Rustic Plantations

 

 

When you have had enough of beaches, or need to get away from the madding crowd, drop everything and drive to Rustic Plantations. Situated on the extreme north-east tip of Goa, just a few days at this wonderful hundred acre plantation will be a rejuvenating experience of a lifetime.

The plantation is situated in a valley, at the foothills of Western Ghats. In this plantation you will find a variety of fruit bearing trees, timber trees and spices. For accommodation you could either live in cottages or in tents. The food is wholesome and home cooked.

Rustic provides a variety of packages hosting picnics, family outings, study tours, corporate workshops, and, camps only for ladies and senior citizens.

A number of nature camps are held there regularly. Children, usually 30- 40 in number, stay over at the plantations in tents. Activities for them include Nature trails, Nature games, Debates, Bird watching, Snake shows, Star gazing, Slide shows, Outdoor games, Dramatics, Personality development, Clay work, Origami and Camp Fire.

The owners Sham and Ujwala are very warm and friendly people. Sham tells me that they even organize sightseeing for the visitors staying over at the plantations. This includes visiting Hiverem and Charavne village, Bondla wildlife sanctuary, Tambdi Surla, the Brahma Karmali temple (only Brahma temple in the world), etc.

When I am at the Rustic Plantations however all I am interested in is soaking in the cool, gurgling streams that run through the plantations. I usually am alone when I visit the plantations so I cherish the silence as well!
