We believe Delhi NCR has very few options for kids. So we were happy to discover Warriors Village, Gurgaon off Manesar which is essentially a village themed adventure park with food, fun activities, music, and whatnot.
This wide expanse of land was divided into various areas. For adventure lovers, there were rock climbing, rappelling, flying fox etc. They had archery and shooting kiosks in the same area. There was also a pool with kids’ pool and given that it was a hot day, this area was full of people waiting for a dip.
Post activities, one would obviously be hungry and they had a dedicated kitchen cum dining hall. They had prepared vegetarian fare and we kept sipping buttermilk alongside. Village women were preparing bajra ka roti {millet bread} in a hut outside and this was a great photo-op. The rotis were fresh and tasty and went very well with gur {jaggery} and churma that was laid on the buffet table. It was simple food with a strong rural flavour and provided a break to our urban taste buds.
By this time we were done and tired. Yet how could we leave without taking a ride on the colourful camel cart? This was a first time and we enjoyed the slow bumpy ride on the roads inside Warrior’s Village. There were ponies too and the kids were more inclined to have a pony ride. They were also very excited to see a charkha, a pounding wheel, and a grinder – things they would have only seen in Social Science textbooks.
This was a wholesome experience barely an hour from the city.
