Gandhi Research Foundation remembers Mahatma Gandhi through a marvelous museum, "Khoj Gandhi Ki" (Discovering Gandhiji). It is amazing in the sense that nowhere else medium of multimedia is used in such innovative way as it is here. Well researched and well presented. It provides elaborate information on life and deeds of Gandhiji. A must visit if you are in this part of India. One can get stay arrangements in the campus. People interested to know more on Gandhi can join short courses also.

I & my wife visited Kaivalyadhama, Lonavala during last week of May, 19 for detoxification & learning Yoga and yogic life-style in pure form. The week long stay was much much beyond expectations. Serene environment in campus spread over 200 acres of landscape in the lap of hills with each part of the campus aesthetically maintained instantly took us to a different meditative journey. Everything from Yoga classes in classical form customized for our needs, hostel upkeep, Saatvik but tasty food with highest quality of ingredients, scientifically designed daily schedule, was simply perfect. We also availed their Naturopathy package which again was customized by their doctor as per our needs was again wonderful, to say the least. The proud, trained and highly motivated teams from bottom to top can be a case study for any HR expert. Came back detoxed, rejuvenated and refreshed.

Excellent destination for business meeting, Lakeside Convention Centre with all the modern amenities is perfect place to hold the event for the gathering up to 300 Nos. Hospitality and support by the Convention center staff is excellent. Especially In Mansoon the road to lavasa is equally breathtaking. Only need to be cautious while driving to destination as the Fog and Sharp turns are dangerous.
