Hello. Thanks for dropping by my channel & now that you are here let me give you a brief introduction to the Gallivanting Soul.

I’m always in search of new places to see & new adventures to experience. Join me on my journey as I bring to you the real feel of a place, authentic & rustic just the way I like to live my love & passion for life.

Mahabaleshwar's BEST Kept Secret Club Mahindra Saj Resort l Oct 2024
Nestled in the lush greenery of the Sahayadris, Mahabaleshwar has everything you need to enjoy the perfect holiday - a superb climate year round, abundance of nature, adventure activities, and lots of great food.
Club Mahindra Saj, Mahabaleshwar is ideally located to enjoy all these, and more. It is easily accessible from Pune (120 Km) and Mumbai (265 Km), with excellent roads connecting them. Situated 6 kms km from the market, the resort is quaint & just off the main road.
You can try out the many adventure activities in and around the resort; go boating in the lake, and relish carrots and strawberries straight from the farms, go trekking over the mountains, or simply experience the slow pace of life on a hill station.
Mahabaleshwar is one of my favourite hill stations closest to home and I was glad to be back here again. You can check out my previous videos from here on the links below.

Wow ❤❤❤so nice place 💓 I wish in future I will also visit this place ❤😊
stick a flag in it and call it yours
Mam hum ye kaise book kar sakte hain ?? Chandigarh ride k liye ...plz reply ...
@@MRROMEO-vt9ry yeh ride Chandigarh Rose Garden festival ke time hota hai. Festival Feb end meh hota hai har sal. Online dates check karna aur activities meh dekhna ride hai toh online booking hi hota hai. Mere Chandigarh rose garden festival video meh thoda aur details hoga.
Is it near from nashik railway station
It is about 14 kms from Nasik station & will take about half an hour to cover that distance.
Hi, which month did you visit Bhutan?
@sonalsingh8019 hello. I visited end of May to early June. Earlier visit in 2018 too was same time of the year.
Wow my handmade Miniature bus model thank you mam 🙏🙏
Yes, it looks lovely, so I had to use it in the video. Thank you 😊
Nice information 🤗❤️ thanks 🙏
Most welcome. I'm glad you found it informative. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Worst place and useless people filled inside. The decoration seem to be good but they are really overpriced. Also, when i went to take some lights the salesman was just busy behind people who can or was to purchase a lot of items. Totally unsatisfied
@avionserrao7943 I'm so sorry to hear this. Yes, they are overpriced because they know that no one else has the stuff they do. A lot of expats & foreigners visit so they tend to give them more attention. I just go & buy whatever few things I need. Even cheap Jack that used to keep decorations earlier, was so overpriced. Most places in Bandra are. I find Andheri market stall & Crawford market (thou haven't been there in ages during this time) are cheaper.
Hiii Maam please send me owner ka number I m looking forward to book
😍❣️
@@hjbadhra 🥰🙌🏻
I came here after listening it in my environment class
Thank you 😊 That's so cool. Didn't know they teach this in environmental class. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Distance from Dwarka circle
It is approximately 20 kms & takes about half hour to reach the park.
do they have farm tour for visitors?
They do have now I've heard. I normally visit a regular farm for strawberry picking since about 15 years. He doesn't do tours but since I've been buying fruits & veggies from him since many years, so get access as I'm very careful too.
People are freely walking on them !!!! What a shame !!!
Sadly the gov hasn't bothered to protect these sites. Many were destroyed in road projects. Few villagers have enclosed sites that are part of their property & protecting it. I had to keep telling the kids with us not to walk on them. We were careful & moved along spots that had no carvings.
As you seems animal lover ...you are so much in love with animals that your dinning table too is full of tasty animals served to satisfy taste buds😀🙏🏻
Just like most vegetarians who love & consume milk but ignore the abuse behind the dairy industry. Humans have eaten meat for as long as we've been humans. It's absolutely possible to love animals, respect them, and eat them. I think it's odd that an individual would call themselves a humanitarian without considering where/how their clothing, electronic and other consumer goods are produced.
@GallivantingSoul love respect and eat them😀
@mannishsule how & why should it be of any concern to you what I eat. Get a life, instead of trying to look into people's plates & food choices. Now go milk your cows & eat some go bar 😃
@@GallivantingSoul Hi Mam😊 I do not have anything in personal with anyone here..all we should be concerned is about innocent animals. God has gifted humans with beautiful mind where we can love care respect and spare them or we can simply take away their life completely. Choice is always our what we do with this beautiful mind. We got best possible alternatives to survive satisfyingly. Coming to my personal eating habits am vegan. God has made beautiful eco system for all. If we see carnivorous animals eat other animals but they do not eat anything othr than that like leaves fruits pulses or othr what herbivorous eat. Being human we eat animals and othr stuff lik pulses green leafy fruits dry-fruits and othrs too. Our human body system is perfectly made for satvik food & thats why we rely upon plants and trees for survival. Yes your point is absolutely very concerning cows been forcefully impregnanted for dairy products and othrs. Even its vry much concerning where lot othr animals been killed and skined them for our othr needs like leather bags wallets shoes belts blankets make up kits medicines and othrs. I request all please atleast give second thot on all. Choice is always ours what we do with this beautiful gifted mind. But, if not we then who can. I dont not want to hurt anyones personal choice or any sentiments. Eagerly waiting for your new travelling videos suggestions for best getaways😊🤘🏻 Please take care!!
You may think you are being virtuous but you're just harassing a random stranger and spreading negativity. Please get off your high horse.
wHAT IS CHARGE THERE FOR E-RIKSHAW - Per person , per vehicle ?
E-rickshaw where? From which location? I haven't seen any & went in my personal car. One can go by train till Palghar. There are buses from the station to Hamrapur phata. From there you will get share auto.
Beautiful resort property ❤ Thanks for sharing the glimpse ❤ Hope you enjoyed the stay here ❤😊
Thanks. It was a lovely & enjoyable stay. Trip was amazing. Hoping to find time to edit the next episode of local sightseeing ❤️
You took your own boots or took fot rental?
@twinklingstars-d2y these are my own boots. You get gumboots for rental there.
@GallivantingSoul we plan to go next November. My youngest kid is 6 years. Is it okey to take kids to Gulmargh? I have visited there in summer.
@@GallivantingSoul loved your videos anyways... So colourful
@twinklingstars-d2y thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed them 🥰 I have a whole new summer series coming up on Kashmir. It's been delayed as I've been constantly traveling & busy with family commitments. Hope to start rolling them out soon.
Yes, you can take kids to Gulmarg. They will enjoy, esp snow activities. Carry proper winter wear like thermals, woolen socks, caps, gloves, jackets & good firm footwear. The ice can get very dangerous & slippery. I've had a few falls myself earlier. Avoid phase 2 as oxygen can get very low, causing dizziness & breathlessness. And make sure the kid doesn't run around. Oxygen is lower in winters & any form of strenuous activity can cause breathing problems & also pass out. Just take these precautions & you will enjoy. Also stay hydrated.
Very beautiful video. You've covered it up very nicely -from plucking to sundrying, processing and grading.
@AbdulHamid-fq3qx thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it & found this video informative. It's was truly a unique experience & I'm glad I could share this ❤️
❤ hi
@@Life_is_Awesome_Civil hello
Are waterfalls around Saputara still flowing with water in November? Can we rent bikes locally to explore them? Is there a budget stay option in places like Patel Samaj or Gujarati Samaj?
Nov would not be possible to see waterfalls as the ones there are mostly monsoon based. With the rains over all waterfalls have reduced or completely stopped now. The only rental bicycles I've seen are the double tandem ones that are used for short rides. Club Mahindra has bicycles for hire only for its guests & members. On my earlier visit when I went with my school friends, we stayed at Hill top hotel. Nice budget friendly place. Plenty of eating options at the main junction.
A wonderful getaway, covered well. Thanks😊
Thank you. Glad you like it 😊
We just stayed here for a weekend with family. It is an awesome place to chill and relax. It gets cozy at night and has this beautiful and positive vibe to it. Hope u met Hella, Niko and mongoose family.
That's great. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay here. Yes, the vibe at night too is amazing here. I've met Hella, Niko & also the Mongoose family. They are featured in this video towards the end. I always go say hi to them 🥰
Awesome vlog
Thank you so much 😊
Which is your favourite season/ month in kashmir?
Honestly, in Kashmir it's difficult to say. As every season is so unique & beautiful. Winter was always a favorite, but then I saw Autumn and was spell bound. Spring I love cause of all the flowers & this year finally saw Summer & even though it was so hot (I dislike heat) I couldn't help but marvel at my favorite lush green landscapes and enjoy the many beautiful valley's that are otherwise inaccessible during the rest of the year.
@@GallivantingSoul ❤️👍
So beautiful

