How are you ? April is started already and how life is going? Steady or with full speed? Mine is going with full speed. Mini vacation are over and school has started. Again we are busy with school, study little bit and toddlers play time. Healthy dinners are the most important part of our Indian houses. We Indian families have everyday dinner together because it is the time where we meet each other and we talk with each other.  This was the scene of our childhood lives. Many of you agreed with it.  But,  In my house dinner time is where we strictly off the screens whether it is big or small screens and talk over the meal.  Dinner is the special time where we all have meals with discussion and laughter so we did it mindfully.  A healthy dinner has always been my goal. Earlier there was a house help when my baby was small but now we don't have any help. So the goal is to cook food at home and have a meal with the family, which is sometimes very difficult. But with meal planning I ma

Review : Pawana Lake Camping

By Neeta

Hello, 2021 

Year 2020 banged on us in every tiny manner. After a stressful year we all wanted to have a kick start of 2021 with happiness. This is our first vaccay of 2021 which was filled with craziness and thrill.😁

Camping is always a dream for me and Saee. She saw it on her favorite cartoon Barbie, Peppa pig and always asking me, “Mumma when we will have such camping picnic?

And finally Mr. Hubby arranged this thrilling picnic for us, Thank You Mr. Hubby!

What is Camping?

Camping is a stay at tent which is located near lake, sea or at hill side. It is really challenging to stay in a tent with no light, no fan (as these things are not required) under the beautiful sky with moon and stars and bonfire. Such a beautiful sight!

Well, camping is a booming now. You can find numerous camping at beaches and Lake Side. Pawana Lake has around 350 camping sites. The more important to choose the right one which is pocket friendly and have a nice arrangements with foods, beds and washroom.

Pawana Lake Camping

Pawana lake camping is one of the best camping sites near Mumbai, Navi Mumbai & Pune. It is the best way to celebrate the weekend with friends, family and college group. It is situated near the Pawna Lake where you can have beautiful Pawana dam view. Two day’s picnic where you can have your stay in a tent with rising sun .

 

You can have two sites:

# Lake side view where tent is near the lake.

# Hill Lake view where tent is on the hill with a lake view. And I think this is the best view where you can feel the beauty of sunset and sunrise.

How it is exactly?

I went with my family so it is kid friendly. You can take your 1 year baby too this place. 

# We booked our tent at hill side lake view where they have three floors. We were at 2nd floor.

# Tent size is on twin sharing basis. It is available according to the family size too. A good quality tent with warm temperature, proper bedding and blanket.

# The campsites are well illuminated throughout the night with beautiful light. Toilets and common area are well lighted.

What is the cost?

As I mentioned it is pocket friendly.

General range is Rs. 1000 to 1500/- Child cost is Rs.750/- (Below 10 year).

If you are going with large number of group you will get huge discount.

Check in time is at 4.00 to 6.00 pm

Check out time is at 11.00 a.m.


Meals: Meals include dinner, breakfast and barbecue

The most important thing is the food. They have all homemade food prepared at the site only. As soon as you check in you will get :

#Unlimited tea and Pakoda.

#Barbecue is limited - veg and non veg.

#Unlimited buffet- veg and non veg. We had chicken soup, chicken curry, dry chicken, roti and rice.

#Desert : Jalebi and Gulabjamun.

#Breakfast : Poha or missal paav. (Maharashtrian breakfast)

**Time is restricted. Dinner time start with 9.00 pm and end at 10:30 pm. After that you will not get anything.😑 If you go on weekdays you will be served as per your demand. Cost will be varied for that.  



Things you have to carry with you:

#Power bank for charging your phones and cameras.

#Extra blanket if you want to have your own. I carry two extra blanket as I am going with my kid and I like to sleep in my own blanket. But yes in the early morning the temperature was cold where you require two three blanket.

#Extra pair of clothes. If you are going with your kids try to take warm clothes and hand gloves. Sneakers are compulsory to warm up your leg.

#Take extra flip-flop. Don’t forget to take your toiletries.

#Sun screen lotion or face mask is the must must must. We forget and had tan on our face.😌

#The most important to have warm clothes like jackets and sweater.

 

Activity:

*Camping is filled with all indoor/outdoor activity.

*Swing

*Archery

*Carom-board

*Football or volleyball

*Badminton

*Dance floor with DJ music

*Mesmerize beauty of sunrise and sunset.

