I visited Fort Jadhavgadh Hotel today as part of company engineering offsite. It is a nice place to spend quality time with your friends/family if you just want to relax.
Timings: We started from our company office on Senapati Bapat Road in a Volvo bus at 8 in the morning and reached Fort Jadhavgadh Hotel at 9:30. The fort is obviously on a hill so there were lots of scenery along the way to capture. There were no clouds or rain otherwise it would have been much better.
How to reach: We took the route
shown here. I don't know the exact route since I wasn't driving, but I did see the koregaon park-fatima nagar-saswad road combination.
Tariffs: The
hotel website mentions charges of around INR 5000 for a night's stay in tent with complimentary breakfast. If you want to go for AP (breakfast + lunch + dinner), it costs INR 7000. Add INR 2000 if you go for a suite. We weren't going to stay overnight and the company only booked a conference room. I don't know the exact charges that the company paid.
Food: We were served breakfast at 9:30 at the time of arrival, lunch at 2 and snacks at 4:30. All of them were delicious except for a few issues. The tea didn't have much milk, the poha was not cooked properly and in the lunch, the items were either very sweet or very spicy.
Activities: From arrival at 9:30 till 3:30, we were busy discussing the current and future of our company's software products but then we were set free to explore and play in the big ground the hotel has. People divided them among teams playing football, volleyball and cricket and I too tried my hands on cricket after a very long time. The hotel also has a swimming pool at the top but it was close at the time of our visit.
All in all, it is a nice place to visit and spend some quality time.
