Where Nature BECKONS

Indulge in many experiences as you rewind, reconnect with nature, and repeat at Karma Lakelands in Gurugram. By BAYAR JAIN

IF YOU WISH to break free from the daunting, crowded, and urban furore of the capital, then Karma Lakelands is your calling.

Picture lush landscaped meadows dotted with pristine waterbodies and melodious bird calls ringing in your ears. Located just a stone’s throw away from New Delhi on National Highway 8 in Gurugram, this eco-conscious and luxury golf resort believes in the notion of harmonious living with nature. A range of nature-inspired activities in this 300-acre property is a testament to this fact.

With a wide variety of activities and experiences, Karma Lakelands has something to suit everyone’s interests. Whether you’re looking for a game of golf cricket, tennis, or squash with your buddies or wish to enjoy some quiet time under the mesmerising star-studded skies, the resort has you covered. As you hike through the property’s lush landscape in a specially-curated eco tour which highlights their eco-initiatives such as rainwater harvesting, bee farming, organic farming etc., your little ones can get busy in the dedicated kids’ play area. In case walking isn’t your cup of tea, special cycling tracks have also been laid around the resort. As you pedal away, you can spot many migratory birds who make the resort their home every season. Couple this with sightings of antelopes and deer during the nature trails for an added dose of wildlife adventure.

For a more immersive experience, Karma Lakelands has developed a special eco-hut called The Village, where guests can try their hand at activities like milking cows, vermicomposting, and bee-farming. While here, you can even choose to put your abilities to test at an obstacle course featuring tyre balancing, net walks, and even commando nets, or simply unwind with a rejuvenating meditation and yoga session at the ISHA room. At the end of it all, you will feel recharged and ready to take on the city again. karmalakelands.com
