Fort Jadhavgadh

June 11, 2011 by piyu

Our first ever weekend trip by car.

Even though we had a minor setback in the form of puncture, we got it resolved quick and were on our way! The Mumbai Pune Expressway is so pretty with the dark tunnels and cute yellow lights overhead.

Inside the tunnel (pardon the bad shot)

And we reached the hotel

The grand entrance

The hotel also houses a museum with artifacts from Maratha time. No photos were allowed inside the museum, but I did take this one outside.

Love the words

The lawns were serene, the air quite fresh and all we could hear was birds chirping nearby.

The hotel is picturesque and very luxurious. It had a very pretty swimming pool. We did not dare take a dip, since it had just rained and the temp had gone down. But it looked very inviting.

We had a refreshing and peaceful weekend. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a break from the city.

Due to some changes at work (which I am very happy about ), I don’t get time to update the blog during the week. Will try to cover up for it over the weekends.

    Yes .. first that too on the weekend! The rains keeping you indoors?
    You should definitely visit it. It is a bit expensive, but worth the money for sure . You should call them and negotiate a bit too. We got the Premium room a little cheaper than the rates mentioned online. Plus they have some kind of discount if you book 6 days earlier.

  It used to be a fort which has been converted to the hotel. Even the rooms walls are partly made out of stone. Very old-times like!
