About Uttara and Adwait
Thirty years ago, we (Adwait and Uttara) met working at the Taj. Along with our day jobs in the hospitality industry, we both also modeled in the 80s and were part of several prestigious advertising campaigns. We wanted to move away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and shifted to a quieter Nashik.

A Culinary Journey in Nashik
We’ve had three restaurants in Nashik—Aangan, Tandoor, and The Bombay Talkies—and now live on the outskirts of Nashik. Our two daughters, Saiyami and Saunskruti, have now moved back to the very city that we chose to leave.

The Birth of Utopia Farmstay
Plagued with the empty-nest syndrome, we decided to welcome people into our home a few years ago. We loved interacting with the people who visited us and thoroughly enjoyed listening to their stories. Through these experiences, we realized that travelers who choose to stay in homestays (or in this case, our farm stay) are often a treasure chest of interesting anecdotes. That is what gave birth to Utopia Farmstay.

Our Life at Utopia
For the past seven years, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed hosting guests at Utopia. Our greatest joy is when guests come as strangers but leave as friends!

Our Passions
Beyond Hosting We love to swim in the lakes—Nashik has over forty freshwater lakes—trek around the Sahyadri hills, and explore off-beaten tracks on our 35-year-old Bullet motorcycle. Every monsoon, we love taking our guests on short walks or hikes around Nashik. We also host different workshops throughout the year at the property. I (Adwait) conduct a Carpentry Workshop.

Join Us at Utopia Farmstay
If you’re looking for a stay away from your concrete jungle, are tired of monotonous hotel accommodations, and have a penchant for exploring something different, we’d love to have you over on our farm.
