Enjoy a happy family getaway at this peaceful and comfortable spot! The cozy room is part of our Big Bungalow, just a 1-minute walk from Bhilar Road and a lovely 10-minute walk to the scenic Bhose Khind in Panchgani. This is our family home, and we’ve recently opened it up for guests—we’d love to have you come and stay!

Bhilar is a peaceful hill village tucked between Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar. What makes it truly special is that it is India’s first official Book Village. Every few houses here double as small reading spots with shelves of books in Marathi, Hindi, and English. The walls are painted with literary murals, and the streets feel like a quiet open-air library. If you love slow travel, nature, and a bit of culture, this place hits all three. You can walk through narrow village lanes, sip local chai, and pause anywhere to read. People here are warm, curious, and proud of what their village has become. They often strike up a conversation about books, farms, or the weather.
