Explorer never Quits....

Take Vacations, Go As Many Places As you can,

YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE MONEY A strong believer in friends….

Born on 8th of October; makes be a Libran but I have never believed in star signs or birth stones. I believe that it’s your upbringing that makes you what you are. I got into organizing events and trips right from my college days. I used to be approached by different college groups to help them organize one day and / or overnight trips. I was always welcomed into the groups that I assisted to orga

nize these fun outings. This made me popular and also helped me make a lot of friends including girls; something what other boys would die for…. From college life moved on to be called as work life. I soon had to earn and arrange for my bread and butter for me and my family; I had to work!!! Work did not take my passion to organize trips away, it only enhanced my ability to better the trips. Trips were happening and this time it was for different teams and departments from within my organization. Not knowing I mastered the art of organizing trips. I would now present my buddies, colleagues, associates, managers and friends with presentations and other print materials that would give them a gist of what can they expect from the trip. This got me into limelight in my company. I have now been approached by many professional adventure companies to assist them organize their trips. Most of these are working on professional level with different websites that boasts about their reach and access. I refuse to take any profit/ service charge from them and soon refused to assist them looking at the money they charge the participants. I strongly believe that trips and tours should be with friends for fun and not for profit. I organize trips to enjoy as a hobby and not for cost. I keep it simple – I am here in this world to make friends and travel with them.

Sai River resort – A Bollywood Style Work-cation!

When I visited Sai River Resort earlier, I was convinced that this place will be a great place for spending time with your team members, little did I know that I would plan a workcation with them. With moving into Hybrid model, we now meet our office friends & colleagues once a month. Other days we are busy with our deals and often days of work do not match hence we decided to have at least one day to work from a common location and at common work time for all, this time we decided to meet and work from , .
We rolled out a poll to understand who all would join, with the count we approached the resort team to provide us an all-inclusive cost structure. They gave us an attractive costing and offered us Stay, all meals, access to mini-waterpark, swimming pool and many adventure activities. The offer was lucrative, and we blocked 6 rooms for a Friday.
The resort is at 2 hours drive from Mumbai, not calling it a hidden gem near Mumbai, in 3 cars we left from three corners of Mumbai, out logistics were all sorted. We met at Mc Donals in Kalamboli for a pit stop cut breakfast break. This McDonalds is a favourite spot for travelers moving towards Pune, Mahabaleshwar, etc. to assemble so they can continue their onward journey together. It’s 1.5 to 2 hrs away depending upon traffic or location you stay in Mumbai, which is a perfect time to take break for some snacks and natures call.

Sai River Resort

In 30 minutes we were at Sai River Resort, they helped us for a quick check-in process and gave us our rooms just opposite to the reception. I would say the location was the best as its close to parking, reception, restaurant and just next to adventure sports section, we dumped our bags and left to explore the resort.
There are some beautiful on the back side of the mini , we then walked towards open where we could hear the river flow. River is not clean and is best avoided, but the lawn was green and had few trees where we clicked group pictures at. At the backside of the restaurant there is a section for indoor games where you will find games like Carom, Chess and Table tennis. Then you have a with up to 4”5’ height and next to this pool is the mini waterpark.
Considering it was workcation we had limited our work but we did have to login and manage other ad hoc work. We all returned to our rooms to log into the systems and manage work before we head out for our buffet lunch. Lunch had both Veg and Nonveg food with multiple veg items, one non-veg item and they also served a sweet dish. Meal was fulsome, we quickly returned to our rooms to tackle work. Our next session at resort was at 4:30 where we were all meeting for . There were quite a few activities and the entire group participated, the resort took full care by providing us harness and helmets for protection. It took as almost 1.5 hrs to finish all activities, from here we rushed towards the restaurant for our hi-tea. They had some sandwiches, tiny vada-pavs, fries and tea. The team decided to take a dip into the pool after Hi-Tea however I could not as there was an ad-hoc call that got scheduled. I decided to take my Laptop and work by the pool, there were 15 mins before my call could start and I couldn’t resist the pool. I jumped into the pool for 15 mins and just before my call I got out to work. I felt like this was a scene from some Bollywood movie as I never dreamt that I would do something like this in my life. It was a 30 min call and like always I killed it. My stake holders were happy and informed that I am with my team at a resort having fun – I am blessed I must say. That was my last call of the day, I shut my Laptop off and enjoyed rest of the day with my friends. After spending some 2.5hrs in the pool we freshened up and assembled for dinner. Meals were decent, they also served us Ice creams after dinner.

