Olá travelers! Let me ask you a quick question. Have you heard about the term Susegad? Well, if you’ve been to Goa, you must have already experienced it. Right? For the uninitiated, it is about the calm and easy-going “take life as it comes” attitude of the Portuguese, and Goan hospitality reflects this way of life, thanks to the Portuguese influence. But what does it have to do with a plantation stay, you ask? Well, quite a lot. This Riverfront Plantation Stay in Karjat has been built by the D’Souza family around the very concept of susegad. It is a homestay by the river Ulhas, surrounded by mango orchards where you are welcome with your friends and family to spend some time surrounded by untouched nature’s tranquility. Here, you take life slow and enjoy each moment as it comes with your loved ones. There are two quaint villas - the main Souzagad Villa and the Mango Shack, both of which are so perfectly adorned to put you in the mood of relaxation. There’s a fully-loaded library so you can bring out a book and sit on the lawn with your pet while you’re children are playing. With almost 120 acres of mango plantation, you can easily pass time by cycling along the riverside or trekking through the area. You can also go kayaking in the river. And after you’re done with the activities you can come by the outdoor bar, grab a beer, and have a hearty laugh with the gang at the sit-out area near the river. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen in the villa where you and your family members can cook together and enjoy a hearty homely meal. At night, fancy a barbeque, eh? So, cook up one out in open with the help of the caretaker. To be closer to nature even at night, set up tents and camp under the starry sky. Sounds just about perfect right? Indeed it is wonderful! The whole property in the middle of nature has such an amazing feel to it, along with the availability of so many activities, that you really wouldn’t feel like coming back. You’ll probably end up calling this your second home because of its ambiance. So, what are you waiting for? Book this Susegad stay right away because there are two villas! You sure wouldn’t want to miss this experience, I tell you!
