Are you tired of the same old city weekends? Then it’s time to get your hands muddy and your heart full at Tadmal Retreat’s Rice Planting Festival! Located just a short drive from Panvel and Raigad, this is one of the most unique and joyful monsoon experiences in Maharashtra.
The rice planting experience lets you step into real village life. You won’t just watch – you’ll take part in planting rice saplings in soft, muddy fields, just like local farmers do every monsoon. And while your hands get dirty, your soul will feel refreshed.
Tadmal Retreat isn’t just a farm—it’s a celebration of rural life, local culture, and eco-tourism. Here, you won’t just watch the rice being planted—you’ll do it yourself!
