Directions to Sapna Ranch
We recommend either to take the Train, Bus or Drive down from Mumbai or Pune. For those who prefer to fly down flap you arms, lift your legs, once you’re airborne, look for some crazy bamboo constructions. A sight which has both a Bamboo Geodesic Dome and a Bamboo Geometry Dome. You’re allowed to crash land on the Banana Farm 🙂
This is to ensure you don’t leave your sense of humour behind. 🙂
We recommend that you leave for the farm in the morning to ensure you get to the farm in the day time as navigating in the dark could be a challenge.
