Growing up gliding through the pages of ‘Enchanted Woods’ by Enid Blyton, and reading her adventurous experiences of climbing a magic faraway tree, planted a million scenarios in my head. Years later, long after maturity struck me like lightening and the soul’s constant quench to taste the thunders of enchanted adventures began to fade away, I was introduced to the idea of spending a night at the best ‘Tree House Resorts’ of our country. Drawing from my experiences from these serene staycations, I am here to guide you as you plan a journey of walking into cosy built escapes, nestled amidst the lush greenery of our continent’s rich jungle getaways.
