Mahuli Farms is 50 acres of land at the footsteps of Mahuli Fort, which is how it got its name. The land was acquired in 1998, primarily for preservation and protection: trees, flora and fauna, and the biodiversity that urban growth so often erases.
Mr. Madhukar Talpade and his wife, Mrs. Sunita Talpade, have been nurturing this land ever since, and opened its doors to guests in 2012. We have since planted thousands more trees, building an ambience that is soothing, refreshing, and entirely pollution-free. Our boundary touches Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary, and we are close to Manas Mandir, the second-largest Jain temple in India.
The farm's owner, Mr. Madhukar Talpade, has lived several lives. He began with LIC, then joined the Sales Tax Department as a Class I officer, and later joined the Maharashtra State Police, where he rose to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police.
In 2009, with 12 years of service still ahead of him, and a clear path to Joint Commissioner, he opted for voluntary retirement. He left to follow his love of nature. Mahuli Farms is what came of that decision.
The whole farm is managed by Mr. Talpade and his wife, Mrs. Sunita Talpade, his supporting hand in bringing this dream to life. Together they have created something rare: a place that genuinely feels like someone's home, because it is.
Here, you are not a customer. You are a guest. The warmth they show every visitor is personal, not policy.
The farm was bought to protect nature, not exploit it. We use no chemicals, keep the land as wild as possible, and have planted thousands of trees since we began.
An absolutely safe space for women, children, and families. No alcohol, no smoking, no loud music, ever. This is a place you can bring your whole family without worry.
Home-cooked buffet meals (veg, non-veg, and Jain) made by people who actually cook that way at home. Not restaurant food pretending to be village food.
