Manaswal is the ancestral village of the promoters of Gaj Retreat and they can trace back their roots here for over a thousand years. The family has been actively involved in the development of the area, popularly known as ‘Beet’, in Tehsil Garhshanker.
The promoters have vast experience of over 25 years, in the Hospitality industry and have been successfully running Koti Resort in Himachal Pradesh. They have been pioneers in promoting ‘destination tourism’. After the success of Koti Resort, the promoters started an Adventure Tours outfit, which specialized in customized off- road tours in the remote Lahaul-Spiti and Ladakh regions wherin they conducted several successful expeditions.
