Nature Activities
​Banyan Bliss - 'Your destination to rediscover the joys of rustic outdoor living for children who may never experience it or adults who yearn to re-live those childhood memories of holidays spent at their ancestral home'
What differentiates us from other properties is the absence of any pre defined activity or a swimming pool, room service, spa or health club etc.
Guests when left to themselves are welcome to decide on what they would like do at our home. Some catch up on long lost sleep given how stressful their weekdays are. Some read, some sip a beverage some make a visit to the nearby river, trek up the nearby mountain and some play catch up with friends, pets and family and soak in the silence and the star lit nights.
Children can bring back the simplicity of nature. It increases awareness of one's surroundings, refreshes one's appreciation for the many things that so often go unnoticed. Each day provides a child new learnings and experiences. Nature provides amazing things to discover and camping out on a star lit night enhances these experiences. Just think – the birds and animals, the plants and trees, the rocks, the streams and ponds, the insects, the sounds, the weather, the wildflowers, and the many activities that can provide so much excitement. The possibilities are endless! A well planned, enjoyable camping trip for children, will set them on the path to a lifetime of outdoor adventures.

Trek up the mountain

No better birds eye view than a guided trek up the nearby mountain 900 fee above sean level that's visible from Banyan Bliss. A pleasant hike that will take you to the top of the mountain for a breaktaking view of the surrounding area. The rock shrine at the top of the mountain is revered by locals as a local deity and spritual experience . The hike is about 1hour 30 mins round-trip (You're free to spend longer and go at your own leisurely pace as needed) way and starts at a local tribal village near Banyan Bliss, a 35 mins walk or 10 mins drive away from us. The cost of the local guide is Rs.350 for a couple and needs to be booked in advance with us.

At Banyan Bliss, there is a lot to enjoy for families and friends. From leisurely strolls across endless acres of safe and idyllic forest trails, to rustic village walks, a dip in the Amba river, or sleeping under a charpoy or in tents at night gazing at the stars above or a walk across the mountain to either Bushi Dam, Amby Valley or even Lonavala.
