Fargo to Whitehill: Come, detox at Hyderabad’s private villas under the sun and shade

Hyderabad: Hidden amidst the vibrant city of Hyderabad are a plethora of private villas that have become the latest trend for unforgettable staycations.

Whether you're seeking a tranquil getaway, a venue for a celebration, or simply a place to unwind with friends, these villas offer an oasis of serenity away from the city's hustle and bustle. With their picturesque settings and luxurious amenities, these hidden gems provide the perfect escape for anyone looking to create lasting memories in the comfort and privacy of a stunning villa.

Sample this: Shah Farmhouse at Kucharam, which offers a series of farmhouses, can be rented out. Located amidst farms on Medchal Road, Shah Farmhouse provides a secure environment akin to a gated community.

Another noteworthy farm stay is Fargo. Founded by Kaushik Ragala, he believes in the mantra of "less is more." Fargo combines minimalism with luxury, blending nature seamlessly into its surroundings. Situated amidst the scenic hills of Hyderabad's outskirts, Fargo offers a breathtaking view and a man-made structure that complements the natural beauty.

"We were planning an office outing and were looking for getaway places. It was then, that one of our colleagues suggested farm stays. So instead of searching for a place to have fun and food together, we indulged in a farm stay where we could spend more quality time, with great activities, and it turned out to be a super place where we could connect more with each other.” Says Sudhamsh, a web developer from Karimnagar who works in a private organization in Hyderabad.

Rama Kinnera, an employee at Tetramind, says: "After seeing captivating pictures on Instagram, I couldn't wait to visit Fargo with my colleagues. Although I was initially apprehensive about convincing my parents, they quickly accepted the idea when I described it as a secure farmhouse located amidst the greenery in Shankarpally.”

"We were about 25 people, and there were two sections. Boys occupied a large room where about 15 beds were there, and girls occupied huts on the other side of the farmhouse. It was very convenient and felt very secure."

Rasman Archana, a Ph.D. student, says: "The White Hill, Hyderabad was a journey I will always remember and treasure. It was finally time for our vacation that my buddies and I had been preparing for months. We spent hours on the road singing along to the radio and having so much fun that our sides hurt. We were instantly taken aback by the White Hill's beauty when we eventually arrived there. The luxurious accommodations, the surrounding greenery, and the elegant pool are all magnificent.”

Farm stays offer a range of amenities including pet-friendly accommodations, parking facilities, gardens, terraces, pools, open theatres, and campfire areas. Many farms also embrace sustainable living trends, practicing organic farming and providing farm-to-table dining experiences. The cost of these farm stays ranges from Rs 12,000 to 25,000, depending on the specific date, location, number of people, and facilities offered.

As the younger generation seeks meaningful experiences that allow them to disconnect from the fast-paced urban lifestyle, farm stays offer an enticing alternative. With their serene ambiance, outdoor activities, and opportunities for social interaction, these venues are becoming the go-to choice for birthdays, parties, weekend getaways, and corporate outings.

Whether it's reconnecting with nature, escaping the routine, or creating lasting memories, farm stays provide the perfect setting for a unique and immersive experience. With their rising popularity, it's evident that farm stays are here to stay as the preferred choice for a variety of occasions and celebrations.
