Make Your Weekend a Perfect Getaway at the Best Resort in Igatpuri — Manas Resort

A perfect weekend does not happen by accident — but it does not need much planning either. It needs the right place and a loose, unhurried rhythm. At Manas Resort with Petting Zoo, the best resort in Igatpuri, the ingredients are already in place. Here is how a weekend unfolds when you let it.

Saturday morning — arrive and breathe

Leave Mumbai after an early breakfast and drive up the Kasara Ghat, watching the city give way to green. Arrive at Manas Resort by late morning, check in, and feel the temperature — and your shoulders — drop. Take a slow walk across the lawns before lunch.

Saturday afternoon — the petting zoo and the pool

After lunch, head to the petting zoo. Meeting the friendly animals and birds is the highlight of the trip for children and a surprisingly soothing hour for adults. Then it is straight to the infinity pool with its waterfall — the perfect way to spend a warm afternoon.

Saturday evening — good food, live music

As the light softens, settle in for a relaxed dinner. On weekends, live music adds to the atmosphere. There is nothing left to do but enjoy the evening air.

Sunday morning — a slow start

Sleep in a little. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, one more walk across the lawns, and perhaps a final visit to the animals. This is the part of the weekend you will remember most — the unhurried calm.

Sunday afternoon — an easy drive home

After lunch, begin the short drive back to the city, refreshed and already thinking about the next visit. That is what a perfect weekend getaway feels like.
