Jungle Book, but make it super comfortable, cozy and aesthetic AF!
The Hidden Village Resort and Spa is redefining indoor to outdoor living, and we are so here for it. Their story is a wonderful one. The founders found this plot of land in 2002. Rampant deforestation had left it absolutely bare and barren, save for a small, muddy stream running through it. They say this is a sure-shot sign of fresh water hiding beneath the surface - and back then, it definitely was. They developed the land, reforested it and created a brand-new ecosystem that beautifully replaced the one deforestation destroyed in the area.
Now, it’s a space that’s brimming with life - you can now spot rare birds, rare trees, and even mud turtles and monitor lizards.
There’s much to do here as well. Take a dip in the water bodies on the property, play indoor or outdoor games, or unwind at the spa. You can also opt for nature walks to the nearest lake which offers picturesque views.
For those that truly want to be one with nature and all, this getaway is simply unmissable.
They have many different types of rooms, like cabins and cottages, and they’re spread across different price points. It might seem like a stay right in the middle of the forest with rustic cottages but there are plenty of amenities to make it a comfortable stay.
Price: Room tariffs for a night start at INR 2100, but you can even plan a day trip to this place!
How To Get There: The nearest railway station is Atgaon, about 2 km away, and you can hail an auto to the resort for INR 100. You can even drive down here from Mumbai, which is 80 km away, in 2 hours.
