Hi there!
The Royal Garden Resort has everything you need to take a step back from the chaotic city life. They have a water park with wave pool, slides and rain dance. They also have a mini amusement park with dry rides that the children would enjoy like a toy train and merry go round. This is a great one day getaway as it's located very near to the city centre. The refreshing scenery, surrounded by lush greenery all around, is such a step away from the usual buildings and cars that we see.
They also have rooms that guests can rent out. A stay in their Deluxe Room, Super Deluxe Room or Suite can certainly invigorate your spirits. All rooms come with cable television, attached bathroom and desk with chair. Their restaurant serves only vegetarian dishes of different cuisines like Indian, Chinese and Continental.
They also have rates for just a one day package without a room:
- One Day Picnic for Adult at Rs. 700
- One Day Picnic for Children (3 to 10 years old) at Rs. 600
Here is how you can reach the Royal Garden Resort:
1. By Train - The nearest railway station is the Borivali Railway Station which is about 450 metres away from the resort. Since the Borivali Railway Station is a station on the Western Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway Network, there are no direct trains to reach it from Pune. You can just alight at the Dadar Railway Station and from there, ride another train from the Western Line that would reach Borivali. From Borivali, you can just walk the remaining distance to reach the resort. So your route would be:
- Pune > Train to Dadar Railway Station > Train to Borivali Railway Station > Walk to Resort.
