A day tour at Saguna Baug

Saguna Baug a must visit place. The place is really awesome, surrounded by lush green hills, Ulhas River, farming field, and much other nature’s beauty.  This was my first visit to Saguna Baug and the actual experience was much more than my expectations. This place is not just nature’s beauty but filled with many other facilities that help us to make our visit more memorable. I went along with my office colleagues and final year BSc Hospitality Studies students. We met the actual owner of Saguna Baug Mr. Chandan Bhadsavle and he has shared few wonderful and helping words about his place with us.

Each one of us enjoyed up to fullest and along with fun and enjoyment our students learnt a lot many important things about agriculture and agriculture tourism. The place got amazing facilities such as Zip Line, Road Fishing, Drag Net Fishing, Bullock Cart Ride, Horse Ride, Segway Ride, Mallakham Show, Milking the cow, Snake Show, Boating, Cycling and Swimming and buffalo ride in river. Most of the things come along with package and for other facilities we need to pay reasonable charges. While enjoying all these facilities I had completely forgotten about rest such as office work, stress, and other petty things.

Food another one of the exciting features of this place. Food was very simple but with high quality hygiene and taste. They serve only vegetarian dishes in all meals but you can order separately for non-vegetarian dishes and pay according to order. The price range for non-vegetarian dishes is very nominal. Food lovers will enjoy this place with basic food and unique traditional style of preparation. Along with that they have served us the local beverage called Kokum Sharbat, which was tangy and sweet in taste. This is commonly found in coastal areas of Maharashtra.

While doing drag net fishing I got a chance to hold a big local fish Katala and the weight of that fish was nearly 10kg according to the employees of Saguna Bagh. Feeding the fishes in open lake was also a different experience otherwise we do feed fishes in fishing tank at our home. Also I caught 2 fishes while doing rod fishing and this was the first time in my life when I did fishing and got success at the same time. So I am really happy with that amazing experience. Along with that I have tried Segway rides, another unforgettable and new experience of my life.

Now the accommodation part, they have wonderful and comfortable accommodation facilities in the form of cottage room, Mud house, Pond House, and bungalow. We had rented the mud house. The interior and exterior is completely like village house. They have followed all the guidelines while constructing that mud house. They are planning to come up with few more mud houses. Pond house is another attraction point of Saguna Baug. It is situated in the centre of pond. But we won't get television in any of room so we will be able to enjoy the actual beauty of that place..

I am planning to revisit this amazing place along with my family. I highly recommend this place to everyone out there. A special thanks to Mr. Chandan Bhadsavle and his entire team. They have provided us extraordinary services during our visit.
