It’s astounding how a short hour’s drive out of Delhi can take you to a place of such rustic beauty. Manger Village is in the shade of the craggy rocks of Dhauj in District Faridabad. As you drive down a steep incline on the last lap to Lakeview Cottage, you will pass scenes that don’t seem to have changed over centuries: Haryana’s shepherds with great big herds of goats cross your path, carrying  baby lambs in their arms.  Peacocks casually cross the tarmac. And Manger Village, if not for the lone Coke ad on a village shop, would give you the distinct impression that it’s so cutoff from the world that the fall of the Mughals would be big news here.

You will be even more placed when you pull into Lakeview Cottage. You will stay in comfortable, tastefully-decorated cabins which face the lake framed by the craggy Dhauj rocks. The lake in question is just a tiny rain-fed village pond, but post-moon-soon. Lakeview Cottage plonks a few boats onto its surface for your pleasure. There’s a swing for the kids, vast grounds to ramble in plus guides can be arranged for you to climb the rocks of Dhauj.
