PARK WOODS, Shoghi - Visitors' Experiences & Opinions
t is at times quite amazing. The different ways in which a person enjoys a vacation. Every feedback from a visitor who has been our guest at Park Woods, Shogi is an education of sorts. Rather than us trying to tell you what all Parkwoods offers and what people enjoy the most; in this section we just reproduce comments of some of the travellers who have stayed with us. We leave it up to you to form your ideas and decide what would beckon you to this offbeat Retreat. The pithy comments speak as much as the more articulate ones !
Of course, many beautiful thoughts are at times too personal for a guest to share with us and they remain ensconced in his heart as he departs and perhaps often resurface in his mind later. Aah...nostalgic memories of stolen moments... a timeless blessing !

Impressions of discerning travellers .... Read guest opinions directly on their blogs...

~ A very warm and hospitable resort built amidst nature. Days were relaxed and time just seemed to move at a very slow pace. Jagdish ensured we did not miss out on any of chefs preparations - pakodas, sandwiches, cold coffee and of course all the meals- all seemed as if they were just like home. The children enjoyed all the activities and want to be back for more !!
 Sandeep Vij, Gurgaon.

~ Best ever holiday we have had. Courteous staff, amazing hospitality, great service, good place to visit again.
 Rajeev Bindra  Dy. General Manager-Finance Samsung India Electronics Ltd, New Delhi.

~ We were totally lost and mesmerized with the natural beauty of Parkwood Shogi. Amazing place with the best modern facility and we had one of the best memorable time over there. Food and  service was magnificently created  (specially Ajay, Chef and Mr. Ranjan wowed us with his mountaineering  experience and stories …). It was a complete and comprehensive relaxing "Chutti" for me and my wife and  we are totally thrilled now...
Shail & Shilpi

 ~ Me and my family had a great time at Parkwoods Shoghi... this was a unique experience altogether. Hope in near future will surely make one more trip. Kids enjoyed to their maximum. One of the best thing we found out there was the food. It was like home made. Last but not least the warmth of the staff was totally surprising, the kind of hospitality we got was really impressive.
Will surely recommend others...    Sarabjit / Ratndeeep Singh

 ~ It was really a wonderful and adventurous experience, right in the middle of the forest providing every facility.
Especially, the kind, as well as laborious team lead by Mr. Prahlad Chauhan was amazing. Providing with delicious food (which we still miss), their outstanding hospitality, Pankaj Ji helping each and everyone with boosting our morals to do all activities such as rock climbing, rappeling, flying fox, valley crossing, obstacles course and ring game too, every member enjoyed.
It was not easy for us to bid farewell to that lovely place in the forest.
We all came back totally relaxed and rejuvenated.
 Mukesh Jain.

~ We had an amazingly great time. Very relaxing and enjoyable. The bonfire in the evening was great fun. Enjoyed doing most was "do nothing" i.e. just lay back in a hammock. Raj Sharma, Nestle India, Gurgaon.

~ It was "AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE" to say the least! We could never imagine we would go to sleep amidst crickets chirping, hearing dew falling on the grass outside!!! The idea of a bamboo hut is absolutely out of this world! My son really enjoyed himself on the swings and slides. It was the closest we could go to Nature and spend so much time in its lap. We really came back completely energised and rejuvenated. We are looking forward to visit it again. Jaya Ray, Resource Analyst.

~ Most lovely experience. Really fantastic, would love to come back again & again!
Pappan Majumdar, NDTV- New Delhi.

~ Excellent place to stay and ease out. Good hospitality & service. Rohit Sachdeva, IBM

~ Corrupt Yogi at Blissfull Shogi.
There are times in life when you feel like closing your eyes and meditating away the stress built up over many many days… Then something happens and you feel a calm overwhelm your senses, wash the stress away, cool your head, make you smile… Shogi, hidden away in the serene hills of Himachal, just did this to our group.

~ Shoghi - My tryst with untouched raw nature
When I say ’’Unusually great’’, I literally mean it. It isn’t the kind of experience that one would associate with a Hill station these days.

~ Clouds Enjoying Life
My experience of visiting this place was mentally relaxing, adventurous and very calm. This place is must to visit for everyone. I would love to visit this again in my life. It’s a complete fun filled forest retreat.

~ Shoghi-Scenic and Peaceful.
We got picked up by the resort guys and were directly taken to our tents. The tents were a pleasure in disguise. From inside they look just like 3 star hotel room with proper ceramic bathroom fittings. Just outside the tents are hammocks and swings ( with couple seating).

~ 20 Acres of Tranquility.
 Tranquility was what I was looking for tranquility is what I got. Far away from anywhere, very few people around, no mule-wallahs to haunt you - cadging for fare, not too cold or too hot, beautiful vistas to enjoy and good food to eat. Parkwoods came highly recommended, so off we went.

~ Away from hustle-bustle of city
A place away from the hustle-bustle of the city. Suitable both for a restful weekend or bit of roughing up by rock climbing and rappling etc. Children also had great fun running around collecting pine cones, playing around bonfire.....

~ I truly envy Mr. Chauhan, what an idyllic place to spend your life in. 
Park Woods has everything a vacationer can ask for. Sunlight, clouds, lovely breeze, hammocks to laze in, obstacle course to slave in and reawaken sleeping muscles, beautifully accoutered tents and Huts. We stayed 2 nights in both and couldn’t decide which was better .Hot water, beautiful landscapes, bonfires….I could go on.
The treks around the place are really enjoyable. However to see birds you don’t have to go on a trek they are all around, including beautiful pheasants and we even saw a barking deer!  The staff led by Jagdish caters to every need, fully of energy and courteous behavior, they made one feel at home. Vijay and Hemram were equally helpful and ever at hand. Obviously we are coming back again and again. 
Ajiti & Hemant Mishra, New Delhi.

 ~ We stayed at Park-Woods Resort from 30th of July till 1st of August, 2009. I should say that this is one of my best experience with Nature. I have really traveled a lot all around the globe but this stay was really to be remembered for a long long time. The food was really very sumptuous and delicious. I would like to thank you on behalf of my family for such a comfortable and unforgettable stay. The staff was really nice especially Nek Chand who really looked after us really very well. We will really look forward to visit this place again.
Puneet Bansal, Ludhiana.

 ~ Our group of 9 families had an excellent trip to Parkwoods, Shoghi. It is one of the best managed places that we have been to, and the entire staff is amazingly motivated, patient and courteous. Looking forward to more such trips in the future with you.

~ Parkwoods, Shoghi – I spent the best part of my honeymoon tour here. The resort is excellent, the location is unique and refreshingly quaint, the experience truly offbeat. Plus the quality of accommodation,  service and food makes you feel completely at home, even though you are in the middle of a forest. I would definitely like to visit this place again for a much longer duration.
