Makar Sankranti is believed to be the most auspici Makar Sankranti is believed to be the most auspicious festival as it marks the upward movement of the Sun away from the Tropic of Capricorn; from the Southern Hemisphere towards the Northern Hemisphere. It is also called uttarayan, which means the Sun is moving towards the North. Happy Sankranti.

Images from the beautiful Fazlani Natures Nest, cl Images from the beautiful Fazlani Natures Nest, close to Lonavala where I spent a few days recently. Overlooking the majestic Sahyadri mountains, the wellness retreat offerd integrated healing treatments from recognized alternative healthcare principles. Every guest is given customized lifestyle rebalance plans after consultation with Ayurvedic and Naturopathy doctors and this place also has Equine therapy (see the image of the horse). There are cooking sessions (I learnt the beetroot risotto) and there is fresh, organic and seasonal produce. The farm-to-fork experience where fruits, vegetables, spices and a wealth of local produce from the gardens is delicious. And yes, the most amazing sunrises.

A stop at the local village was good fun. Food is curated as per your requirements and the best way to enjoy the experience is to observe the life of the people who live here. I particularly enjoyed watching birds and the bird book and binoculars were put to good use.
