Summary: Recently visited the place with bunch of my girl gang and we thoroughly enjoyed the historical experience, Warli workshop, food, local sight seeing, art and culture of this place. Sanjay, our local tour guide enilighted us with undiscovered facts that added more to our experience. A huge kudos to Mohit and his team for organising such a memorable trip where everything was so perfectly managed. Would definitely recommend everyone to experience trips with such a wonderful team! Hoping to experience future trips with Swadesee. Love, Komal Gupta

Summary: We visited the picturesque village of Vangaon for our Warli art workshop. Firstly, the journey here was simply beautiful. If you’re coming by road it’s a 2-2.5 hour drive down from Mumbai and the roads and are smooth, the drive is very scenic. On reaching, we met Sanjay who was our guide. We were greeted with hot yummy local breakfast (poha) and tea. Since ours was a private tour, we chose to visit the dam after we did a mini tour of the farms. The Sakkhare dam was gorgeous! We spent a little time here before coming back and getting on with the workshop. The workshop itself was great, we not only learnt to draw but also understood the meaning behind the symbols etc. To top it all off, we finished with a local, organic and freshly made lunch at Sanjay’s house! All in all, a well curated and wonderful experience. Thanks Swadesee and Sanjay!
