SHIN RIN -YOKU -
In Japan, they have a practice called forest bathing, or "Shinrin-Yoku. Shirin in Japanese means "Forest," and Yoku means "bath."
So Shinrin-Yoku means "bathing" in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses.
It is not exercise, or hiking, or jogging. It is simply being in nature and connecting with it through our senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Shinrin-Yoku bridges the gap between us and the natural world.

Serene location, delectable food and superb hospitality. I must say Vishranti is a must go place for family outings..there is park and there are various kinds of birds so it was good for engaging kids. My kids totally loved it..food was scrumptious and whole place is one of its kind..there is a army mess setup and it says so much about the real heroes.
A must visit place 👍
