Traveling as a family with kids always has different holiday dynamics especially when compared to holidaying as a couple or holidaying with friends. Finding activities that your kids will enjoy and finding places that your kids would love always takes priority. And finding such places is not always easy, so we make it easy for you here.
Sherbaug Theme Park
A nature lovers paradise, Sherbaug is essentially a theme park that also provides luxury tent rentals. You can follow secluded nature walkways at your leisure, or don your swimwear and head to the water park area. If these are too tame for you, get into the horror house! Then calm your nerves by strolling through the cactus gardens. The grounds have ducks, exotic birds, and even rabbits if your kids like that. There’s a tree swing too, so you can relive your own childhood.

Dhom Dam
If water sports are your thing, Dhom Dam should be on your itinerary. Dhom Dam is a 30-minute drive down the hill from Ravine Hotel but getting here is an absolute must if you like jet skiing, kite surfing (own equipment required) or just some normal, old-fashioned boating. The boat club on the banks of the dam also serves some tasty Maharashtrian food and the owners have a reputation of being very friendly and welcoming.
