Ideal Father’s Day Getaways!
As the pages of the calendar turn, they bring in a whole season of festivities and celebrations, one perhaps more significant than the others, Father’s Day! With restrictions lifted in most areas, you can celebrate with your loved ones in person this year. And while we don’t need a specific date to remind us to celebrate ‘our rock,’ Father’s Day allows us to go above and beyond to show our dads just how special they are.
So, how do you choose a gift for the man who insists he needs nothing? While we can’t serve up the world on a platter, we sure can give him a heavenly slice of it. Read on for our recommendations for the best staycations in India!
Rejuvenate with Nature
After a year like the last, we all need a break from the constant stress and bustle of our lives. What better way then than an escape with nature, far away from work calls and the sound of sirens. Treat your father and yourself to the melody of hummingbirds, taking a moment to detox and cherish some quality time with the most important man in your life.

A meditation area for the adults and a campfire area for everyone is guaranteed to be a treat for the whole family.
