A Place Called Parvada
A quaint village tucked into the sun-dappled slopes of the South Gola Ranges, Parvada sits at the edge of forested ridgelines and winding paths that lead to hand-built homes, old temples, and stories passed between neighbors. The air carries the scent of oak, cedar, and pine—crisp, grounding, and still. Among apricot and plum trees, our orchard grows—part of the village rhythm, shaped by the care of its people. We’ve built slowly, letting the hillside guide us. More than an estate, Parvada is a place of shared mornings, laughter in kitchens, fruit gathered in baskets, and a quiet sense of belonging.
The Hosts Who Make Parvada Home
At Parvada Bungalows, hospitality is not a profession—it’s a way of life, lovingly crafted by the co-founders, Sanjay and Vasudha Sondhi and the Parvada Bungalows team, who have been with the resort since its inception. Sanjay and Vasudha’s other hat is Outbound Marketing, a company specialised in handling outsourced sales and marketing services for International Hotels & National Tourism Boards. The 25 years of being in the exciting world of travel and hospitality and with the experience of working with luxury hotels and unique eco systems, they have set up Parvada Bungalows with great care, ensuring sustainable systems and great experiences. The team has been trained by Sanjay and Vasudha and are warm, attentive people who welcome you not just to a place, but to a way of being.
