Taj Gateway Resort Damdama Lake, Gurgaon is a paradise for families looking for a quick recharge in and around NCR. The drive to this beautiful eco-friendly resort is through lush green fields of Haryana. And when the gates to the resort are thrown open you find yourself in nature-inspired luxurious 20 acres of land. 

Each corner of this green sanctuary is well planned and holds gastronomical to adventurous treats for the guests. For kids, this place is nothing short of an outdoor wonderland with activities as diverse as swimming, camel riding to zip-lining. In fact, it did remind us of our beautiful stay at Hotel Taj Exotica, Goa. But before we tell you what the Ketchupmoms' team loved the most about Taj Gateway Resort, here is a little about Damdama Lake.

                               

Damdama Lake, Gurgaon: A hand-made reservoir from the days of the British, Damdama spread over an area of 3,000 acres is one of the largest lakes in Haryana. A rain-water harvesting site, it is home to more than 190 species of migratory and local birds. This is a reason why you would bump into a nature-enthusiast or a bird-watcher in this region. And if your child can tell a crane from an egret and a peacock, then you must visit this beautiful place at the foothills of Aravalis. And while you are here, do visit the ancient Shiva temple and the sulphur springs.

8 Reasons We Loved Taj Gateway Resort Damdama Lake, Especially With Kids:

1) A Taj experience just 40 mins. away from Gurgaon! Now a green sanctuary with beautiful rooms, good service and a list of activities is what good travel dreams are made of. This resort is a weekend fun-getaway.

                                

2) Green rolling hills and meadows where you come to refresh your senses and your lungs. Trust me our 7 yr old twins kept comparing this property with beautiful Goa and Shimla properties.

3) Kid's Activities are a major attraction at this resort. There is just so much to do. Catch a movie or play some games or how about reading or colouring at the Kid's Club. And if you love outdoors and adventure start from slides, swimming, horse-riding, camel-riding, zip-lining, wall-climbing, rain-dance and more. Phew. There is just so much to do before you jump into a pool. Hope we didn't forget to mention cycling and even art activities like pottery.

                                           

4) Why Should Kids Have All The Fun? Well, this resort is a playground for the adults too. From ATV Rides, Zorba Football, Paintball Shootzone to cycling and zip-lining there is a lot to give you that adrenaline rush.

                                           

5) The beautiful nature-inspired rooms that promise comfort, luxury and a good-night sleep. Wake-up early to enjoy a cup of tea in your balcony or back-yard with rare migratory and local birds.

6) Indulge yourself with delish delights from three different restaurants- Buzz, Swirl and Sian. Do try their Haryanvi dishes. Also, look out for their special Kulfi wala thela on your way back from the restaurant to your room.

                                    

7) Taj's Jiva Spa is an experience that refreshes every last bit of tired bones in our over-worked bodies. Choose your wellness treatment and indulge your senses with 100% natural Indian herbs and essential oils.

8) A designer and art-lover's paradise is what I would love to designate Taj Gateway Resort, Damdama Lake as. The iron installations that greet you from the moment you enter its premises. The beautiful and tall glass walls that keep you and nature in close harmony at all times are precious. The water-bodies with lilies floating delicately is a delight to watch. This is pure love.
