This mother’s day, take a break and reverse the role with Tamara Leisure Experiences & Novotel Goa

A mother’s love is known to be the purest of all. Unconditional- Unadulterated- Undying. With only good thoughts and well wishes, mothers know what we need and when we need it, even if we won’t always admit to it. 

This mother’s day, take a break and reverse the role. Book her a vacation, a perfect getaway where there is no morning alarm, no chores, just fresh air with a hill view, a leanback chair against a classic art deco wall, music for the soul, a walk in the woods, and rejuvenation for the body and the mind. 

Here are four ways to express your love and gratitude to the one who made you.

Please note: children under 12 are not allowed due to the steep gradient and hilly terrain of the resort. 

4. Novotel Goa: The experiences curated by Novotel Goa Candolim and Novotel Goa Resort and Spa will take you beyond the idyllic beaches and nightlife of Goa for a one-of-a-kind experience. The most popular activity at the resort is the cashew trail. Guests get the opportunity to not only pick cashews and separate them, but also to crush the fruit to extract a drink called ‘Niro’. One even gets to try their hands on a cocktail with ‘Urrak’ produced by the first distillation of the cashew juice. The trail also showcases the traditional roasting of the cashew nut. It then takes you to a nearby cashew nut factory that displays the commercial processing of the nut. One can also purchase cashews straight from the factory.

For all the dry-fruit loving, fact-checking mammas, this will definitely be a fun, unforgettable experience.
