Thomas Cook’s wholly owned subsidiary -- Sterling Holiday Resorts has opened Sterling Saryu Ayodhya, its second resort in Ayodhya, reinforcing its destination-led growth strategy in one of India’s most significant spiritual hubs. The launch advances Sterling’s focus on building high-intent travel circuits across heritage and pilgrimage India--grounded in consistent service, trusted standards, and experiences rooted in place.
Inspired by the spiritual identity of the city and named after the sacred River Saryu, Sterling Saryu Ayodhya has been envisioned as a restful retreat for faith-led journeys. The resort offers thoughtfully planned accommodations--from Cocoon Rooms created for deep rest to Junior Suites suited for longer stays--aligned to the rhythm of pilgrimage days where early mornings, temple circuits and long walks make restorative sleep essential.
Located within convenient reach of Ayodhya’s key temples, ghats and transport hubs, the retreat combines access with ease. The all-day dining restaurant, The Saryu Cafe, serves familiar, wholesome vegetarian flavours, while calm common areas and a well-appointed banquet hall make the property equally suited for spiritual group travel, family gatherings and focused meetings.
Thomas Cook (India) is the leading omnichannel travel company in the country offering a broad spectrum of services including foreign exchange, corporate travel, mice, leisure travel, value added services, and visa services.
