“I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.”
’Destiny’ is a Farm Stay Concept created by Little Earth Group who also own/run other properties near Ooty. Destiny is unique amongst them. Primarily because it is hidden or far away from the Town and the ’Approach Road’(eh.What Road?) is inside a Forest where all Vehicles are not permitted.
They have a Parking Bay from where you may park your vehicle & a WW2 Military Truck takes you to the Farm. There is no road nor is there any chance of getting one in the next thousand years.It’s a dirt track.This guy moves at a Max speed of 10 KM P/H & By the time you reach the Farm Shaking and Twirling inside this machine.
You are suddenly in Form for the Farm Experience as your Marbles are stuck in between your Vocal Cords and you are despo to get off the truck & fall on the grass.If you are an outdoor person this holiday is just for you ! If you are an indoor person you can have fun watching the outdoor guys.I’m Kidding, on the contrary your stay here will transform into an outdoor person.
Thus having kickstarted your adventure, Team Destiny will ensure to get your mind off everything that would normally bother you in your daily life and give you a pleasurable, adventourous and a different holiday. The fragrance and memories of which will linger on for a long time. After the customery welcome you are ushered into your room. Each of the rooms are named after the Cowboys of Wild West like Butch Cassidy, Jesse James, Buffalo Bill and so on.The rooms are small and compact.The Bathrooms are fresh & clean (Normally the first thing some of us would check ! ).
There are activities that can keep you busy during the day. Fishing, Trekking and Rappling for instance, of course not necessarily in the same order and also on the same day, can pep up your mood.Since Destiny is a farm stay concept they also have a Cow Barn, Horses and Rabbits not big but just enough for your little one’s to see and enjoy.Evenings are for Strolls and Horse riding while clouds roll on the hills near by.Kids can enjoy a game of Table Tennis or some out door games.The Kitchen works overtime and delivers a decent buffet spread everyday.They take pains not to repeat the menu and ensure variety.The late evening Bonfires with Nick Nacks & a Patialas are a big hit.They even have a Dance Room although they prefer to call it a Discotheque.
Sounds Good. I thik you have almost made up your mind to go there, But Hello - THERE IS NO TV.So, No Saas Bahu or Jetha Laal for you here.YOUR CELL PHONE MAY NOT WORK HERE.So your Mom can’t call you here. But Is’nt it something you always wanted to get away from ? (Any ways serials are re-telecast and your Mom will still tell you what she wanted to tell you once you reach home).
It would be rather unfair on my part to end this monologue without giving credit where it is due- to the Team which takes so much pain to make your stay comfy, that is, to The Boys mostly from Darjiling side, who are very committed and are very courteous and understanding.Ramesh, Vishal and others do a great job and so does the Manager & the front office....Cheers.
