Recently did a Nagtibba Trek with stay at Goat Village with Bayberry adventures. It was a short and sweet break. As always the management, support and logistics by the team bayberry is spot on. I love the way the preparation starts way before the actual trek with tailor made exercise schedule for the trek. As the saying goes "The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war". The more you prepare for the trek, the less you huff & puff and the more you enjoy the amazing natural beauty it has to offer. The stay at goat village was absolutely fantastic. The cottages are sustainable, clean, and built with pahadi architecture. They offer most beautiful panoramic vistas of the Shivalik Himalayan range. The dining cottage also doubles up as a greenhouse for vegetables like cauliflower, tomatoes, brinjal etc. If you are not in a mood for a trek you can just relax with some board games provided in the dining cottage or cozy up with a nice book. The team at goat village is always on the toes with their smiling faces and warm hospitality. They provide you with delicious local food 3 times a day. We also enjoyed activities like sunset meditation, antakshari @ bonfire. The trek takes you through dense oak forest, to take away all your stress and recharge your batteries. The trek guides not only supported with assistance for climbing or descent and encouragement for those struggling with the climb but made the trek way more interesting with stories about the temple and from local folklore.
I would definitely recommend it to whoever wants a quick gateway from everyday hustle bustle of the city and recharge batteries in the lap of nature in a sustainable way with team bayberry & goat village.
Thank you Team Bayberry for memories that last !
