What Makes It Awesome?

The easiest way to Igatpuri is by road. The five-hour-drive to the resort is a good one with smooth clean roads and breathtaking views. Take NH60 and drive through the Shirdi bypass in Bhatwadi. Follow this for a more detailed route. The Herb Farm is situated right near the Darna River Lake.

Imagine this. A gorgeous resort, flanked by a riverside with hill views through glassy windows and an open-air deck for star gazing through the night. It’s quiet and peaceful and fits the bill of a perfect detox vacation, away from the urban chaos. We hear The Herb Farm features eight luxury cottages.

Besides, the resort has tons of activities that you can sign up for. Go for a cycle ride down the hills or try your hand at archery. And if these aren’t enough, check out the ‘kindle library’ and spend hours out there.

Now coming to the most difficult part. The cottages are exorbitantly priced but take it from us, its location and hospitality make up for it. The cost for a night is INR 6,490 per couple and will differ during the weekends and according to the season.
