Spiritual Navratri Getaways with Leisure Hotels Group

Navratri, celebrated over nine sacred days, is a time of devotion, fasting, colour, and celebration. Each day honours a different form of the Goddess, with rituals, temple visits, music, and community celebrations. It is also a time for self-reflection and renewal and there is no better place to experience it than in India’s spiritual heartlands. 

From the ghats of the Ganga to the temple lanes of Vrindavan, Leisure Hotels Group offers soulful escapes that balance spirituality with modern comfort. Nestled in Uttarakhand’s Dev Bhoomi (Land of the Gods) and beyond, across India’s most sacred towns like Haridwar and Rishikesh.  These retreats take you close to revered shrines, evening aartis, and the festive riverfronts that glow during Navratri.
