Hello Everyone,

If the luminous nights, the cloudy days, the lush green hills, the gushing streams, the cascading waterfalls, the misty mountain tops, entice and inspire you we have a perfect respite for you. Away from the maddening city crowds and the concrete jungle and yet not too far away; almost like an adventure in your very own backyard .......
Drab ppts, zigzag sales graphs, collection pressure, project deadlines, commuting in the Metro, rising inflation, stock market crashes, an ever increasing collection of junk cable TV channels… Sound familiar?


We don’t have the solution to this nor do we offer a 4-minute nirvana course. We also don’t know the 8 quick steps to salvation.

These are realities of a crazed city and no one can avoid it. Not even us!

Yet, we know certain things; that as you travel 10 km further from Panvel on the Goa highway, the temperature drops suddenly; climbing the Maholi peak early morning leaves you with better lungs and heart; star gazing in the middle of the night atop Harischandraghad can be an unparalleled experience; a coin tossed from the top of Vasota peak at Babukhada can swish right back at you because of the wind pressure rushing up the valley like a hurricane….
