Gul – Gulshan – Gul:FARM

# Destination Weddings : Best Place in Gujarat
# Go Golf : Annual series of Golfing initiatives spread across age groups..


The above headline in Urdu is suggestive of a farm loaded with blossoms and flowers.. so is the place where I spent my weekend. A must go for any traveller or an Amdavadi..



“Gulmohar Greens” is the place I reached on Saturday, 26th May 2018... here the name Gulmohar is taken for a tree which is in full bloom during peak summer season, loaded with hues of red, orange & yellow flowers. So is this place.. always green, colourful and fully live with activities from all across genres. A perfect mix which is difficult to achieve.. hence a must try for a resort style living and a home away from home!


Peak Summer, when the temperatures have soared to their highest of degrees, 47 degree Celsius,   to be precise, this is one place which gives you respite. Spread on sprawling 75 acres land, primarily known for a Golf course, has loads of goodies to offer.


Gulmohar Greens- Golf & Country Club, primarily commenced their operations a decade back in 2006 with Golf and Club membership as their key attraction.  Golf – the sport and proximity to the city has been a major USP, clubbed with all amenities which a four star resort has to offer. “This project started just with a dream, my passion towards the finest sport in world was on a high decibel. Hence, with tremendous dedication and remarkable support from Shri Trilokibhai Parikh, we were able to give shape to a 9 hole par 36 Golf Course. Today, we not only have a calendar of events for Golf but Gulmohar Greens is considered as one of the finest Golf Course of Gujarat and is also affiliated with Indian Golf Union. Go-Golf is the annual event calendar for the sport. We run certified courses for avid golfers and enthusiasts, giving them a platform to develop their skill on sport. We also organise bi-monthly tournaments which are being strongly supported by leading corporate and private firms. We have proved to be a boon for the new generation, youngsters especially who are growing with the sport and developing as a vocation. We also have females who are quite regular.”, mentioned, Shri Alpesh Parikh, Managing Director – Gulmohar Greens.

Spa Buddha

“Apart from Golf, our property has been ranked as the best ‘Destination in Gujarat’ for weddings, hence with growing popularity and love we have got in past, we are adding 27 more rooms to the existing 32 rooms, 3 of which are suite rooms and 2 Presidential Suite spread across 2800 square feet, largest so far in the city. Besides, we have all other world class amenities, a sports complex, restaurants, lawns for private functions, amphitheater, library, infinity pool, gymnasium, spa, kids play and party area etc.” added Mr. Parikh.


What I observed while moving with their team was; every member is strongly connected with every tree and plant in the property. Each one of them don’t forget to mention about how they have been witnesses to the shrubs also.. growing every inch in front of their eyes.... and needless to say, maintaining  the green pastures of the Golf course in a city like Ahmedabad where we receive eight months of strong sun clubbed with high temperatures is a commendable task.

The cherry on the icing is that the property is located at Sanand, just 15 kilometers from IIM Ahmedabad and 23 kms from the Airport.. proximity, another factor which has contributed to their popularity. And I strongly believe, after Ahmedabad getting the tag of “Heritage City”, tourists need good resorts to have a complete experience of a vacation, for which Gulmohar Greens has the potential!!

Flowers, Banyan Tree and the beautiful lawns hosting Sufi Night!!
Apart from Golf, the management keeps organizing events revolving around family requirements, be it for women or children. Weekends specially have entertaining and fun filled events... to beat the heat there is a pool woven in three formats and a 100 year old Banyan tree welcomes you portraying its strength through its prop roots.. demonstrating the strength, dedication and devotion and determination of the entire place...

A place to be added in your wish list!!

Sands to Skyscrapers: Dubai’s Architectural Marvels

A New Dawn in the Desert By: Kulveen Narula “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn't something  you await, but rather create.” — H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A t the turn of the millennium, while the world was celebrating the arrival of Y2K , a quiet revolution had begun brewing in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai , was preparing to reimagine itself—not just as a city but as a symbol of human possibility. From a land once known only for its sands and souks, rose a futuristic skyline that rivals the best on Earth. In just 25 years , Dubai evolved into a global epicentre of design, engineering, and luxury—where the homo sapiens are actually living on Cloud 9, giving us a strong dream etched on sand, which didn't disappear overnight but amplified year on year imparting a twinkle in the eye of millions in the world to light up a dream.  The Visionary Behind the Rise The transformation is no...

What's your Color Code?

  Give Me "RED" - Operation Sindoor   While a debate goes on the skin color and the side effects of lightening crèmes, no makeup looks etc. but at the same point there is no denial that we love to wear color, be it on our face, hair or body. 16   shringars   have been known since time  immemorial and so make up has always been an essential part of human existence, be it the tribal paintings with feather head gears or a high fashion look on a ramp. Recently the importance of vermilion powder - termed as "Sindoor" was the nomenclature of the army operation conducted in retaliation to the terrorist attacks in Kashmir where caste was primary specification of those targeted.  This itself indicates that makeup and grooming have been an essential element of our culture and tradition since time immemorial. The loud red streak was adorned by Aishwarya Rai at the Cannes as representation of both fashion and fury, Peace and power. The Queen arrived clad in Red ...
