Escape to Paradise: Uncover the Luxury of Shashank Villa, Panchkula!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving deep into Shashank Villa in Panchkula. Forget your perfectly polished travel blogs, this is the raw, unfiltered, "I need another coffee" review. And trust me, after experiencing this place, you'll need that coffee too.
Escape to Paradise: Shashank Villa - Panchkula (The Chaos That's Seriously Worth It)
First impressions? Forget sleek, minimalist chic. Shashank Villa is more like… a sprawling, slightly eccentric, and utterly charming mansion that's been sprinkled with a healthy dose of "Indian hospitality." Think: lush greenery, hidden pathways, and a feeling that you've stumbled onto a secret garden party.
Accessibility (and My Awkward Tango with a Ramp)
Okay, so let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way. The website says "Facilities for disabled guests." Which, on paper, is great. The reality? Let’s just say my attempt to navigate the entrance ramp felt less like a graceful entrance and more like a slapstick comedy routine. I'm not saying it's perfectly wheelchair accessible, but with a little help (and maybe a good sense of humor!), you can manage. The elevator is a godsend, though!
(Deep Breath) Amenities: Let's Talk Crazy Goodness
This is where Shashank Villa really redeems itself. They throw everything at you. Seriously, the list is insane!
- Internet, Glorious Internet! Okay, okay, internet’s non-negotiable these days. And YES, you get free Wi-Fi in all rooms. (Hallelujah!) Seriously, I’m typing this from my bed, and the connection’s rock solid. There’s also LAN access if you’re into that old-school thing.
- Relaxation Station: Where My Stress Evaporated
- Pool with a View: Oh. My. GOD. The infinity pool overlooking the valleys? Unreal. I spent a solid afternoon just staring at it. Maybe I even pretended to be a mermaid for a minute. Don’t judge.
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: I went for the full shebang. Body scrub, body wrap, the works. I emerged feeling like a freshly-baked, ridiculously relaxed human being. The masseuse was a magician, I swear. I needed it, after the ramp incident, am I right?
- Fitness Center: Okay, I thought I’d hit the gym. Then I saw the pool and… priorities. But hey, it's there if you're feeling virtuous.
- Food Glorious Food (And the Things That Kept Me Coming Back) Shashank Villa doesn’t just have restaurants, they have culinary adventures.
- Restaurants: Multiple options. I grazed at the pool bar (perfect for sundowners), tackled the buffet (Asian AND Western options!), and indulged in the a la carte (their Indian dishes are divine).
- Breakfast in Room? Yes, Please! Let's be honest, sometimes you just want to stay in your bathrobe and eat a mountain of food. Their room service is speedy and the breakfast takeaway options are great.
- Snack Bar & Coffee Shop: Fuel for adventure! This is where the coffee keeps flowing, and where I may or may not have developed a slight addiction to their samosas.

Definitely not the most modern spaces, but they’re clean, well-equipped (air conditioning, coffee/tea maker, even a minibar), and most importantly, they have soundproofing. I swear, I slept like a log. (And the extra-long bed was a lifesaver.) Side note: Ask for a room with a view. It's worth it.
My Deep Dive into the Breakfast Buffet: A Love Story (and a Mild Panic Attack)
Okay, let's talk about the breakfast buffet. It’s the reason I woke up every morning with genuine excitement. The spread is insane. Freshly baked bread, perfectly cooked eggs, a mountain of fruit, and… wait for it… Indian breakfast that’s just chef's kiss.
There’s one small problem: choice paralysis. Seriously, I almost had a panic attack trying to decide what to eat! I ended up piling my plate so high, I nearly dropped the whole thing. (Thank goodness for the staff, who swooped in to save the day.)
But the food? Worth every calorie. I highly recommend the masala dosa!
The Little Imperfections. Yeah, They’re There.
Look, Shashank Villa isn’t perfect. The decor is a bit… dated in places. Some of the pathways could use a bit of work. And that ramp? Still gives me nightmares. But honestly? These imperfections just add to the charm. They’re part of what makes the place so unique.
The Verdict?
