A Military Mindset Weaved Into Lifestyle
Located in the heart of Maharashtra, with river Urmodi on one side and Mahadeo Ranges of Sahyadri on the other, Apshinge has over 2,000 ex-army men out of a total population of 5,800 inhabitants. It was a tradition to send at least 1 child into the military during both pre and post-independence.
People of all ages live a very disciplined life, forming a strong sense of community. Certain village activities are aimed to keep that sense of brotherhood alive.
Most festivals are celebrated in the village in a traditional way. Parayan, a holy Satsang, is an integral part of the village culture, bringing the entire community together.
Additionally, the Gram Sabha regularly conducts healthy discussions on eminent issues surrounding overall development. Apshinge is slowly becoming a self-sufficient town; a role model to all its neighbouring villages.
A Vision in 1997, A Reality in 2021
‘Urja’ in its purest form, is the infinite energy that emanates from anyone it finds lively and worthy.
Urjalife’s has a unique story that started a small dairy firm with 2 cows and is currently a home to the Urja Naturals Brand with 1000+ happy cows grazing our farmlands.
It all started in 1982, when Captain Shankarro Deshmukh, an Ex-Army Maratha Commander, laid the foundation of the Agro Farm; making it the stepping stone of our resort. It took us 22 years to build Urjalife’s Pravaah as you see it today.
Over the years, we have moulded Urja to be the perfect amalgamation of the rural and the urban. We have noticed the dire need for corporate employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Hence, we have strived to create an unurbanised setting for corporate retreats.
Additionally, our turfs and range of tours and activities aim to normalise an active lifestyle. Our Dairy Brand, Urja Naturals, plays a small role in making dairy products via healthy farming practices.
The current version of Urjalife’s Pravaah plethora of fun activities that you simply cannot finish in just one stay. Rides, tours, games, spas, gym, – you name it, we have it all!
