And here we arrive at the last spot on our list of safe and sanitized monsoon retreats in Panchgani. This one is quite different from the luxury stays mentioned above. An eco-farm stay- that’s the place to visit if you want to experience the simplicity of farm life.

Located at a hidden spot, this stay is where you’ll come across the nuances of nature that has long been lost in cities. An ideal village life- that’s what you get to discover there.

You get the option between cottages and tents. Both have modest designs with a touch of elegance and rural charm. With a private backyard and sit-out spots, your evenings will blissfully pass chatting and strolling around.

Moreover, the local Maharashtrian meals served are prepared from fresh produce that too cooked traditionally on chulhas. I am pretty sure only a handful of urbanities can claim to have tasted the chulha-cooked food. So here’s your chance.

How can you experience the true essence of rural life without a bullock cart and tractor ride through green fields? Or without going on a village tour? If requested, the stay would certainly agree to these demands.

What about entertainment? Well, how does playing badminton on an open ground sound? You can also sit on the soft lawns and play carrom or cards? When was the last time you played these games?

Suitable for: This serene getaway near Panchgani is for those who want to experience the taste of rural India. You can visit there with your family, friends or partner and have a relaxing holiday.

With the range of activities this place offers, you won’t get even a single chance to miss the virtual screen.
