This was my first camping experience and I am glad it was a pleasant one. A friend recommended this place; it is situated on a private property and is surrounded by water and mountain range on 3 sides. Tourbugs arranges camping weekends here; they take care of everything for you so you don’t have to carry anything with you. They provide you with comfortable tents, Veg and non veg barbeque and dinner. Since it’s a private property, there is no one around expect for the people camping there.
There is
little to no mobile network there, giving you a much needed digital detox.
They
generally organise weekend trips but going there on a Saturday was not possible
for us thus we requested them if we could reach on a Sunday and leave on
Monday, he agreed. Since we went there on Sunday, there was no one camping with
us, the entire area was just for us.
We left from
Mumbai at around 10am and reached the place around 4pm. We did stop on the way
for lunch. The place is stunning; we took a round around the property while
sipping on tea.
We soon
started prepping for the bonfire and the barbeque. The chicken was juicy and
yum, it was magical to sit under the moonlight with only a bonfire and yummy
food.
The place is
clean, had clean washrooms as well. There are absolutely no mosquitoes here.
The owner of
the property lives around 10minutes away and the food and tea is made there
only.
They sent over our dinner around 9pm. With some light music in the
background the evening was spent sharing stories.
It was a
cloudy night but the moonlight was enough to light up the place.
We woke up
early next morning and after some breakfast we went downhill to the catchment
area. As I mentioned earlier, it is a private property thus it was just us in the
middle of the water in the middle of nowhere.
We actually
could spend hours there. I don’t know how to swim so I chilled in the water
with my lifejacket on. After I was done just floating around in water, I decided
to go lie down on the little boat that was anchored there. I got my last night’s
wine bottle and finished the little wine that was left.
Soon it was
time to head back home; we decided to have lunch at the owner’s home. Their kitchen
has a few tables and a sitting area. They served us yummy home cooked
traditional Maharashtian food. We ate it all :D and then left the rural calm
place to enter the urban concrete jungle.
