Sterling Holiday Resorts is deepening its commitment to spiritual tourism with the launch of Sterling Kastoori Rudraprayag, a peaceful yet well-connected Himalayan retreat for pilgrims and travellers alike. This marks Sterling’s 11th property in its spiritual circuit and 7th resort in Uttarakhand, reinforcing its strategic focus on meaningful, immersive travel experiences in sacred destinations.
Located just 2 km from the revered confluence of the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers, the new resort is perfectly placed on the Badrinath Highway, serving as a base for Char Dham yatris, nature enthusiasts, and adventure seekers heading to treks like Tungnath, Deoriatal, and Chandrashila.
The resort offers a range of thoughtfully designed accommodations—from cozy rooms to elegant suites with private balconies and panoramic valley views. Guests can unwind with pure vegetarian regional cuisine at Vatika, which also offers Jain meals, or grab a comforting sip at Chai & You, the in-house café lounge.
Adding to its appeal, the property includes a banquet hall for up to 60 guests, ideal for intimate retreats, spiritual gatherings, or corporate offsites. With Chopta nearby and excellent road access from Haridwar and Rishikesh, the resort is both serene and convenient.
“Sterling Kastoori Rudraprayag is a strategic step in our vision to bring transformational travel experiences to destinations rich in spiritual and natural significance,” said Mr. Vikram Lalvani, MD & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts.
Shri Mahabeer Singh Panwar, MD of Hotel Kastoori Inn, added, “We’re proud to partner with Sterling. Their guest-first approach ensures that this new resort will set a new benchmark for hospitality in the region.”
With spiritual tourism in India poised for significant growth, Sterling’s expanding portfolio includes destinations like Rishikesh, Haridwar, Guruvayur, Puri, Amritsar, and more. This latest launch further solidifies its leadership in catering to spiritually inclined travellers seeking curated experiences.

Surrounded by a unique blend of coastal landscapes and the Western Ghats, Regenta Waterfront Resort-Dapoli is designed to be a peaceful retreat, highlighting ROHL’s commitment to growing its presence across diverse destinations and market segments.
