Hotels in Karnal
If you haven’t visited Karnal, you are missing out on one of
the most important and interesting destinations in India. Due to its strategic
location alongside the corridor that links Delhi to Punjab, the Karnal region
is said to be the “bread basket” of India and home to three of the most
important battles that shaped the nation.
The battle of Karnal in 1739 effectively ended the Mughal
Empire and the first and second battles of Panipat firmly and fundamentally
changed the power structure in the subcontinent. Even before that, a number of
strategic and historical battles including the Mahabharata were fought in this
region.
Today, there are a number of monuments and tombs that lay
testament to the fascinating history of the region and the nation and can still
be explored and admired by tourists. Many of these monuments are protected by
the government and enhanced by the Archaeological Survey of India.
Besides its rich history, Karnal is also home to some of the
best and tastiest food in the nation. Local delicacies such as Rajma Chawal,
Chole Bhature and Parathas are famous amongst the travellers of this corridor
and a welcome stop for tourists.
How to get there
Karnal is easy to reach. One has to simply north from Delhi
on Highway 44 or Highway 1 to reach Karnal. The city is about 130 Kms north of
Delhi and can be reached in about two and a half hours. Recently, several new
highways and railway lines are under construction that will further reduce this
time.
Hotels in Karnal
Despite its popularity and the large number of tourists who
visit this area every year, there are very few good hotels in the area. Since
most tourists stop here for the day and then carry on, there are a large number
of restaurants, Dhabbas and eateries here but almost no luxury hotels.
One of the best hotels in Karnal the area is The Vivaan Hotel on Highway
1. This is a modern and classy hotel with all the modern amenities and fixtures
that you would expect rom a five star property but at a reasonable cost.
The rooms at The Vivaan are well appointed with transparent
partitions, balconies and wood paneling while its restaurant and food court are
famous for serving some of the best dishes in this competitive food belt.
The best part about The Vivaan is that it has a plethora of
small and large banquet halls that are perfect for any kind of celebration or
ceremony. Replete with a competent team of event managers, these halls are popular
for both corporate events and stunning destination weddings.
