Trains, Stars and more at Amreena Farmhouse Avalas village Karjat

There are some very unique things to do when staying at Amreena Farmhouse, Karjat. No, there is no farm where you can walk around. And no, there’s no swimming pool to dive into. Yes, those who constantly want something to do may get bored easily. Yet, you don’t need to say, "There’s nothing to do here!" This is the place to be for a number of reasons, other than for enjoying delicious food…

Visiting Saramsa Garden Complex Gangtok Sikkim

When visiting Gangtok, Sikkim do make sure that you don't miss spending an hour or so at the Saramsa Garden Complex. This superbly maintained landscaped garden that is open to the public for a nominal entry fee was set up way back in 1922 and continues to be a treat for all senses. 

The Saramsa Garden is not located in the actual city of Gangtok. You have to travel about 14-15kms from Gangtok, on the road leading to Pakyong road.

The entire garden complex has well-paved pathways for comfortable walking, quaint antique lamp posts, and everywhere - absolutely everywhere - there is a riot of colours vying for your attention.

Treasure Hunt photo game at Gulmohar Homestay Nashik

Remember following a series of clues in a game to reach a well-hidden treasure? Gulmohar Homestay, Nashik is a fun place to be, especially if you love treasure hunts! There is a literally a treasure trove of things dotting the home, and outdoors in the midst of nature, as well. So I created my own one from the photos I took and if you are heading there, try to find them as quick as you can once you're done with dining and relaxing...

A charming walk through Dr Zakir Hussain Rose Garden Chandigarh

Love open air and plenty of greenery filled with the fragrant scents of flora? The place to be is the Dr Zakir Hussain Rose Garden in the city of Chandigarh, Punjab. Mind you, you need to set aside a lot of hours to spend here, another option being to split the visit on two days. Most important is not to visit at that time of the year when you are unlikely to see the flowering blooms! 

Swinging time at Annapoorna Farm Karjat

It is advisable to take some board games and books to read in the evenings. Unlike at Saguna Baug, Neral and at Save Farm, Gholvad where there are farm tours and adventure activities, there is no such exciting stuff at Annapoorna Farm, Karjat. There are, though, non-adventurous fun things to do – swimming, boating, indoor games & swinging!

Farm Tour at Save Farm Gholvad

One of the many highlights of our wonderful trip to Save Farm, Gholvad was the tour of the farm conducted by Mr. Anil Save. One tip to note here is that the adventure activities are at the end of this tour, so remember to wear flat footwear, preferably sports shoes.

It was fun sitting in the tractor-drawn vehicle (we called it the Buggy since we did not really know what it should be called) and being take around, somewhat akin to sitting in a carriage in a regal manner! 

Visiting Bordi Beach

During our stay at Save Farm, Gholvad we decided to visit Bordi beach which was just 10 minutes away by auto. We had called up the auto drive a day ahead and, on the cautious advice given by the office staff, decided to venture out & return to the farm by 6p.m. We realized why that cautious advice was given to us when we reached Bordi beach.

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.

Awaken sleeping muscles through adventure activities at Save Farm Nursery Gholvad

The most fabulous, unbelievable moments of our trip to SaveFarm nursery were the adventure sport activities.

Well then, go to Save Farm to test your skills. Believe me, it will set your adrenaline pumping and literally awaken muscles in your body that you never knew existed, thanks to spending most of your hours slouched in chairs and on sofas!!
