Western Ghat Resort Near Pune - Dreamland Farm near Mulshi

Hi first short trip this monsoon – Dreamland Farm - resort Near Mulshi

Long awaited office trip picnic was due and hence decided to fix a plan nearby. Requirements were clear, start after office hour on Saturday and reach by return by Sunday afternoon.  Since its half day working on Sat afternoon, we generally plan this way. Start after office hours, reach to the place by evening, have fun in the evening at the resort followed by dinner at night. Wake up in the morning and go for nature walk, have a breakfast at location and check out. Reach home by afternoon so that you have time to spend with your family too on weekend.

This time we decided to move towards Mulshi and finalized the Dreamland resort. We enquired about all details to the office staff in advance.

Location –

Location of this resort what makes its Unique! It’s just 1 hour drive from Nigdi / Chandni Chauk. Once you reach Male village on Mulshi road, you have to take road towards Malhar machi resort. This road takes you to the Lonawala. Lonawla-Mulshi link load J It’s not the name of the road by the way. But it connects these two best locations. The resort is 10 km from that road. It’s ghat road. You drive up and up for reaching to this resort. For details refer the google map below.

Drive on this road is memorable. As road is narrow and surrounded by dense forest, drive / ride is always pleasant.  You cross the small bridge. The view of the dam from this bridge is clear, louder and awesome. Road condition is average. You come cross many waterfalls while driving on this road. Need not to mention this is best location for photography especially during Monsoon. After all this is located in Western Ghat. The nature beauty.

Stay / Rate:

For tent stay : 1300 Rs (Includes evening high tea, dinner, tent stay, morning breakfast, swimming pool to use, rain dance and Music) We find this pretty reasonable. In rainy season tents are covered under the roof and glass from surrounding.

You have to do the advance booking by paying half of the amount.

If you would like to include the lunch in the above package, they offer 24 hour package too which is little bit costlier than this.

They also offer room stay. Rooms are in pretty good conditions facing back water of Mulshi dam. Room stay are little bit costlier but affordable.

If you are going along with your family prefer room stay than tent stay.

Food:

Food is nice and serving staff is also good. They co-operate. Personal Opinion is, avoid to try hotel dish’s at this place as caretaker’s staying here cook the food for you. Regular food (Chiken, roti, rice, pohe, upma, kanda bhaji, etc are best in taste here).

While booking the resort they do provide menu card. If you want anything in extra (Special dishesh like fish etc) you can order in advance so they will make arrangement on the date if your stay. Since this is located little bit away from city it’s not easy to go out and buy immediately. So prefer to provide your food preference (Veg/non veg) in advance.

Entertainment / Activities -

Swimming pool is in very good condition. Water is continuously circulating. Location of the swimming pool is also perfect surrounded by complete greenery. We preferred to play the water polo there. Believe me it’s amazing and memorable one. They do provide swimming costume on chargeable basis. It’s little bit of hike to reach to the tents from swimming pool.

The resort does have cricket kit, volleyball, football, carom, etc. No extra charges for this. Use and return the kit.

My experience -

Little but of our visit experience – We have reached there and within no time jumped in the swimming pool.  After playing water polo for one and half hour all were tired and took the bath and reached to the tent location. The staff was ready with garam garam Kanda Bhaji and Tea to freshen up us. It was mouth-watering. Immediately we took the cricket kit and spend half an hour playing cricket. Ball vanished in the big pot and game stopped. By the time it was very dark and we returned to the tents. Tents were ready with Pillow and Matress. Carrom was arranged and we spent some time playing carom. Dinner was ready by 9.00 and all were so hungry that we all attacked on Garam Garam delicious dinner. Chicken especially.

Morning Scenery Dreamland Farm Resort

Tents were comfortable for sleep. 5 people can accommodate in a tent. In morning we group of 4 people awaked early in the morning and started for nature walk. Resort is surrounded by huge line of hills from one side and Mulshi dam backwater to the other side. During Monsoon hills are covered with fog. You can imagine such morning scene, which you get chance to experience here.

We walked for 15 min on flat ground and we heard loud sound of waterfall coming from the dense forest down the hills from where this resort is located. We started down trail from the forest towards the waterfall from where sound was coming. After walking 15 min, we suddently come across the beautiful waterfall in the mid of the forest. This was Amazing. Just cant forget this place. We all enjoyed in the waterfall and spent almost an hour in the at this place. Below pictures will speak more than what I write.

After returning we have been served Garama Garam Kanda Pote and Kanda Bhaji. This was nice too. At around 10 am we checked out. It was raining slowly while returning to the home.

Overall this is nice place to spend one day away from home.
