Have you ever wanted to get up in the morning and open your eyes to such scenic beauty of nature?
If yes, then Mumbai is not a place where you can get this opportunity. But still not much far away from Mumbai at a distance of approx 200kms is this beautiful farm called Atharva Farm, located among the hills of Anjaneri. This place is of significance from mythological perspective related to Lord Hanuman.
Atharva Farm has a capacity of 3 rooms + 1 Hall + 1 Kitchen. There is a garden in front as well which can be used for evening party, fun time, barbeque etc.
On reaching this place, you are mesmerized with the first view
My suggestion is that as soon as you arrive, drop your bags in the room and go for a walk around. It is damn relaxing.
The farm is not only surrounded by lake but also with a lot of trees, greenery & flowers. Enjoy the beauty while you are here
Gives you an opportunity to try your hand at Macro Photography.
This place is just opposite to where I was staying. It is still being built and trust me it is gonna come out really cool. It is right beside the lake.
The landscaping is beautiful, even monochrome comes out so well balanced.
The breathtaking views of landscapes when you get to capture reflections is to die for.
In a serene quiet location far away from the city. It makes you forget everything.
The lake also hosts birds and is a sight to watch. Sit there quietly and keep watching them play. Its lovely.
Meet the Vespa that travelled with me 🙂
Feel free to take a walk alongside the lake. You would get a village feel being there. The village style house is a sight to watch.
Chillies being dried up in sun, giving such landscape views.
The tomato farming and a few more crops can be seen too.
As the evening sets in and sun decides set, the weather turns chilly (approx 18 degrees), but with it, it bring so much beauty around.
There is a lookout tower (Machan) also in the compound. You can climb up and get a beautiful view all around.
I could also capture smoke which erupted when someone burnt something in the village.
Just finally when the sun decides to set, you can also retire back to your room.
Do not miss Stargazing at night. One cannot get a chance for such clear skies in the city.

Here are some of my tips for this place:
- Travel with a partner or friends
- Carry a barbeque grill along with marinated food. Its fun to cook one the night sets in
- Carry bluetooth speakers
- There is mobile network and 4G available
- Use the house-help only for cleaning
- For food, you should either cook or order from nearby restaurant: Shree Krishna or Yashwanth Hotel
- In case you want to drive out for lunch, go to Grape County nearby on the main road.
Enjoy.
