We are all done with the different phases of lockdown and their relaxations. It is difficult to reconcile ourselves to the misery inside the four walls and indulge in our routine. Once we wake up to hear that there are no recurring Corona waves and lockdown reaches doom, we burst into our longing normalcy.

We were geared up to chill, relax, & stay safe in our homes during the first lockdown. But now, each of us is awaiting to open our doors without masks covering our face, make parties with no social distancing norms, without fear touch all the places we visit and the list goes on…

Many of us would have planned the first place to travel when the COVID comes to an end. To add up to your travel list, Farm Stay would be the best idea. It would be a perfect retreat from our four-walled lives.

The warm and fragrant air, pure and sun-warmed water, seasonal and fresh food would refresh our mind & soul. It would revive our lives from the emotional roller-coaster we’ve gone through. There is no boundary concept like we had inside our homes. Nature is vastly an open place to explore, where she (nature) would shower her blessings on us. While resting in the farm stay, the smell of nature would waft through the cracks of the door, reminding us of her presence.

With our minds on a frantic search, chanting freedom from lockdown, this travel choice would craft cherishable moments with the frame of nature holding our hands and souls till the destiny of our life. It might also pave the pathway of your destiny place.

If you want to spend time with the lush greenery and get a nod from nature (heart), then catch the train to the following places!