While the sun had set, shift hours had finished we were not yet ready to call it a day. Some of us had planned for a session of fun, music, songs, and games. The session went on till the wee hours, a few started to leave and hit the beds while others continued to sing and be merry. Eventually everyone slept as next day was only a few hours away, we had to get ready, check-out and head towards our homes. It was a good and eventful day for us, we did make memories for sure. While I write this, I have some souvenirs ready for the ones who made it to Work-cation!

Amboli : Living Amidst Clouds, Chasing Waterfalls, Mountains Calling, Jungle Treks and a lot more.

I was talking to my friend about taking our families to . I knew my family would enjoy being surrounded by clouds all the time - and trust me, I’m not exaggerating. I also wanted to take my daughter to a waterfall so she could get an answer to her question - “Why does daddy make so many trips?” My friend was immediately sold. We decided on dates, made travel bookings and organized our stay.
My first visit to Amboli was incomplete as I met with a minor bike accident en route to Amboli. I have a titanium rod in my leg due to that episode. Later when I was with my friends there, we updated our definitions of paradise during the visit and decided that we should get our families to experience the same. The previous visit was the inception of our current family plan.
Train ticket bookings were done by my friend staying in Thane. Usually, he selects Thane as the boarding point and he did that this time too. Considering the health and age of my mother, I preferred to board from the starting station - CSMT. I kept hoping that the TTE would make a visit only after Thane passes since that’s generally when they start checking tickets. But this time I encountered a not-so-lazy TTE who decided to check immediately, and I was penalized for my early boarding. All my reasoning and pleading were ignored. The penalty was not very steep so I agreed to pay - I should have paid it upfront as I knew I was wrong.

Boarding Train to Sawantwadi
My friend boarded the train with his family from Thane. Unfortunately, Central Railway did not put right information about the coaches and their positioning from the engine on Thane station. They had to do a little running around as the information provided in the app was also not accurate. I can only imagine the pain senior citizens have to bear when the platforms or coach positioning changes. IRCTC should pay attention to this and take measures to update its apps. The trains are vestibuled, and you can hop on to any coach but then moving through small passages with luggage, taking care of children and senior citizens of your family especially when the train is moving is risky. Thanks to the current government that we have escalators and lifts at most platforms - I’m not taking the name of the party to avoid political debate/mess.
It was a decent travel till , especially with so many local vendors selling fresh and delicious snacks. Train journeys always bring nostalgia to me. When my father was alive, he would take us all for trips every year in trains; those days we did not have much money, but the days were good. Today when I have the money, my father is not around - how much would I love to take him to many places. Anyways…

Car-on-Hire through someone you know
Just before arriving at Sawantwadi, I called the guy I hired. The train touched Sawantwadi an hour late. The driver received us and took us to a lunch home for our food. We were lucky as we were the last customers that lunch home allowed that day. The food was very homemade-like. The good part of such places is that they are easy to digest, do not have any harmful effects and are also pocket-friendly.
The driver/owner of the car who took us there was through a friend. He did not provide costing details beforehand and kept saying - “We will look at it later; you have come through a common friend.” At the time of making final payments, he turned out to be a disaster - he charged us twice the normal rate. I even sent him a screen snip of other cab vendors and their charges, but this guy refused to reduce the price, saying that it was his normal cost plan. He taught me a lesson; never book through someone you know as you then have to accommodate them. Hopefully, he learns his lesson too and stops taking tourists for a ride - you know what I mean! It took us an hour and a half to cover 38 km from Sawantwadi station to our resort in , and we were charged INR 5500 for this trip.

