerings to meet these needs, including digital detox initiatives and holistic wellness consultations,” she adds.
Sustainable approach
Rathi claims that sustainability is a core focus at Namaste Dwaar. “As a rural resort, we aim to reduce our environmental impact through eco-friendly practices, conservation of water and energy, and supporting local communities. Our herbal garden not only supports wellness treatments but reduces the need for external sourcing. Additionally, we use reusable resources and avoid single-use plastics as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainable tourism,” she adds.
Growing appeal
She further adds, “While Namaste Dwaar primarily focuses on domestic tourism, we also have a growing international appeal, especially among travellers seeking genuine wellness experiences in India.”
Trade engagement
When it comes to maintaining relationships with the travel trade for business, Rathi says, “We actively engage with the travel trade by partnering with agents, hosting familiarisation trips, and collaborating on digital platforms.” They have plans to expand, but first, they are focusing on creating a complete village experience.
