Top places to visit near Ganpatipule and Jambharun As a part of our 3 days trip to Jambharun ( Blog Post :Hidden Gem - Jambharun ) , we had one day planned to visit the nearby places. Among them was Ganpatipule , which is significantly known for the revered Ganpati temple on the beach. I will list out the places to visit near Ganpatipule and Jambhrun in this post. Jambhrun is kind of a center point to all these locations, so you can start from one end and circle back to your homestay in Jambharun . 1. Lakshmi Keshav Mandir,Kolisare Keshav Lakshmi idol This was the highlight of all the locations that we visited. It had the same vibes when we visited Keshavraj temple in Karde(Post: Keshavarja Temple|Karde|Dapoli )
Visit To Prathamesh Resort Khed Shivapur

| Tents in Garden Area |
There are many resorts near Pune for a day outing filled with adventure activities but only few are able to fulfill the expectation of a 1 day trip or stay.
Prathamesh resort Pune near Khed Shivapur is certainly amongst those few resorts. It is spread across 7.5 acres of land adjacent to river with wide variety of stay options and various day packages.
How to Reach:
The resort is approximately 35km from Pune and one can reach either by car or bike. Once the Khed Shivapur toll plaza is crossed, we need to take service road and turn right and drive for 5km through a single lane road going through farm fields.
There are sign boards from the highway all the way to the resort.

We reached in afternoon at 12.30 pm, so decided to rest for 15min and go for lunch before starting with any activity. Lunch was buffet and taste was average, considering the rush on Sunday, restaurant was well managed.
Post lunch we went for the Rain dance and took a dip in the pool with kids to freshen them up.

We had kids with us, so we took alternate turns to entertain them(Things to do for parents 😄). Me and my friend decided to do Zip line and wall climbing activities while the kids did their activities.
While our wives took turn to do that we took kids to their rope climbing activity section. This section has both activities for kids and adults and I would suggest this to be a must do for all.

There are few paid activities as well like ATV ride, Rocket Ejector, Trampoline, Camel ride etc.
Apart from the outdoor activities, there are indoor activities. We felt here it would be enjoyable to have a decent size group to enjoy these activities and spend the late part of evening once it gets dark.

All the activities make sure you end up exhausted and hungry and the dinner served was delicious. It was buffet with mix of Indian dishes and continental dish to end with desert🍮🍵.
Post 7pm in evening to 9pm, there are indoor activities to enjoy, we could only play one round of Fooseball.
Next day, our wives did the High Rope crossing activities, that made sure it was paisa vasool moment for them 😜.

Prathamesh Resort Pune Review
One thing to appreciate is the premises and all activities are well maintained. The staff also is very friendly and you would see them busy whole day maintaining the premises.
There is good amount of greenery and many fruit trees in the premises, you can see Mangos and Chickoos hanging on trees.
Overall, it was great fun and worth a stay. If you are looking for 1 day resort or weekend resort near Pune for family get together with some adventure activities or friends group or team outing , Prathamesh Resort Pune is a good choice.
Pune is close to many beaches in Konkan. If you are planning a vacation with beach options, you can check out KONKAN DIARIES POST

ReplyDeleteVery helpful blog. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOne of the worst experiance of life... Pathatic... Pathatic.. Pathatic..
ReplyDeleteThey share photos on whatsap and actual room conditions were opposite...
These people are cheaters and ask full money before showing rooms... Pl do not pay before seeing rooms if you are going to stay....
Intoercom doesn't work so if u require somthing u need to search for staff and -need to go to the booking rooms... Pathatic aftre paying 8000 per room this is the condition.... Lights doesn't work.. open electrical wires... who wants to stay there with kids...!!!!!
Highlights of rooms.
1. Unhyginic room
2. Fungus on Tent all around
3. Rats are wandering around like they paid the price..
4. No dustbin in room
5. No floor mats.
7. badly maintained washrooms.
8. wety smell in rooms and in beddings...
9. Fungus on pillow.
10. No room service for 8000 room.. !!!
11. Spider and mosquetos frandly room....
12. Swimming pool facing rooms and swimming pool is full of dust and leaves... mosquitos and frogs are resting in it.
13. Manager is very very arrogant and when we complained about above points he says if you want to leave you can.
We have travelled with family and kids and reached in evening... We were force to leave the place in night same day as big size Rats were in the rooms.
When we complained, Manager came and checked and told there is no Rats as he is not able to find any... like Rats were waiting to give him Darshan and then only Rats exists else not.... This is the customer service they give... we left in night wh=ithout having food even as behaviour of Manager was so arrogant and attitude..
Its total waste of hard earning money.... NOT place for family...
Sad to hear that 😐 surely it's frustrating when the hotel manager behaves in such way.
