Avabodha – Panchgani
About This Villa
- Featured by Condé Nast Traveller, News18, Femina, ET Travel World, Everything Experiential, Lokmat Times Daijiworld and Ianslife Avabodha is a 3-bedroom eco-friendly home in Panchgani, just off the Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar Road, 5 minutes ahead of the famous Parsi Point.
- We bet you will not get a better view of a sangam. The confluence of two serene rivers, visible from every window of the house will leave you awestruck!
- Park your car near Taighat Wadi parking area, hand over your bags to the caretaker and begin a 150 m steep walk downhill on the concrete path through the trees to the Panchgani villa. On the other hand, you may choose to drive down the road with your SUVs comfortably.
- Kalpana tai will pamper you with hot appe (her signature dish!) with freshly made chutney, tandalachi bhakhri with pithle and mustard-laced jhaal muri, among other traditional dishes.
- Enjoy a true farm-to-table experience with pesticide-free carrots, brinjal, karela and cauliflower, freshly-grown in the garden. You can even plant a tree or vegetable seedlings, and call it your own!
- The chira stone that the HomeOwner, Alka, has lovingly sourced from Konkan Maharashtra, the naturally cool climes of Panchgani, and the hillside location of the home dispel the need for ACs in the home.
- The home has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, while the second and third bedroom share a common bathroom.
- Guided nature trails and a visit to the strawberry farm can be arranged at an additional cost.
- Ideal for: Small families’ getaway, couples getaway, cosy celebrations for couples
