The National Capital Region (NCR) is the hub of all activity and it sustains our modern lives. But, it has also left us bereft of something quire intrinsic; disconnected from nature. After having drained every bit of spirit, the primitive functions enact upon us that leave us seeking for refuge from this life. How wonderful would it be to drive just right out of the city and reawaken to the mental vessel full of new-found spirit?
The LaLiT is not only present in the busiest of cities, but in areas replete with the natural wonders of which we are wanting as modern societies. The LaLiT Mangar is an escape inside the mangroves of the Mangar Bani valley, where more than 6 lac trees decorate the surrounding cities. Forget taking a train or a flight to far away places, just drive down here to our experiential property. The LaLiT is located just 55 kilometers from the heart of Delhi. A mere 20 kilometers from Faridabad and just about 10-15 kilometers from Gurgaon. The 35 rooms are designed to ensure comfort and luxury with incredible views of the valley that can only mesmerize.
Our property is much more than an escape into the wild; it is the blissful experience that comes once in a blue moon. Rammed earth architecture was employed to erect the hotel in Faridabad with earth chalk and gravel in layers. The property is well insulated for winters and ensures minimal impact on the surroundings so that the coming generation can also enjoy the wonders of this valley.
Why Mangar?
You might find yourself asking a question – why Mangar?
The Aravalli range begins in Gujarat and ends in Northern Delhi through Rajasthan and Haryana. These formations date to sub-continental drifts. On the other hand, there aren’t many places that offer such tranquility a stone’s throw away from the city. It is quite easily accessible and no short of natural beauty.
However, lack of options should never be a reason to choose a place. Mangar is one place that survived the rummaging journey of the English which saved it from being defiled by commercial activities such as mining. Moreover, it is one of the very few remaining natural tropical forests in the nation capital region and happens to be home to an assortment of rare species of animals and plants. It allows the collections of rainwater to form lakes and flora.
Wildlife – The area adjoins the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary which is a part of the Northern Aravalli leopard wildlife corridor. The Haryana Aravalli that encompass Gurgaon, Faridabad, Mewat, Rewari and Mahendergarh are home to more than 126 hyenas, 166 jackals and around 30 leopards.
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
The quality of life is indirectly proportional to the worries one entertains and magnitude of stress one builds in their body. It is not always possible to avoid the thousand worries that pass us by while we heed the call of our professional lives. And sometimes, sadly enough, taking planned leaves or leaving the business up to someone else’s discretion is not possible either. It is, then, that saviors’ places as Mangar act as sanctuaries that rejuvenate.
We add on to this with our spa therapies that refresh your mind, body, and soul. Our facility is well-equipped to offer detox, weight loss, backache, stress, and arthritis treatments. Don’t just come to relax, come to be rehabilitated.
Yoga – how can revitalization be possible without Yoga? The age-old practice that has left civilization scurrying to the scared places of India is what we begin our day with. Every morning our Yoga guru will teach you the asanas that will not only heal you but will be of benefit to you in the future as well.
The Greatest Game Ever Played
Yes, we’re talking Golf. The LaLiT is situated just 15 minutes away from The Energy & Resources Institute (TERI) golf course. Drive down to the 9-hole golf course and learn the game or play a quick round. The gold course is exceptionally well-maintained and features a driving range. The best time for tee off is in the morning, so be there at 6 AM and play till 6 in the evening.
The Mangar Bani valley is home to more than several activities and we have offer a select few for which you won’t have to go looking.
Something for the family – You might not be able to get over the idea of letting your hair down and relaxing amidst the 677 acres of forests. However, you children might not be too keen for the same. This is why we offer cycling in the valley. Within a controlled environment, you and your family can paddle through the roads with trees in numbers all round to create a road that is less known than traveled.
Pottery – Our in-house potter will assist you in creating unique shapes as you learn to instill artistic values and witness joy at the same time. We highly recommend pottery as a family activity for bonding with each other.
Rock-climbing- There’s nothing like some adventure, and more so when the place naturally provides you a challenge. The area is a part of the North Indian Aravalli range and has many rocky hills where we offer rock-climbing.
The Rustic Experience – Have you ever imagined how it would be to spend a day in a rural setup? The location of our hotel allows you to visit the local village where you can enjoy the rustic life. Eat food made on the chulha, indulge in some more pottery, and watch the famous puppet show. Socialize with the locals and learn of tales of the valley. Go milk a cow if all this isn’t authentic enough for you.
Finally, you will be greeted back with the Tapri Chai with Indian snacks including pakora while flute plays in the background taking you back to the simple yet profound life.
Listen to the Sound of Silence – Every now and then, it is essential to relax and listen to nothing. While it may sound very profound, (and it is), it can come with something as simple as sitting out in the open and listening to your own breath. With a break taking view of the forests and the valley, come read, talk to your loved ones and listen to the profound sound of silence.
As Fresh as Possible
It is only logical that you should want to eat healthy for proper healing. We take care of that by growing vegetables that are then provided to our seasoned chefs to prepare a hearty meal. Our in-house farms produce the best basil, lemon grass, coriander among other vegetables through organic farming. Alfresco, at our property is one of the best restaurants in Faridabad and Gurgaon, is at your service around the clock with a panoramic view of the forest; a place for a meal with serenity take you over with each bite. Health is as important at LaLit as taste, which is why the produce is chemical free.
You can also include, in your weekend getaway itinerary, to visit the several natural and man-made wonders in Faridabad; Badhkal Lake and Raja Nahar Singh Palace among others. or simply come exponible Mangar.
Take time to experience the ethereal at The LaLiT Mangar, and be transported to a place that lets you enjoy the local culture and rejoice nature!
