Thakran
Farms
Gurgaon, Haryana
Built
on a private land, Thakran Farms is 40 kms away from Gurgaon
and blissfully secluded from the modern world. Away from the
noise, light, or air pollution, there is not much that can distract
you from the surrounding natural beauty.
Exhilarating
days out-of-doors! Pleasurable evenings spent in gracious surroundings!
That’s life at the our farm. Nowhere else, you’ll find recreational
endeavors and social activities blend so uncommonly with an
ethnic atmosphere near Delhi and Gurgaon.
Over
19 acres of lush green land, crafted beautifully with hands
till the last stone, reflect the culture of our rural heritage.
Here, the famous hedge maze, obstacle course, mud bath, tractor
ride, camel ride and other exciting outdoor and indoor activities
will fill your days rather well. Your nights can be as busy
– or as lazy – as you choose. Rates are as you’d like them –
affordable, competitive, and fair.
Our
hedge maze is one of its kind and biggest in India. Spread in
an area of 2.5 acres, it will soon be operational with its 3
kms of walking path with 18 circles. Its centre is 80 feet in
diameter which can easily house around 70 people at a time.
The
farm also has hundreds of bird feeders and houses to attract
birds and increase their population. You can easily spot some
common birds like parrots, peacocks, sparrows, woodpeckers,
mynas, kits, kingfishers, and koels. We laso have a small pond
for ducks and fishes.
A
conference hall, specifically made for senior executives to
conduct their meetings, is also coming up. It is expected to
be completed by 2015 and will be able to cater up to 50 people.
Accommodation
Peaceful,
serene, and luxurious nature’s bounty – that’s how we’ve built
our huts for you, each 500 sq ft in size. You will get here
a million shades of green nourished by flowers that reflect
the joy of season, and canals that wind through the land. Surrounded
by such lush vegetation, you sleep in a comfortable, old-fashioned
village huts and wake up to the feeling of being renewed with
energy.
True
to our commitment towards using the natural materials to the
maximum, these residential facilities are traditional structures
that demonstrate the skills and craft of local villagers. We
have used the age-old technique of mud housing and natural ingredients
including rammed earth, cow dung, cob, straw bale dwellings,
thatch roof, Taat Patti (Jute) for artificial ceiling and bamboo
to make them as authentic as the place is and washrooms are
modern. With this technique the huts are relatively cooler in
summers and warmer in winters. Local village women do the lipai
of the floor and wall with mud, cow dung and straw on a regular
basis to keep the place fresh and unique. We would soon be adding
luxury Swiss tents that will be customized with style, keeping
the modern necessities in mind. The tents would have a modern
look as compared to the huts, and will provide a backdrop for
an adventure opportunity you would rarely like to miss. Currently
we also have provision for Camping depending on the season.
We have Quechua Camping Tents with comfortable Sleeping Bags.
Our
‘close to nature’ accommodation keeps in mind the other basic
requirements including ventilation, for which there are two
high air vents (front and back), space between flysheet and
ground all the way round. The air can circulate between inner
tent and flysheet, for better breathability and to limit natural
condensation. There is also a provision of using the modern
washrooms at the Farm with option of having quick shower under
the rain shower.
Dining
‘Jeeman Ka’ – Our dining, that you would love more for the experience
it offers, is designed with features of a village’s conventional
architectural style. It opens to the surrounding lawns and sets
serene setting for a meal that is ideal for celebrating your
time here.
‘Jeemna’
locally means to eat when you go out for a celebration. There
is interesting story behind naming it as ‘Jeeman Ka’. During
the construction stage at Thakran Farms, when restaurant was
under construction, villagers asked us what were we constructing,
and we said ‘Restaurant’. They again asked upon realizing that
they did not understand the concept of a restaurant, explained
them that it was a place where everybody could get together
and eat. It was then when they understood and said together
‘Achaa Jeeman Ka’ . Hence we named it ‘Jeeman Ka’, place where
you eat during celebrations.
Jeeman
Ka serves a menu of local vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine
with Desi Chicken Lohaka being the chef’s specialty. The vegetables
are farm fresh and offer the most authentic old-world flavors
you will ever come across. For your delight and unforgettable
experience Thakran Farms has own small free ranging poultry
farm which houses local Indigenous breed of chicken like Kadaknath,
Giriraja, etc. Kadaknath is local to Madhya Pradesh where it
is called Kali Masi ‘ Fowl having black flesh’. Kadaknath has
a rich medicinal value. We also have small Bater, Quail, Duck,
Turkey, Guinea Fowl farm and provide as per availability.