Whistling Woods Resort – A Family run business owned by a Butterfly enthusiast.
We entered Amboli and checked into the rooms we booked at Whistling Woods, Amboli. This place was surrounded by flora and fauna, and the environment there was super. We were literally put up amidst clouds. This property is run by a family, and they take good care of their guest. The owner is a butterfly enthusiast and even has a book published on butterflies. He makes it a point to come talk to every family staying at his property. He was kind enough to arrange rooms for my friend and me side by side. To ensure both families were put up together, he had to revise allotment of the rooms and rearrange bookings. This day was a rest day - upon reaching, we had planned the rest of the day to take rest, take lazy strolls and breathe fresh unpolluted air.
When I booked the property, I kept asking the owner to share an account number or some link so I could transfer a portion of my booking amount to ensure the rooms were blocked and not provided to anyone other than us. To this, the owner kept saying - “Do not worry; the rooms are blocked, and you can pay once you get here.”
The only miss here is that they do not have a restaurant within the property. They have tied up with another restaurant not far away. You can order lunch and dinner as per menu provided. Alternatively, you could tell the team in advance what you would like to eat for dinner, and they will keep it ready at the time you decide on. You have a hall-like room with a dining section towards one side and a library on the other side. We had all our meals here; the food was delicious and home-cooked style - home-style cooking ensures no heartburns with excessive spices or masalas and no tactics like using soda in food making you feel full with less food quantity they offer.
Your stay options included breakfast prepared by the owner’s family/cooks, and they have limited options - Poha, Upma, Sheera and Bread butter with tea. This does not change irrespective of the duration of your stay.
On the second day of our stay, my mother started longing for a paratha. Earlier, I thought it was only my family, but other families who stayed there were also complaining about the lack of options. Regardless of how you operate, you are in the hospitality business and you need to ensure that your guests are taken care of. Hire a cook if needed and organize better breakfast. Not forgetting food plays an important role in deciding your stay - at least for a tourist.

Sightseeing Amboli
There are quite a few options that one can engage in while in Amboli. All these options can be covered in a day’s time, so it’s enough if you have one complete day here at your disposal.
Its star attraction is the or the Stair-waterfall that you may have seen on multiple social media platforms and YouTube videos. This is the most crowded place, and with experience, I can say - in order to enjoy this place and let its majestic experience sink into you, plan on reaching this place by 7 am if not earlier. By 8:30 - 9 am, you will see it getting crowded. The most irritating kinds are the reel makers who block the routes and keep asking you to get to a side. We are here from far to enjoy; there is going to be a rush of humans coming here. You may please want to make editing in your recordings; do not trouble others for your videos. Climbing the steps and some rocks, we got on a decent spot to enjoy the waterfall. Yes, we clicked pictures and videos too - but without troubling anyone!
After Amboli waterfall, we generally would head towards . The place is good, but we had to give it a skip keeping in mind that we were traveling with senior citizens and children. To get to Baba falls, one requires a small trek. Also, this year the rains decided to play hide and seek - leaving most waterfalls dry or low on flow. After enjoying the Amboli waterfall, we relished street food just across the waterfall. There are a lot of snack options for you to enjoy but mind you - only if you are used to street food or you may have some digestion situation.
We then headed to our resort, changed into dry clothes and sat for our light but second round of breakfast. After breakfast, we went sightseeing. Some of the options you may want to include in your itinerary are , Point, River origin point, , waterfall and . Don’t forget to take a detour wherever you feel like.

Way Back Home
We wanted to take on our way back. The train had no stop at Sawantwadi, so we boarded the train from Kankavli. Our overall experience on the train was super positive. The seats, air condition, power switches for electronic devices, windows - everything was superlative. Washrooms were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was well-trained too. For now, the train is in testing mode and hence the number of coaches is less; our train only had 5 coaches.
Our boarding time was 2:20 pm; they did not serve us lunch. However, by 5 pm, they started serving us snacks. The food quality was good - there were authorities that inspected food before it was served to passengers. By 8 pm, we were served dinner; the quality of food was really good.
Trains these days have auto-closing doors; it’s a development sign. However, I personally feel there are positives and negatives attached to it. One cannot get down at platforms as the doors may close and the person may be left out. Also, people who were able to just make it to the station could not board the trains as the doors were all shut and the train started to move. Had it been another train, that guy could have boarded it. There are almost no jerks felt inside the train.
We walked up to the executive coaches where the seats are a tad bigger and they rotate 180 degrees; one can also sit facing the window. All-in-all, it was a wonderful trip filled with experiences.
Next would be a trip to Goa; we will be traveling via the same trains then too. I can then compare how journey via Vande Bharat is after completing its testing phase.