Very nice
@malikmuzafar3270 thanks for appreciating 🙌🏻
Will I be able to see fall colours in the end of October?
@susmitaghosh3306 depending on weather conditions, you will definitely see the colours changing. I went end of Oct (30th) and saw the transition 😍 🍂

Wowwwww.. lovely blog that has refreshed endless memories of my stays here at Saj Resort.Used to visit Saj Resort almost 5-6 times a year from 1999 till 2015 without a break.Saj became my Mahabaleshwar home during those years.Thank you Merlin (Galavanting Soul) for this Beautiful Blog.❤
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely memories! 😊 Saj truly has a special place in your heart.
@@GallivantingSoul Absolutely and always relished the yummy food that they serve..
What about amount for one day and if we want stay how much pay
The rates are mentioned in the description box along with the manager's mobile number. You can speak to Manjunath & give him my reference. He's extremely helpful.
There are mini veg outside restaurant and public transport like auto...at walking distance?pl
There's a very small restaurant with basic food just at the entrance gate. Auto, you many get sometimes outside. Main road is few kms away. I can share an auto drivers number, that I had met the day I arrived by bus. He was reasonable & also close by to CM. The day he couldn't come, he sent his friend. Drop me a dm on any of my social media accounts & I'll share his info, since it's not right to post personal numbers on a public platform. He's reliable & very good. He even took me good local restaurants, when I told him what I wanted to eat. I carried back & had it in the room.
I adore this video,thank you many times ❤
@mirisimi870 Thank you so much for appreciating. Means a lot 🥰❤️
