ESCAPE TO NATURE.EXPERIENCE THE VILLAGE.

24 hours of lake, farm and forest — stay, all meals, waterfall, boating and campfire.

The Place

A working village farm on the edge of the backwaters.

Anand Sagar sits at Walne in Tapola, where hills fold into still green water. Days are spent trekking to the waterfall, rowing out on the lake and eating what the kitchen cooks fresh. Nights belong to the campfire.

The experience

You won't remember the room.You'll remember how quiet it was.

Anand Sagar is not a resort pretending to be a village. It is a working farm on the edge of the Shivsagar backwaters, run by Anand Nalawade and his family. You arrive as a guest and leave having lived one full day of their life — the lake, the fields, the fire, the food. Everything below is part of your stay. Nothing is sold to you again once you are here.

"We came for one night and left planning the next trip. The campfire and the waterfall were the highlight for our kids."

Prasad K. · Pune

Yes. Boating, the farm, carrom and the campfire keep children busy, and the property is quiet and safe.

Close your eyes for a second. Water, woodsmoke, someone laughing near the fire. That is the whole idea.
