Pet perfect adventure

Karjat campsite, Moonstone Hammock

As uncertainty looms, we all dream of a sweet escape. Now, campsites have opened up keeping safety regulations in check, and welcome your pets, too. If you wish to make a trip, here are four close to the city that you can consider.

Camp round the clock
At their Karjat campsite, Moonstone Hammock hosts both weekday and weekend camps with glamping tents and ground tents. But every month, they also organise a dog camp that offers owners and their canines a sunset trail, live band, three-course meal and more. "Our next dog camp is scheduled for March. For now, we only allow dogs because they take well to the outdoors. We also have group activities with them like the marble and spoon game," says co-founder Pradeep Singh Choudhary. The organisers require you to download the Aarogya Setu app in order to visit
the site.

Green getaway

A three-acre space located in Vashind, Kisan Eco Farm boasts of fruit plantations, four cozy cottages and camping in tents. You and your pet get to be one with nature and play with rabbits and ducks, and feed the chicken, too. "I have my own dog on the farm, who also plays with the other pets. There's a beautiful river basin nearby that pet parents often frequent. If you bring a pet along, we charge a nominal fee for deep cleaning of the place you'll be staying in," owner Sarita Dhanavade informs.
