Ingawale farmhouse (agro tourism) is a family-run farm stay set in the countryside of northern Satara. With stunning mountain views, surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place to relax and connect with rural Indian life. Among the highlights of the property are: a plunge pool, perfect for cooling down; a Machaan (watchtower) with 360 degree panoramic views of the mountains and fields; an eclectic bookshelf; and Open Air Theatre equipped with Netflix and other streaming services.
If you would like to participate in any additional activities on offer, like a night jungle safari and overnight camping at Meruling mountain, we are happy to arrange this for you. You are also very welcome to join in a variety of farm activities including cow-milking, seed-planting and harvesting. And you can even take a ride on our tractor! We also have bicycles and motorbike for rent to go explore the area. If you would like to discover the area, cycling, hiking and walking tours are possible in the surroundings and we can arrange a car rental service. For guests with children, we provide both an indoor and outdoor play area.
We offer home-cooked food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving traditional local cuisine using local produce and produce from our very own farm (my personal recommendation is the Poha for breakfast). We also sell hot and cold drinks, ice cream, and other snacks. Should you want to cook yourself, there is a fully equipped kitchen available to use any time.
Some accommodation includes a terrace and a satellite flat-screen TV equipped with streaming services, as well as air conditioning. All rooms come with bed linen, towels and toiletries.