Bhandardhara – Kolthambe waterfall and many more scenic waterfalls

It seems like every takes at least one trip during . is a popular hill station for during rains, but those who can’t reach Lonavala plan a trip to Mumbai’s own Sanjay Gandhi National Park - SGNP. This year, there has been a sudden increase in nature lovers and waterfalls have been calling many people. This has resulted in an excessive number of revelers at waterfalls. The most preferred places for waterfall hunting are Lonavala, , - and . We shortlisted and planned a trip to waterfall located in Bhandardhara.
Before I provide details of my Bhandardhara trip, I will mention a short note on my Sanjay Gandhi National Park trip.

– A Walkathon with Dip in streams
SGNP was super fun and it was raining heavily on the day we visited. Streams that flow inside SGNP had strong currents. We took a dip in a couple of streams, ate fruits, and backed it up with lemon water. One can find healthy food inside the national park. You can also spot wild deer strolling at proximity to humans here. There have been many developments inside SGNP lately, like new rest houses for overnight stay have been constructed. These can be booked through NIC office inside the park. One must note that cars and bikes are not allowed inside the park, but there is ample parking available near the entry; however, the parking charges are steep. Entry fees have also increased to 85 rupees per person. also issues annual passes for walkers; walkers’ time is 5 am to 8 am and visitor timings are 8 am to 6 pm. It’s fun to visit SGNP during monsoons.
Our purpose to visit SGNP was that we had enrolled for a walkathon event through our workplace. This event was spread over a few days and aimed for employee fitness. As an incentive, NGO offered to plant one tree against 25000 steps walked by teams collectively.

Kolthembe waterfall – Bhandardhara
Kolthembe was a suggestion from my friend Ananta Kshirsagar. His suggestions have always been interesting, and we were all aligned. Sohail Maniar, who is an expert solo traveler, agreed along with Nilesh Pawar to join on our waterfall chasing trip. We are all nature lovers and love waterfalls. The plan was soon ready, and we were all waiting for the day of trip. In the meanwhile, there were many news articles about the number of people visiting waterfalls all over. At many places, there have been stampedes reported and there have also been a couple of unfortunate episodes where some revelers lost their lives. News in papers is always negative, but we did not let these articles dampen our mood.
We left early at 5 am as we wanted to avoid traffic on roads and human traffic at waterfalls. One of your friends, Abhishek Salgaonkar, who is an avid trekker suggested a route that was expected to be scenic with fewer potholes but a bit longer. We followed his guidance and found the route was fantastic - all green filled with many big and small waterfalls, a lake and dam on one side waterfall on the other - couldn’t ask for a different paradise. We couldn’t stop yourselves from stopping at these waterfalls to click pictures. We were early so that ensured low or almost no human traffic. We got some excellent pictures, but the flip-side was that we ended up spending a lot of time and got delayed. By 2 pm you were at the entry point of Kolthembe waterfall. Here you had to register with local police and then drive for some 11 km followed by walk and fun time under the falls. While in the queue, we changed our minds; instead of reaching there and being a part of heavy crowd, we opted to return to waterfalls you met en-route. Taking a pit stop for lunch, you headed towards other waterfalls. It was a good decision as you got enough time to spend at the falls, click pictures, take videos, enjoy time under the falls.
With some satisfaction and a tab on time, we had to curtail our trip. We got back to our cars, changed into a dry set of clothes, and returned.
We returned with super experience, fond memories, and fun moments.

