A unique Agri-Tourism activity: 'Tarpa- Gholwad'
Some day, you dream for that uncommon rural holiday
camping in clean-n-cozy hut,
while the birds spell their sweet melodies in the woods!
Breathing in crisp, countryside air you may set out cheerfully
for quiet morning walk, or basking in a hammock
catch up with your long pending reading pleasure!
Enjoy the rural breakfast and meals you always wished for,
cooked with the farm-fresh ingredients served under the trees!
Homemade pickles and jams and mango juice,
famous Gholwad Chikoos, tasty chikoo chips and fresh coconut!
'Tarpa Gholvad' invites you to explore and enjoy
the rejuvenating ethnic surroundings!
Your hosts, a progressive farmer family,
take you on an exciting agri-tour,
round a 35-acre lush green nursery and orchard,
the modern eco-friendly ways of cultivation organic farming,
green houses, drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, modern plant
propagation techniques, vermi-culture, bee keeping, dairy etc.
While you enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool blue pool,
let the kids have fun on the swings and other play things!
You may even discover close-by hill treks,
a serene beach, low tide fish farming,
Adivasi culture with their ethnic Warli art
and of course, their unique Tarpa dance.
“Must come again soon” is the feeling you carry back home
. . . because this is a homely place with a touch of originality!

Our Agri-Tourism activity “Tarpa”, at Sawe Farm, has caught the imagination of people who need short break from their day-to-day stressful life. It also aims at exposing city folks, especially children, to the nature and rural life. Creating awareness about environment is yet another purpose behind this activity.
Every plant at ‘sawefarm’ has a story to tale! The visitors are introduced with variety of plants, farming techniques, principles of organic farming, wormiculture, bee kipping, rainwater harvesting, fish farming, plant nursery etc. Visitors are also encouraged to participate in these activities.
Our large collection of plant species has proved a treasure for students of botany and pharmacy. Here, they can see and feel the specimen plants included in their studies. Most of the plants carry nametags of their botanical family and common names.
Situated right in the midst of tribal belt of Thane district, 'Tarpa’ proves an ideal spot for camping for the students of Rural Development and Social Sciences. Students can visit near-by tribal communities; understand their culture, economy and art and reasons behind education and health care problems. With prior planning, learning Warli Painting from an Adivasi artist and witnessing famous Tarpa Folk dance is an exiting experience ‘Tarpa’ can bring to you!
