Ita a great place. A Nature Resort; Easy to reach as it is close to Pune.

Location is fantastic – natural surroundings full of native trees/shrubs and the facilities are appropriate for the vision that prompted the development of the resort – cottages nestled among the native trees; a vegetarian kitchen; postive, soothing vibes; organic farm to table; and above all, the owners commitment to sustainable development. Staff is very helpful. Food is very tasty.

I recommend wholeheartedly a visit to The Hidden Oasis.

I recently had the opportunity along with my wife Rita to attend the Transcendental Residential Program (Batch 124) conducted by Freedom from Diabetes (FFD) at The Hidden Oasis, a beautiful eco-farm resort near Pune.

This program is a shorter version of the Holistic Transformation Program (HTP) in which I had earlier participated (Batch 83). For me, it felt like reliving the entire one-year journey in just one week. I would strongly recommend it to everyone whether as reinforcement for those who have completed the HTP or as an excellent preview for beginners considering the year-long program.

The TRP comprehensively covers the healing process, including diet, exercise, stress management, personal guidance, and group therapy.

The venue itself adds to the experience. The Hidden Oasis, located in Garade Village, off Kondhwa, Saswad Road, about 35 km from Pune, is a peaceful riverside retreat surrounded by nature. With lovely meals, natural charm, cozy accommodation, and activities designed to nourish both body and soul, it provides an exceptional environment for transformation.

A highlight of the program was the personal attention given by Mr. Yunus Shipchandler and his family, who own the resort. His sessions on stress management were a revelation for me, offering entirely new learnings and insights. His simple yet powerful message “The Best is Yet to Come” remains with me as a guiding thought.

The FFD team, led by Dr. Pramod Tripathi, delivered outstanding sessions on diet, exercise, and meditation. Dr. Tripathi himself conducted one session, while Dr. Rachana Rao, Dr. Nikhil, Dr. Malar Gania, and other specialists provided continuous, compassionate support throughout the week.

Overall, it was an incredible experience one that I wholeheartedly recommend, not only to those seeking diabetes reversal but also to spouses and non-diabetic participants. The program truly addresses the essence of healthy living.

I highly recommend this program not only for diabetes reversal but also for anyone seeking a healthier, more positive lifestyle.

There is no better place than The Hidden Oasis, a peaceful riverside retreat surrounded by nature, with excellent management and comfortable living.

Hidden Oasis is an apt name for the property. Surrounded by trees and foliage growing naturally adds to the experience. The food is simple and tasty. I bought vegan cheese, brownies,, wheat and other products all grown on the farm. Yunus, the owner is omnipresent and a warm caring human being. Must visit
