I strongly fell for this beautiful place! Being naturally resplendent, it can be found at one of the most happening places in Faridabad. It can give you many advantages over others because it is beautifully nestled in the Aravali Range in Faridabad, a favourite haunt for people of all ages and has sprawling acres of land. It is easily convenient for people located near Faridabad, Delhi, and Gurgaon. If you go with kids, then they would definitely love this place as it will give them enough space to jump, hop, and skip. This valley is good, but not the best as it is losing its real identity, but it will give you a fresh feeling.

Occasionally, I enjoy visiting organic farms to purchase fresh produce. It's a leisurely weekend activity which we enjoy as a family. After a long drive from my home to the tranquil destination known as Mangar, you can find numerous organic farms offering their organically grown vegetables for sale. The location is nestled within a forest, making the entire drive exceptionally scenic. Additionally, you'll find accommodations like The Lalit Mangar and Camp Wild, offering exciting adventure and rock sports activities. The specific farm I frequent for my vegetable shopping is DN Kitchen and Garden.

TIP: If you're in the National Capital Region of Delhi and craving fresh organic produce, consider exploring the farms in Mangar.
