About Lawn
A Riverside Setting Like No Other
The Lawn at Amatra By The Ganges is an open-air event space set within the resort's expansive grounds in Shyampur, Haridwar — one of the most spiritually resonant locations in Uttarakhand. Bordered by lush greenery and positioned in close proximity to the sacred River Ganges, the space carries a natural grandeur that few event venues in the region can match. The open sky, the sound of flowing water nearby, and the clean Himalayan foothills air combine to create an atmosphere that feels both grounding and celebratory. Whether the occasion calls for reverence, joy, or both, the setting provides a backdrop that is genuinely difficult to replicate indoors.
The lawn's character is defined by its openness and its organic connection to the landscape around it. Guests arriving at the resort immediately sense the shift from the noise of the highway to the calm of this riverine retreat — and the Lawn amplifies that transition, offering an event environment that feels like a deliberate step away from conventional banquet halls and hotel ballrooms.
Events & Occasions
The Lawn is suited to a broad range of celebrations and gatherings, with weddings and wedding-related ceremonies being a natural fit. Rituals that hold particular meaning in Hindu tradition — mehendi, haldi, sangeet, and the phera ceremony itself — take on added significance when performed in the presence of the Ganges, and the outdoor format of the Lawn accommodates the movement, music, and extended family gatherings that such occasions demand. The space is equally appropriate for milestone birthdays, anniversary celebrations, and social get-togethers where guests benefit from an informal, open setting.
Corporate retreats and off-site team gatherings are another strong use case. The resort's distance from city distractions, combined with the restorative quality of the riverside environment, makes it a compelling choice for leadership offsites, wellness retreats, and team-building programmes where the goal is genuine engagement rather than another conference room experience. The Lawn provides the physical setting for outdoor sessions, sundowner events, and evening dinners under the stars.
Location & Access
Amatra By The Ganges is located in Shyampur, a short distance from Haridwar city — one of India's foremost pilgrimage destinations and a place many guests will already have reason to visit. Haridwar is well connected by rail, with Haridwar Junction serving trains from Delhi, Mumbai, and other major cities. The resort's position between Haridwar and Rishikesh places it within easy reach of both towns, making it accessible for guests travelling from different directions. The nearest major airport is Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun, which handles regular flights connecting the region to Delhi and other cities.
For event planners, this location offers a meaningful advantage: guests can combine attendance at a celebration with a visit to one of India's most iconic riverside destinations, turning a single trip into a genuinely memorable experience.
