The state of Punjab has a unique offering for travelers immortalized by some of the best Bollywood films beautifully portrayed as golden yellow fields, the backdrop for many song and dance sequences. Mustard fields, generous people and their robust cuisine launched the unique idea of farm tourism in the state of Punjab; and Citrus County was among the pioneering stays curated to a urban audience looking for rural idyll. Within easy access to Amritsar, Pong wetlands, Anantpur Sahib and Dharamshala, Firdaus by Citrus County invites fatigued business men and women and over worked professionals to ‘retreat’ in nature. Firdaus is Persian for ‘paradise’ or ‘jannat’ and is Citrus County’s working farm – set on a citrus grove and close to a forest reserve inviting travelers to experience agro-forestry and agriculture at close quarters.
The great outdoors is the unique proposition of Firdaus, cyclists, hikers, four wheel drives, bikers , foodies and those who would like the feel of water close to them, there is the option to float out on the clear waters of the Nara Dam reservoir.
One of the first few pet-friendly farmsteads within driving distance from Delhi, Chandigarh and Amritsar; Firdaus also has an airport at Adampur and a Railway Station within an hour’s drive. Set in over 20 acres of a working farm of poplar, kinnow, orange and grape fruit trees, Firduas is curated as an outdoor and active farm stay. Four large and independent villas are spread out with open spaces that encourage guests to stay outdoors for as long as possible and this is the charm of Firdaus by Citrus County.
Two Villas have two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a common lounge and sitting while two others have one bedroom with attached bath and a lounge. A small functional pantry is common to all the villas. Every villa has access to the outdoors which is why Firdaus is popular for activities like forest hikes, cycling and four wheel driving safaris. The rooms are comfortably furnished with sunny colours, spacious allows sunshine and nature in. The villa configurations are such that it is perfect for a family of four and ideal to be bought out by a group of friends and family.
Winter days are perfect to sit out under large garden umbrellas to leisurely sangrias and multi course meal. Harkirat is a generous host and the cuisine is a definite highlight at Firdaus as he invariably joins in and cooks up a storm. Some of the specialities include mustard fish, homemade village style mustard greens (sarson ka saag), mutton curry, Indo-Chinese and tomato paneer. Remember to ask for their signature ‘detox’ tea cocktail made with fresh orange tea, honey, cinnamon and rum. Dinner around a campfire, barbeques and cooking on a slow fire will always be some of the best moments of your stay.