 

My review:

Rating : 4/5

Food was awesome but it is more spicy for me.

Bedding and bonfire was pretty good.

Take always lake view site which gives you awesome beauty. It is my personal opinion.

Washroom is also well lighted and clean.

No mosquito at all.

Staff is cooperative and Marathi staff who have always welcoming spirit.

And most important it is safe in all manner. Even only girls can have this camping.

Go early before 5.00 pm if you want to witness beautiful sunset.

 

What is the best time?

According to me this is (Jan to Feb) best time. Neither you have cold winter nor a hot summer. I don’t think rainy season will be good because sand and soil become muddy. This is my opinion. You can go as per your comfort.


So what are you waiting for? Book your seat with your friends and family and have blast on this Valentine.

    Wow dear, it seems you had a great time with this camping trip. yes, we as a family also love camping and in past, we had a great fun filling experience too with camping. but due to covid it has been long months, we did not have much outing or camping trip. your post has made me tempted to plan and go for camping with my family. I really like the way you had explained everything about your trip by including important tips and things to keep in mind.

Hi, there Excited to be a part of #Speakeasy2.1 blog challenge hosted by Dipika and Ruchi. Travelling is one of our (me and Mr. hubby) favorite thing. We do travel a lot and love to collect the memories and hence my blog is “Memory Flies”   As soon as I read the theme “Most memorable travel” my mind starts  hopping and makes me realizes our all memorable travels. It is very difficult for me to pick out the one. My dream destination of India is the South pole " KANYAKUMARI " and the North pole “KASHMIR” . Thanks to Mr. Hubby fulfilled my both dreams.   Today I am sharing my KASHMIR tour which was in 2018 with small kiddos and family. Traveling in hilly areas with small kids is not that much difficult. KASHMIR the word itself gives the feeling of immense beauty and  warmth. Kashmir is the place that you can feel and rejuvenate yourself. The peaceful nature and beauty of Kashmir attract travelers from all over the world every year. Due to its geographical location, it i

Happy Weekend.... Disclaimer: I am not professional; I am inspired by Montessori Method. This is my experience which is worked for us and wants to share with you. Depend on your child’s interest, you can start with the various activities which keep your toddler active and build confidence within them. Saee is 2.5 years now; I think it is the right age to start with her the learning activities. She also loves to play with different kind of activities which mumma sets for her, and asking more and more. Montessori is an education method which is based on self-directed activity, hands on learning and collaborative play. These are the basic activities for the children at different ages and to the individual personalities of each child. The main function is to help and allow the child to develop independence in all areas according to his or her inner psychological directives. I am sharing with you five easy and DIY (do it yourself) learning activities. I set up this activit

Bhatukali -How many of you know this game?  I guess kids in the 90s and before that must know BHATUKALI. Still, if you don't know, not to worry, stick to the whole post. End of an era of online school Gyan we learn from our kids :  Be calm, accept the situation and enjoy it to the fullest. Our kids enjoyed the school in the same way (like offline)Irritating the teacher by asking questions like which subject is today? Can we write? Which lesson mam? Are you sending this in what's app group? Etc.  For kids, it was more fun but the truth is they missed school, friends, and teachers. Due to online schooling, we are able to evaluate our kid's performance as well as " teachers" performance. We get to know the flaws and strengths of our kids. As a parent, we should utilize it. Now it is vacation time and still, we have to schedule our kid's day, is it really necessary? This means, nowadays schools have everything in their syllabus from guitar to painting. But still,

Happiness is selfmade

It was 1 st January 2020 when one of my subscribers asked me to write on “HAPPINESS” and I did not write at that time. Because it was a really challenging one. I did not want to spread any negativity from my post. I tried but it seems to be more negative. Then I looked back to my life and observe, what is really Happiness to me? Thank you, dear subscriber. As it leads to me in deeper thoughts.   Since my childhood happiness is not equal to me. Then I thought, “NO” there are more countable days when I was happy. Like I was happy when I had my degree, my first job, my marriage, my house, my vehicle, my kid, etc. I think these are the milestone in everyone’s life and everybody tends to achieve it. Yep, it is a different thing that we want something else and we get something. 😊 This is called DESTINY. You will get what you DESERVE! But, As human beings we tend to think about such things which we are not able to achieve. Might be for satisfaction or passion. It is perfectly natu
