Photo guide road route to go to Amreena Farmhouse Avalas Village Karjat

Amreena Farmhouse is in the village of Avalas and within a reasonable driving distance from the centre of Karjat. Once you book your stay, the owners will provide you with the specific Google Map link (they make it clear that you should use that link only), which has been found to be useful as mentioned in reviews by a couple of guests who headed there via road. However, for people like us who are train travellers and hired an auto to take us there from Karjat railway station, it was, to put it frankly, completely useless. This is primarily for two reasons – one, the connectivity is poor, and second, prominent markers on the map should have been ones that are known to locals. As it is, the village itself is not known to most of the auto drivers and the person who did know of it by name eventually found it difficult to locate the farmhouse. 

Perhaps the directions I am explaining here through photos (a few taken while going, and the others on the return drive) will be a useful guide for the road route from Karjat.

Travelling to Annapoorna Farm Stay Karjat

Annapoorna Farm is not very far from Karjat station and it is a straight, clear road with not much traffic. On our recent visit, we boarded the local Karjat fast train from Dadar station at 8.20a.m. and reached the Karjat railway station at 10.20a.m. Check out the site go4mumbai.com – the best site for getting very accurate timings of local trains, both slow and fast, for Western, Central and Harbour lines.

Travelling to Save Farm Gholvad

We generally book reserved tickets well in advance on an express train when heading for a trip. For our recent trip to Save Farm Nursery, Gholvad for the first time in our life we decided to travel like the aam janta, in a general compartment of a long-distance passenger train.Turned out to be a totally madcap idea!!

Travelling to Saguna Baug Neral

We have just returned from a lovely trip to Nisarg Niketan, better known by its other name, Saguna Baug, located in Neral. Two of us travelled by the Koyna Express and reached Neral within a hour. Make sure (a) to take photo ID proof for the train journey and (b) keep hold of the ticket as the TC at Neral station will ask for it. 

We boarded the train at Dadar station, from where it leaves at 8.52a.m. and reaches Neral Junction station at 10.05a.m. At both stations, the train halts for just 2 minutes so you have to be quick. Hence it is advisable to be ready once the train leaves Badlapur station, after which it passes through Vangani and Shelu before reaching Neral.
