The Definitive Guide to Yatri Niwas in Nanded

If you’ve been following the blog (or @Atulmaharaj on Instagram) you probably know that I was in Nanded last weekend. In fact, I did a road trip from Hyderabad to Nanded along with my parents. It wasn’t my first time to Nanded. The last time I was there was in 2017, so I was going back after a long time.

Nanded is one of the prominent shrines for Sikhs and sees a huge influx of pilgrims and tourists all around the year. The city has undergone significant development in recent years to accommodate the influx of pilgrims and tourists, with numerous hotels and lodgings being built in and around the area.

However, when it comes to budget-friendly accommodation, Nanded Yatri Niwas, located near the Gurudwara, is one of the most popular and convenient options available. These are available at Rs 500 a night making them extremely affordable.

In this post, I’ll share everything you need to know about Nanded Yatri Niwas booking to plan your trip.

What’s A Yatri Niwas?

Nanded is an important pilgrimage site for Sikhs as it is the place where the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, passed away. Every year, thousands of pilgrims from all over the world visit Nanded to pay their respects at the Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Gurudwara. It is here that he declared that the Guru Granth Sahib will be worshipped/followed & hence it’s also one of the 5 takhts in Sikhism.

Yatri Niwas in Nanded are accommodation facilities provided by the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC) for the convenience of pilgrims visiting the holy town of Nanded. The SGPC has set up several Yatri Niwas in Nanded to provide comfortable and affordable accommodation for pilgrims and tourists visiting the town. During both my trips to Nanded, I stayed at one in Nanded and I’ll share my experience along with the complete details so you can plan your travel.

Amenities At Yatri Niwas

As mentioned earlier these Yatri Niwas are accommodation services provided by Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee. These are basic rooms provided at minimal rates to pilgrims. Most of the Yatri Niwas in Nanded provide basic yet needed services. I stayed at Punjab Bhavan and below are the amenities provided:

  • Clean and well-maintained rooms
  • 24-hour check-in/check-out
  • Air-conditioned & Non-Air-conditioned rooms
  • Attached bathrooms with hot and cold water supply
  • Beds with fresh linens
  • Elevator facility
  • 24-hour front desk service
  • Parking facilities
  • Security services including CCTV surveillance

Apart from these, some Yatri Niwas might provide additional services like WiFi, power backup etc. but I didn’t get them at Punjab Bhavan. There was partial power backup in the complex I stayed at.

Yatri Niwas Room Conditions

The rooms at Yatri Niwas are very simple and provide basic amenities. Each room can accommodate up 5 people depending on the place you choose to stay at. Punjab Bhavan has 2 double beds in the room. So there are beds, pillows, multiple blankets, a mirror, an air conditioner and a bathroom with a geyser. The room condition is just ok to spend a day/night. If you compare this to a hotel, you’ll be disappointed.

While the complex looks well maintained from the outside, it’s a different story from the inside. You’ll see poorly finished paint jobs, paint coming off the walls etc. Having said that, the overall complex and maintenance are good. There’s cleaning done daily. There’s no room service or food available. They have dedicated areas from where you can get RO water.

So if you stay only at hotels, then this might not appeal to you. However, if you’re on a tight budget, Yatri Niwas in Nanded is the best option to stay.

Booking Yatri Niwas in Nanded

Most of the Yatri Niwas in Nanded offer online booking options. Yatri Niwas including NRI Complex, Punjab Bhavan, Guru Angad Dev Ji Yatri Niwas, Bhai Joga Singh Yatri Niwas, Bhai Daya Singh Ji & Sant Baba Joginder Singh Ji Moni currently offers online booking.

You can also do offline bookings by visiting the check-in counter. On normal days and non-festive days, you’ll get a room easily. But if it’s around long weekends or the festive season, I’d suggest you do an online booking of Nande Yatri Niwas.

Online booking of Yatri Niwas can be done through Hazur Sahib’s website. The website is fairly simple. You first need to choose which Yatri Niwas you want to stay at and choose the check-in and check-out date. Based on that you’ll be presented with the tariff. Most Yatri Niwas in Nanded charge Rs 500 for a 24-hour stay. You can pay this amount online and you’ll get a booking email.

You can reach the place and share the booking code with them. They’ll ask for Id proof for everyone who’ll be staying in the room. Please note that most of the Yatri Niwas will not allow unmarried couples to stay in one room. They’ll give you two separate rooms and you’ll have to pay extra for it. They’ll also take Rs 1000 as a refundable deposit in cash. At the time of checkout, this amount will be returned.

Please note that online booking starts 3 months before the date and closes 8 days. Hence plan your stay accordingly. If there’s no room available in the one chosen by you, you can be allotted a room in a different place according to availability. Lastly, there’s no refund in case of cancellation for online bookings.
