Morachi Chincholi - great place to visit

Must write about my visit to Chincholi Morachi. It is around 50Kms from Pune off Nagar Road and is famous for its peacocks. Well there are a couple of places which you can checkout –

We stayed at the first place ie Mayur Bag and opted for the overnight package. We reached late on Saturday and missed seeing the peacocks. We soon found out that we were the only ones staying overnight as currently there are only 2 cottages ready – one a “Tree cottage” and a normal cottage. Around 4 cottages are being built.
The tree cottage is great only issue being that the toilet is below and the room upstairs and can be a issue at night. There are modern facilities like TV (cable) and even a DVD player – but I am sure these can be given a miss during the overnight stay.
• Food is decent and a vegetarian and offers a good change.
• Service is again decent
• The nature is great – especially if the sun is not too strong.
• Tree House is great
• Don’t expect the peacocks to follow a timetable this is nature and also enjoy other flora and fauna.
• Children’s play area is good there are also a few Hanging chairs and hammocks for adults around the Campus.
• Drinking and non-veg is not allowed.
While a lot of people visit the place for a day trip, a overnight trip is a great stress-buster.
They say in the summer you will see a lot of peacocks, but then they don't dance. Winters and rain is the recommended time for a visit.
