Want to spend your long weekend near Mumbai or Pune ?

Then why don’t you choose somethings which is totally Agro Tourism farm still developed fully, with facility to stay in a pond house ! A nice picnic spot near Mumbai.
Yes, Goto Saguna Baug which is located just near Matheran, surrounded by Ulhas River.
Get back to old days of farming rural life.
Located very near to Neral, you can reach within 1.5 hours to this beautiful farming resort which spreads over 16 hectares of land in Malegaon-Neral of the Raigad district in Maharashtra.
I think this is one of the best park near Mumbai and Pune, suggested for Family outings, Couples, and kids picnic spot.
Saguna Baug Review- Neral, Karjat
There is an interesting story about establishment of Saguna Baug:
Mr. Shekhar, returned in 1976 from U.S.A. to persue the dream of his father Shri Harikaka Bhadsavle who was Gandhian freedom fighter. His fathers dream was to set an example for all in agricultural self-sustenance facility.
Today this Agro Tourism project has evolved the park to great extent, where hundreds of people visit each weekend. You can spend your weekends at the farm enjoying agricultural tours, the serene river, the culture and traditional village art forms.
Well lets look at more information about how to reach, stay in pond house, veg & non veg food, stay prices, packages and finally shopping.
