Family hotels and homes in Verka

A serene aesthetic space with such generous hospitality - highly recommend!

I am usually sceptical about all 5 star review places - but the garden's photo and my wife's pressure (married men would get my predicament :p), made me book this place in advance. We live in Bangalore and this was my going to be my first visit to Punjab. All the Punjab references in my head were what Hindi film industry (read Yash Chopra) had fed me; which combined with the cold and 'keep to yourself' nourishing in Bangalore had made me a little too skeptical about what my experience was going to be. I mean, obviously the Punjabi characters in the movies were caricatures and how could 'warmth' be a trait of the whole region - of course I thought there would be some good souls but most of the left brain made me expect some blurred Udta Punjab version - same went for the expectation that I had from the owner of De Manora. I mean, he sounded a little too cheerful and a little too excited for my visit to his property. To make my visit a truly memorable one, all these projections and caricatures needed to be true and there was hardly any space for aany spectrum as far as the soul warmth meter. But low did I get googlies!!! Let me start by the hotel. De Manora was beautiful. A private residence turned to just a few room hotel (all on the ground floor) with warm vibes of bhajan audible all day immediately transported me to the good old 90's where grannies lay pickles in the sun, children were visible on the fields and an old-fashioned DD1 briefed us about the day affairs at 9 PM - all altogether a feeling of sukoon! The owner did really seem enthusiastic about our visit here - not because I awed him with my voice on the phone - but because he really did want folks, not from the region, experience the region through his eyes and experience. Someone who loves his religion and space and is doing a service to others in his own way. No, I am not saying he is a saint, but he is not just a good businessman - he is a good business-human!!

We liked the stay in J K residency amritsar. Very humble and caring staffs. We reached from Kerala there by solo travel in the morning and the staff took care of us well by providing us all the needs. Food also available there. Its location is very closer to golden temple. Walkable distance only there. We liked the ambience too. Overall experience was awesome.
