点评:I honestly didn’t expect this trip to turn out the way it did — it felt like time had slowed down in the best way possible.
I visited Gypsy Soul near Pune last weekend with friends, and the experience was beyond magical. The highlight? Thousands of fireflies lighting up the entire valley! I’d heard of fireflies before, but this was something else — they were everywhere, right across the property. The team even did a dark hour where they switched off all the lights so we could just sit in silence and take it all in. It felt like nature’s version of fairy lights, and I’ll never forget that moment.
They had live music by State Bus, and those unplugged vibes under the open sky just hit different. After that, we watched a midnight movie at their open-air cinema, which was such a cozy touch — under the stars, wrapped in a blanket, with Maggie and all.
The sunset trek was another beautiful surprise — we hiked to a point from where you could actually see both the Panshet and Varasgaon dams. The view, the breeze, and that golden-hour light? Unreal.
Food throughout was delicious — from barbecue to midnight Maggi to morning breakfast, everything tasted home-style but elevated. And our stay was super comfortable — we stayed in cottages and some friends tried the tents, and both were clean, cozy, and well-kept.
This place is not your usual commercial resort — it’s raw, soulful, and real. If you’re even thinking about a quick escape into nature, Gypsy Soul during firefly season should be at the top of your list.
翻译:说实话,我没想到这次旅行会是这样的——感觉时间以一种最美妙的方式慢了下来。
上周末我和朋友们去了浦那附近的吉普赛灵魂酒店 (Gypsy Soul),那段经历简直太神奇了。最精彩的瞬间?成千上万只萤火虫照亮了整个山谷!我以前听说过萤火虫,但这次完全不同——它们到处都是,就在酒店对面。酒店团队甚至安排了“黑暗一小时”,关掉了所有的灯,让我们可以静静地坐着,欣赏这一切。感觉就像大自然版的仙女灯,我永远不会忘记那一刻。
他们有 State Bus 的现场音乐表演,在露天的氛围下,那种不插电的感觉真是别有一番风味。之后,我们在他们的露天电影院看了一场午夜电影,感觉非常温馨——在星空下,裹着毯子,和 Maggie 在一起。
日落徒步之旅又是一个美妙的惊喜——我们徒步到达了一个可以同时看到潘舍特大坝和瓦拉斯冈大坝的地方。那景色、微风,还有那金色的阳光?简直太美了。
从烧烤到午夜美极,再到清晨的早餐,每道菜都美味可口,既有家常风味,又不失格调。我们的住宿体验也超级舒适——我们住的是小屋,一些朋友也尝试了帐篷,两处都干净舒适,维护得也很好。
这里可不是一般的商业度假村——它原始、深情、真实。如果你想来一次短暂的自然之旅,萤火虫季节的吉普赛灵魂度假村绝对是你的首选。
