Learning Warli Art at Save Farm Gholwad

One of the many unique activities at Save Farm, Gholwad is learning how to draw the figures incorporated in traditional Warli art designs. It is organized in the afternoons for kids, with the lessons in the the dining area. 

However, it took some time for the kids who were present to get interested in doing the sketches themselves. They seemed to be content just to watch what the instructor was doing.

Service at Save Farm

The service & hospitality at Save Farm is something which others in the hospitality industry should learn. Having staff with morose faces and looking like as though they are doing a huge favour to the guests is one thing which can put you off. We were glad not to experience this even once at Save Farm.

Accommodation and room facilities at Save Farm Gholwad

Large groups can opt for cottages with multiple beds. There are adjoining rooms too in a common-roofed cottage for 2 separate families, as also modern rooms adjacent to each other near the dining area. There is thus plenty of options to choose from to stay at Save Farm, Gholwad.

Dining at Save Farm: variety is the spice of life!

Other than accommodation and service, food is the mainstay of any trip. At Save Farm, Gholwad the food was outstanding. If you want to truly savour the variety, do stay for 3 nights at least. You won’t regret it, I promise! Every day we had something special in addition to varying vegetables. The only common dishes on the daily menu were the usual staple food: dal, rice, rotis, koshimbir, green chutney, pickle, roasted papad and chaas. At breakfast, fruit pieces are served with the main dish and toasted break slices with butter are also available (as many as you want). Even the pickles were of a varying nature. Check out the menu details and photos below and I’m sure it will set you drooling.

Save Farm Gholwad review 2015: investing in a second home

At the end of our 4 night stay at Save Farm, Gholwad, my aunt summed it up beautifully when she said that instead of spending big bucks on a second home as a vacation home, far better would be to spend on a regular visit a couple of times in a year to Save Farm! It is such a charming, lovely agricultural retreat that it is indeed as good as staying at one’s own vacation home in the midst of nature somewhere in rural India.
