How to Book HTDC Hotels, Motels & Resorts Online – A Complete Guide for Travellers in Haryana
Planning a road trip, weekend getaway, or pilgrimage across Haryana? The Haryana Tourism Development Corporation (HTDC / Haryana Tourism Corporation) makes staying convenient with its network of tourist complexes, hotels, motels, and resorts spread across the state. These properties offer clean, affordable accommodation, multi-cuisine restaurants, bars, conference facilities, and often unique attractions like lakes, golf courses, or highway stops.
The best part? You can book rooms and banquet/lawn facilities online anytime through the official Haryana Tourism portal—no need to wait until you reach the front desk.
Why Choose HTDC Properties?
Haryana Tourism Corporation, established in 1974, manages around 40–44 tourist complexes across the state. These range from budget motels and standard AC rooms to deluxe suites and facilities ideal for families, business travellers, and pilgrims. Popular locations include complexes near Faridabad (Badkhal Lake), Gurgaon, Kurukshetra, Hisar, Yamunanagar, and many highway points that pair perfectly with road journeys.
Amenities commonly include restaurants, bars, conference halls, swimming pools or health clubs at select properties, petrol pumps, and recreational options. They are especially useful for highway tourism and short stays while exploring heritage sites, the Mahabharat circuit, adventure spots like Morni Hills, or events such as the Surajkund International Crafts Mela.