The Taj Mahal Palace, Open Bus and Buggy Ride

The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai
Taj mahal was on my to-visit list but it had recently gone beyond my financial capacity considering its popularity and cost. I happened to talk to my sister, and she arranged a visit to .
Upon reaching the hotel we were given an Indian style welcome with a Tika on our foreheads and a Tulsi garland. They informed us that there is a session covering and we should take it, we booked ourselves for the session at 3pm. A Sr. guy walked us through the corridors explaining us the heritage, property, and walking us through numerous pictures of celebrities, right from Neil Armstrong, Jawaharlal Nehru, British officers, and explained how the hotel survived an earthquake and bought a nearby Green's Hotel and built . The pillars, fans, architecture, and the history of selling movie tickets, also handwritten flight tickets for owned . The heritage is rich, I must say. Post our tour, we joined Hi-Tea for tea and some snacks, we even had our dinner at the Taj. Food at Taj is awesome however felt the spread for dinner was decent.
I checked hotel rooms, the Rooms are gorgeous, they have big bathrooms, they decorate it if you wish to celebrate anniversary or birthdays, usually there is cost involved. They provide you Cakes in case you have booked the room. Taj Mahal Palace is famous for its breakfast & , in case you get an opportunity do reserve tables, they have a never-ending spread for breakfast.

More…
1. Open Bus - tour on open City Bus
There are these city bus that take you for a Heritage tour, they cost you INR 150 per person. Children below 3 are free. The bus route was Gateway of India – Wilson College – Gateway of India. It covers many places like Mantralaya, Nariman point, CSTM, etc. There is no guide, or the conductor does not call out to look at any of these places. So, if you are with someone who knows these places you will spot them else its just a ride in an open Double Decker. INR 150 is worth the round in open bus, especially during evenings and night time.

2. Buggy Ride : Horseless shaped like the erstwhile Victoria’s from Nariman Point
These vehicles are available from outside Trident hotel, you can opt for one of the two routes. Small Route starts Trident Hotel, makes a U-turn at Hotel Marine Plaza, and brings you back to hotel Trident, it costs INR 500/-. The longer route is a U-Turn from Wankhede Stadium, it costs INR 1000/- They can take routes of your choice provided you are ready to pay cost of their choice.

Overall, My day was well spent, we all returned with fond memories.

Monteria Village - A Short trip to 1990’s
Traveling has helped me gain knowledge and experience that cannot be found in books. I have made sure that my family benefits from it as well. Even if it doesn’t provide knowledge, it certainly recharges oneself. When deciding where to go next, I considered the factors of summer, cost, and time of travel. During my research, I came across Monteria Village in . They advertised games and a lifestyle from the 1990s, which became my deciding point. I visited their website to check availability and cost structure.

There are different stay options available at different costs, including options for a day visit. I was interested in staying in the , but its prices were steep. The prices for other rooms were also on the higher side. I almost decided to drop the idea but then someone from the sales team assisted me with a decent discount, making it a little easier on my pocket. I feel that only because it was a weekday stay was, I showered with discounts. Even after the discounts, I wouldn’t say that the costs were aptly priced.

We arrived at at 10:30am, but check-in time was not until 1pm. We finished our check-in formalities and were offered breakfast at an additional cost. This got me into comparison mode because I had been offered breakfast at no extra cost at other places in the past, and those places had not even charged me 50% of the total cost charged by . I agreed to pay extra and was expecting a lavish breakfast. We had to walk in the summer sun to reach the dining place, but we were informed at reception that there were available that could take us there. The golf cart driver came to pick us up but mentioned that senior citizens could travel for free, while others were required to pay Rs. 50 each. I explained that I could not leave my mother alone as she needed help sitting down and getting up, but the driver said he would need to follow the rules. We agreed to pay him the amounts as per policy, but when he dropped us off, we realized that the place was only a walk-able 20 steps from the reception. Rs. 50 per person for 20 steps seemed too high. I could understand charging people who did not need the cart, but families staying at the property and especially families traveling with senior citizens should not be charged for it. Breakfast was okay - not very great - and the spread was bare minimum. After breakfast, we explored the place a little bit, but it was too sunny and we had to return to reception so we could get into our rooms. We decided to explore the place after 5pm when the sun goes down a little bit. By 12:30pm, we had been allotted our rooms.

