Strategically located on the Char Dham Yatra route, the resort enjoys seamless connectivity between Rishikesh, Badrinath and Kedarnath. Enroute to Tehri Lake, Auli, Valley of Flowers and Chopta, Uttarakhand’s prominent adventure destinations, the property is positioned as an ideal layover and rejuvenation destination for pilgrims as well as leisure and adventure travellers. Positioned along NH-58, the resort offers a comfortable and accessible stopover amidst one of India’s most spiritually significant travel corridors.
Commenting on the signing, Mr. Ashish Vohra, Founder & CEO, Onora Hospitality, said, “With its unique positioning as a comfort-driven halt on the Char Dham corridor, combined with the serenity of a riverside setting, jüSTa Riverside Resort Maletha is set to become a preferred choice for pilgrims, leisure travellers, adventurers and event seekers exploring Uttarakhand. We are also pleased to join hands with Mr. Prateek Karanwal, Managing Director of Regency Holidayz Private Limited, in strengthening our presence across key pilgrimage and leisure corridors. We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to welcoming guests to an enhanced jüSTa Riverside Resort experience in the heart of Dev Bhoomi.”
Mr. Prateek Karanwal, Owner of Riverside Resort, added, “Following the success of our partnership with jüSTa Hotels & Resorts at our greenfield property jüSTa Hollow Oak Mussoorie, which we opened in April 2025, we were exploring a brand tie-up for Riverside Resort Maletha at Srinagar in Uttarakhand. After careful deliberation, we found it best to expand our partnership with jüSTa and make it even stronger. We look forward to welcoming guests travelling for pilgrimage, leisure or adventure with an improved guest experience under the jüSTa brand.”
The 60-key full-service riverside resort offers well-appointed rooms with uninterrupted views of the Alaknanda River and landscaped gardens, allowing guests to unwind in a tranquil natural setting. The property features an all-day dining restaurant, banquet hall and expansive lawn spaces, making it suitable for leisure stays, group movements, destination weddings and social gatherings.
What makes this signing particularly significant is the property’s legacy.

With this partnership, the resort will be further enhanced to deliver the signature jüSTa hospitality experience, combining comfort, consistency and service excellence.
