Summer 2026 · Ikshana Resort & Spa, Khandala · April – May 2026 · One-night weekend stay
Every summer, parents search for something that gives their children more than screen time and idle afternoons. This year, Ikshana Resort & Spa in Khandala has the answer — a one-night weekend camp that blends adventure, life skills, culture, and pure fun against the backdrop of the Sahyadri hills.
Here’s everything you need to know about what is shaping up to be the most memorable weekend of the summer.
Trained by an Ex-Marcos Commando
The headline activity — and rightfully so — is training led by a former Marcos commando, a member of India’s elite marine special forces. Sessions cover land survival skills and water survival skills: practical, real-world knowledge that children rarely encounter in school but carry with them for life. Think navigation, situational awareness, and staying calm under pressure.
“Skills that go far beyond a typical summer camp — and stories your child will tell for years.”
What’s on the activity schedule?
The camp packs an impressive lineup into a single weekend:
- Self-defence training — Age-appropriate techniques that build confidence and body awareness, taught by expert instructors.
- Stargazing experience — Away from city lights, Khandala’s night sky is breathtaking. A guided session exploring constellations and the cosmos.
- Pool & amphitheatre activities — Poolside games, creative performances, and group events in Ikshana’s stunning resort venues.
- Mehndi artist & palmistry — A fun cultural arts session that sparks creativity and curiosity.
- Horse riding — Supervised sessions that teach children patience, balance, and a bond with animals.
What’s included in the package?
Ikshana takes care of everything so you don’t have to. The one-night weekend stay comes fully packed:
- Welcome drink on arrival
- Poolside hi-tea
- Dinner at RASA — the resort’s signature restaurant
- Full breakfast the next morning
All meals, all activities, one seamless experience.
