A little bit like Neverland {Peter Pan, remember?}, The Peepal Tree really is a homestay with 22 cottage to choose from — all overlooking the backwaters. When you’re done with swimming, playing volleyball, football and cricket by the waters, plan out a day of fishing, trekking or cycling along the waters or even further into the wilderness. At night, settle down for some star gazing. I find it almost therapeutic.
