For the farm experience
Farm of Happiness, tucked deep within Ratnagiri district, offers city dwellers the chance to get their hands dirty. The host, Rahul Kulkarni, used to be an ad man before he quit the corporate life to start this farmstay.

Getting to the property takes a little effort, as it’s located at the end of a series of winding pathways. But, once you get there, you feel all the weariness wash away. The home is built in the traditional Konkani style, and the food served is rustic and cooked using produce grown on the farm itself.
