WHY US
Banjara Dreams is no longer a dream. Simmering patiently in our minds for a long time, the urge to reconnect with nature pulled me, Sandeep and Taruna together to start this home stay. You can say the worldwide realization and changes brought about by the sweep of Covid19 also egged us on to try out something different.
Our tagline (`a boutique home stay for the young at heart’) means a lot more than it implies. It’s easy to arrive at Banjara Dreams, though it does entail a gradual walk of few minutes. We wanted it this way only. ``What’s the point of opening up a place on Mall Road? That would be hopping from one room to another. No, the place has to be a bit away from the crowds that throng the Himalayan town, but one which still remains tantalizingly close to the civilization,’’ we argued.
And thus, Banjara Dreams was born. It was not easy to start Banjara Dreams. Sandeep’s commitments in the media world of Mumbai hardly gave him time to make the turnaround. Taruna too, after she left the hectic Mumbai for the lush greenery of Dehradun, did not find it easy in the beginning. Nor did I, as collaborating with Sandeep and Taruna for Banjara Dreams would have taken me away from my pressing schedules of wildlife filming, nature photography and writing.
But we held on to our dream, right till the materialization of Banjara Dreams! It’s situated at the picturesque and completely pollution free Camel’s Back Road of Mussoorie. And from all its five rooms, you can view several spectacular Himalayan peaks.
Banjara Dreams is available for rentals to discerning guests, but that’s not about all. The new reality forced upon the human race by Coronavirus has already triggered several changes in the ways we think and behave. At Banjara Dreams, we will be holding several short-term workshops by leading experts, on subjects such as the art of writing, photography, painting, blogging, yoga, poetry, meditation and pottery making, to name a few.
To all those who share these passions and interests, Banjara Dreams welcomes you. Have a nice and meaningful stay!