So my overall experience at Monteria village was
1. Rooms: Bunga Suite is awesome but expensive without discounts
2. Property: it’s a 5 STAR property, without any doubt. Superb!
3. Pool & other Activities: Two , the one reserved for residents is a zillion times better as the one for day visit members had a lot of chlorine, but it was big and had music plus rain dance. There were many activities including games from 1990’s, magic show, puppet dance, etc a few were free, and some were paid – over all good stuff only if they could keep them running till like 8pm.
4. , awesome but sadly they shut it by 5pm as per the pamphlet shared at the time of check-in. Avoid during Summers!
5. Food:
• Breakfast – It was just okay, a Bigger & better spread expected as per the cost of rooms. But still better as compared to other meals at Monteria village.
• Lunch – I personally felt the quality of food can be compared to the resorts that charge you 1250/- per person for stay with all meals. From the two nights stay we skipped lunch on our 2nd day to save ourselves from the quality they offer. They need to work on the spread & provide quality choices.
• Hi Tea – can be skipped, totally hopeless. I attended one Hi-Tea session, the pani-puri section was empty, sev-puri was so-so. I guess you should skip it for sure. Tea is also not that great, instead make tea in your room with tea kettle they provide.
• Dinner – This was one of the best meals when compared to other meals. The spread was better, it was only missing Ice cream and a lemon or similar drink.
6. Room Service: Room service was bad, I called for water, spare towel for the extra paid adult but it took them forever to arrange it. They delivered water, and I reminded them of the towel, but we did not receive it. Later in the evening I got one after showing my dis-satisfaction, the staff blamed it on the morning shift. Overall, the staff also lacks customer service skills. I had some important office work, I personally called the reception, letting them know that instead of 10:30, I will vacate by 11:00am. Considering their check – in time is only at 1:00 pm they should have accommodated it, but they came on me strong, asking me to give Rs. 900 per person if I wish to delay the check out.

If I must summarize my personal experience – The property is excellent and can be visited during Monsoon and Winters. Please skip it during summers unless you plan to only spend time in the pool. Cost-wise it’s expensive, you can get better places with similar activities at much cheaper rates. Food not worth the cost of the stay, possibly for a day visit with office colleagues would be alright.

Will I return, mostly not but again that my opinion – yours may differ.

Aqua Imagicaa- Waterpark near Khapoli
Expect Summer vacation Rush
Entry fee + Locker Rent & Deposit
Good Rides - prefer float based rides

Aqua Imagicaa – Waterpark & Comparison

A small same-day return trip to Imagicaa theme park with 3 members. The news spread and many others showed interest to join. We welcomed all with open hands and the count soon reached 13. Considering summers, friends suggested if the destination could change to Aqua Imagica. With a voting, we realized almost everyone was ready with this movement and now the count shot up to 18 friends.
For cancellations/ changes, we contacted team requesting them to move their booking from to . We were told that our existing tickets need to be cancelled and there will be a penalty of 25% for this. After a lot of pursuance, they agreed to take cancellations with 100% refund. We were made to make fresh bookings for and our money will be reversed only after 15 working days. They cold have easily opted to utilize the same amount and charge us or refund us the difference.
On the day of the trip, there was a drop of a couple of members. We decided to offer these tickets at discounted prices to a group that were yet to buy tickets.
Completing all formalities we changed into appropriate clothing, kept our belongings in lockers and were ready to hop on the water slides by 12 pm.
The slides without floats were a little risky as most of us had to drag and push ourselves out of the slides. These slides were not manned to ensure the next person comes only after the one enjoying the slide is out, which made people bang one another while inside the slides.
When compared with age-old Water Kingdom located in , Aqua Imagicaa is a smaller water park. A lot of the slides at Aqua Imagicaa are different and better; however, wait time of over an hour for slides is unacceptable. The wave pool looks to be a kiddie pool when compared to the one in . There are many other slides in Water Kingdom that are thrilling. Water Kingdom is accessible within 30 minutes and is in Gorai-Borivali. It should be a ‘to-visit’ waterpark for Mumbaikars as it saves travel time and money. Parks like Aqua Imagicaa and Wet & Joy are also important as these keep established waterparks on their toes, pushing them to keep improving. Another point – to enjoy these amusement & water parks, try visiting them during weekdays. I definitely prefer Water Kingdom over Aqua Imagicaa but I leave it for readers to make their own choices.
