Making cocktails in the canopy machan - Room tour and more
Stunning, isn't it ! Yes, that was the view from the deck of my impressive Canopy Machan ! Built on the edge of a cliff, our Canopy Machan had a beautiful and uninterrupted panoramic view overlooking another mountain and a dense green valley below.
Hello & Welcome to the second part of our 3N stay at The Machan - a luxury forest getaway in the Jambulne Jungle near Lonavala. In our previous video we had taken you around the property and shared a glimpse of the tasty food that they serve at the restaurant there. Just in case you have missed watching it, click on the link above.
In this video, we will show you how a Canopy Machan looks like,a tour of the Spa in the property and two refreshing cocktails that we whipped up on the deck of our gorgeous Machan.
Machan in English means a tree house. From the time we entered through the Main Gate of the resort till the time we reached our Machan we walked through a path covered in lush greenery. As we reached the base of our Machan, I came face to face with my worst enemy - a staircase. Upon reaching the top though, it all seemed worth it. The location and the expansive view from atop was a sign how seriously the privacy of the guests is valued and how much the resort encourages their guests to simply enjoy and be one with nature.
As soon as we entered the Canopy Machan, we were stunned by the openness of the room. The room had a beautiful amalgamation of wood work and glass panels and provided a magnificent view of the landscape on three sides. The minimalist design of the Machan was something that appealed to us a lot.
Our Machan had glass panels on three sides, which meant the room was lit up by natural sunlight through most part of the day.
My favourite spot though, was the spacious deck which overlooked the valley. We were prepared to spend our next two evenings encompassed in the cool breeze, standing on our open deck which was thoughtfully designed to give us some much needed uplifting and rejuvenating moments.
I know that by now you guys must be planning your next trip to Lonavala and a stay at the Machan. To help you guys plan better, I will tell you more about the charges per night at the various machans within the property. So stay tuned !
The resort organizes few activities for its guests, like Bird watching, Stargazing and Campfire, but due to the weather conditions, they were temporarily closed. So we spent most of our time trekking along the nature trail.
On day 2 of our stay at the Machan, we booked a session at the spa. We both needed some pampering after the long trek that we had taken. The Spa is located at a quiet spot in the resort and the spa rooms like the machan also were designed to give you a view of the enchanting forest along with some much needed relaxation. The Spa offers many services. We chose to go for a Deep Tissue Massage which cost us about 2500 per head.
After the relaxing session at the spa we decided to enjoy a nice drink in the privacy of our deck. The Machan doesn’t serve alcohol but it allows its guests to get their own alcohol and enjoy it in their rooms. Knowing this, we came prepared.
Let me show you how and what we made for ourselves. The first drink that we made is our version of the popular cocktail - The Screwdriver. To begin with, we had some Orange and Cinnamon infused Vodka that we had prepared earlier at home. You just have to add a few orange peels and 2 inches of cinnamon to about 300ml of Vodka. You can then store it in a bottle for about a month. Now pour 60ml of this orange infused vodka in a tumbler. Then go ahead and add 60ml of fresh orange juice. Then add a few ice cubes, close the lid of the tumbler and give it a nice shake. Bring out a really cool glass to serve your drink. Now place a few ice cubes in the glass and strain the vodka into it. Come behind with either simple soda or an orange flavored soda like we did. Finish off by garnishing with a lovely orange peel and a straw.
Our second drink, My friends, is a really yummy one. We call it the Cranberry Rush. For this, in a tumbler add ½ an inch of ginger, a wedge of lime and 30 ml of lemon juice. Now muddle it really well. Then add a few ice cubes and 60ml of any Vodka of your choice. Close the lid of the tumbler and shake really well. In a nice glass, add a few ice cubes and strain the vodka into it. Now come behind with some Cranberry breezer. Garnish it with a lemon wedge and a nice straw.
And there you have it. Two yummy drinks that you can make on your next trip. Cheers !!
I hope you guys enjoyed watching this video as much as we enjoyed filming it during our trip.

Is it recommended to go in summer season?
Hi Vinaya
Monsoon is the best season to visit Machaan
In any case if you are travelling during Summers, it won't be an issue since the rooms are in the midst of a dense forest. So you won't feel the heat. Also, there's AC in every room
The 25k one room is for couple’s only or a group of friends stay in it?
All the prices mentioned are for two people only, except the Heritage Machan which can accommodate 4 people since it has two bedrooms
@@PlacesDishes okay thankyou.
Is this place safe for kids? I mean the balcony grills have glass?
Couldn't properly see in the video.
It's absolutely safe for kids. It's recommended that no-one step out on the night in general
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Are there concerns regarding the approach road to this place ....ie is the road ok for sedan cars
Yes... The roads are fine for sedan... It's just that you have to be a little careful of the pot holes of you are travelling during the monsoon season.... People with all types of vehicles commute on these roads daily. Also the last patch i.e about 500mt - 700mt isnt that great
Hi
How's the mobile connectivity and wifi connectivity in this place?
Hi Shivam
The mobile connectivity is only there at the reception. You can ask for a wifi connection at an extra cost.
@@PlacesDishes thanks for replying... Is wifi available in Room? As tomorrow i have booking and got some urgent office work on the same day....
They will give you a username and password but its not the fastest connectivity
You could spend some time at the reception or restaurant and complete your work before heading to your room
@@PlacesDishes Thanks for the required information. This will really help. Cheers 😊😊
Hey Shivam
Hope you are having a great time at Machaan
In case you make a social media post, we will be happy if you tag us
We are there on Instagram as well as Facebook
Ciao !
Wow 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Thank you
What was the all over price of this machan
Room charges -15000 per night for the Canopy Machan + 3000 taxes
Food charges - 1000 plus taxes per person for non veg buffet
Spa charges - extra
So for a 2 nights stay at the Canopy Machan with breakfast and two meals would be somewhere around 50000 for a couple
That was the price at the time we stayed there ! It also increases during peak season. Luxury, privacy and peace is something that they charge you for !
nice
Thank you

Is smoking allowed in the rooms?
Hi Enasni, Smoking is not allowed in the rooms as it is a wooden structure and is a fire hazard. There are designated smoking zones.
@@PlacesDishes Ooops then this place is not for me, thanks for the help anyway. Take care, bye.
I saw this video but it was a bad experience only looks good in pictures reality id far different.
Oh really?!? Would you like to share with us your experience?
Can we take our own liquors here?
Yes you can. Also, there are no liquor shops nearby. So it's advisable to carry your own liquor and have it in the privacy of your room
