I visited the Saguna Baug at Neral yesterday with my friends
(hardcore management students!!). It’s a place known for Organic Farming,
horticulture, floriculture with a wonderful river which is a swimmer’s delight!
You all must have heard about camel ride, horse ride but here they have a
BUFFALO ride!! Saguna Baug has a lovely
green environment with unique trees and fruits. We all know the commonly said
names of these trees, but the English names of these trees are extremely
difficult to pronounce for a common man like me!
The ambiance is very village like with simple food and
hospitable people. The guides there are cordial and try to answer all odd
questions thrown at them! There is boating also in a pond within the premises.
Those interested, can enjoy fishing as well! But those who are faint hearted
should not attempt to catch a fish!! There are cottages and dormitories also
for those who want to rest amongst the woods or for those who want to stay
overnight.
The charges are very nominal and it’s worth every penny you
pay. It’s a 15 minute drive from Neral station and is accessible by a car also.
All in all, a very convenient place to head for a picnic/ trip/ get together!
It’s a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai. A
day there is sure to recharge all your batteries. So friends, if you have the
time, a good company, then pack your bags and head to a nice, simple, yet a
place seriously rich with nature called, ‘Saguna
Baug.’
Statutory Warning: If
you are caught plucking flowers/ fruits, there is a HEFTY FINE of
Rs. 500/-
!!!!
