Location: 3o Minutes from Lahore on M3 Motorway at Nankana Sahib Exit, Nankana Sahib, Pakistan
For more than 500 years, the city of Nankana Sahib has been the pilgrim spot for thousands of Sikhs each year. Nankana Resort is situated three (3) Km from this historic city and 60Km from Lahore on the M3 Motorway (the newly constructed Lahore to Karachi Motorway).) on Rai Bular's Estate and the old Rajput trail through authentic Punjabi villages. The Resort provides international and domestic guests with the very best of facilities in which to relax and enjoy their visit to Nankana Sahib.
The Resort follows an early precedent set by Rai Bular, the pioneer who founded the original City of Talwandi (now Nankana Sahib) that has attracted visitors to the area from all over the world since 1469 A.D. The resort provides guests with the very best of facilities in which to relax and get away from the urban noise.
NANKANA RESORT DETAILS
Nankana Resort offers visitors an exciting experience. The Resort offers overnight accommodations and a great number of leisure activities such as horseback riding, walking and fitness tracks, boating, indoor miniature golf, picnics and BBQ facilities, facilities for destination weddings/events and corporate group activities. The food and beverage facilities at the resort offer a healthy organic selection of wholesome wheat and grains, fruits, vegetables and meat – all 100% natural and locally grown.
The botanical gardens at the Resort are equally unique; combining a walking/jogging track, and a bike riding track. In the evenings, the track is lit to make the evenings as pleasant as the sun soaked days. There is always something to do, but it is equally pleasant to do absolutely nothing at all or ‘trouver du plaisir à ne rien faire du tout’ - find pleasure in doing nothing at all. For example, some guests may simply relax and enjoy lovely unprogrammed hours in the park and gardens, observing birds and peacocks, taking walks, and sampling the restaurant and the village gift shop.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Nankana Resort is located in an historic area of Punjab, Pakistan that has witnessed centuries of Persian and Mogul occupation give way to British colonization, before becoming part of the Pakistan. The Resort itself stands on Rai Bular’s Estate - on the old Rajput trail through centuries-old Punjabi villages. The Resort follows an early precedent set by Rai Bular Bhatti, the pioneer who founded the original City of Talwandi (now Nankana Sahib) where the revered saint Guru Nanak was born and grew up. Nankana Resort hopes to pride itself on a continuing tradition of fine hospitality and service and earn its status by paying attention to details that others neglect: an emphasis on self-improvement and regeneration, unparalleled service, organic and close to nature lifestyle, and complete modern facilities, all in the finest of settings.
CULTURE AND TRADITION OF HOSPITALITY
The staff at the Resort is one of the most hospitable and welcoming anywhere, and take great pride in the tradition at the Resort. Guests are pampered by personal attention that is one of the highlights of any stay at Nankana Resort. Each and every guest is made to feel special. The Resort maintains the traditional feeling of a ‘personal place’. It is essential that every guest feel he or she is being treated like a celebrity. From the first greeting, service is reminiscent of a bygone era in the heart of Punjab when innkeepers welcomed guests into their homes and cared for them like family.
Rai Bular’s Nankana Sahib (old Talwandi) continues the tradition of hospitality and attention to detail that characterized the five hundred years of its history. The Resort is constantly developing new programs and updating the resort’s facilities, with the goal of providing for all who visit a total resort experience in culture and regional flavor - evident day or night.
So, simply stated and without exaggeration, no matter how long a guest stays, the experience is destined to be a memorable one and visitors will become addicted to the health nature environment and facilities – hopefully enough to honor us with repeat visits.