This place is a hidden gem. Book it. Run, don't walk. Seriously, right now.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! My trip to The Shashank Villa in Panchkula? Let’s just say it wasn’t your perfectly curated Instagram feed kind of vacation. It was… real. And lord, was it messy. Here's how it unfolded, in all its gloriously imperfect glory:
Pre-Trip Ramblings (and Panic)
- The Brain Freeze: Okay, first off, Panchkula. Had NO CLUE where that even was. Google Maps and the overwhelming fear of being stranded in a literal desert were my only guides. Booking the villa itself felt like a leap of faith. The pictures (of course) looked idyllic, but you know how that goes. Photoshop is a powerful ally.
- Packing: A Tragedy in Layers: Endless debates with myself. "Should I pack that sequined top? Probably not. But what if… I suddenly become a Bollywood star?" (Spoiler alert: I did not). My suitcase was a chaotic masterpiece of hope, practicality, and sheer delusion.
- Waiting for the Flight: I have a history with planes, I’m not a fan. I keep thinking the plane is going to crash. I just hope I get there safely.
Day 1: Arrival and Awkward Introductions
- The Car Ride of Doom (and Smiles): Landed in Chandigarh (which, thankfully, is a real place). The driver – a lovely, slightly chatty chap named Raj – greeted me with a smile and a tsunami of honking. The drive to Panchkula wound through dusty roads and bustling markets. I loved it. I would have been lost by myself.
- The Villa Reveal – Truth vs. Reality: The Shashank Villa itself? Sigh. The pictures were… enhanced, let’s say. It was still charming, just… less Instagram-worthy. The garden was beautiful, though. The air smelled like jasmine and something else I couldn't quite identify, maybe hope?
- Meeting the Staff: The staff were lovely, but language barriers (my fault, I know) led to some truly hilarious misunderstandings. Ordering breakfast felt like a complex negotiation. "Yes, please, without the green chili. Unless you want me to spontaneously combust." (I love spicy food, but it was a first-day warning).
Day 2: Breakfast Battles and Botanical Bliss
- Breakfast's Bad Reputation: Pancakes… oh so delicious. The breakfast was pretty good, but the coffee was, and I’m being kind here, akin to dishwater. I drank it anyway, desperate for caffeine.
- The Garden's Charm: Wandering the villa's gardens was absolute solace. It's easy to sit on the ground and lose yourself for hours, as I did. It felt like a secret world. I saw a butterfly, I felt so small at that time.
- The Epic Mango Mishap: The villa provided a beautiful basket of mangoes. I was so excited, I grabbed one with gusto, and that’s when disaster struck. The mango juices, went all over my face, hair, and, yes, even my shirt. My face was a sticky mess. I looked like a toddler who’d been playing in a fruit salad. I laughed so hard, I nearly choked. It was the kind of glorious, messy incident that makes life worth living.
Day 3: Exploring Panchkula (and Questioning My Life Choices)
- A Trip to the Gardens: I visited the Pinjore Gardens. They were… massive. Seriously, I felt tiny. The architecture was amazing, and the sheer scale of the place was breathtaking. I got lost. Not literally lost, thank god for Google Maps. But lost in thought. I did not talk to anybody during that time.
- The Temple Incident: I found a local temple – beautiful, vibrant, and utterly overwhelming. The scent of incense, the chants, the sheer energy… It was both awe-inspiring and slightly terrifying. I tried to be respectful, but I'm pretty sure I accidentally stood on someone's foot. Twice. My bad.
- Dinner Dilemmas: Dinner at a local restaurant. The food was, again, amazing. I ordered something I thought was mild, but ended up with a mouth that felt like it was on fire. Tears welled up. I was miserable. Despite the chili, I ate the entire plate.
Day 4: Reflection and Departure (or… Maybe Not?)
- The Poolside Debrief: The villa had a pool. The water was refreshing. I spent the entire morning just floating, staring at the sky, and trying to make sense of the last few days. It was the most peaceful I'd felt since I arrived.
- The Unfinished Story: As I packed to leave, I stood by the window of my room. The air felt thick with humidity and something else… nostalgia? The trip hadn't been perfect, but it had been real. I looked at the garden, and that mango on the back: I did not want to leave. So, here I am, staying for two more days.
- The Final Thought: This trip was a lot more than what I was expecting. Full of mess and adventure. I already know I'm going to remember this trip.
So, there you have it. My Panchkula story. It wasn’t a smooth ride, but it was undeniably mine. And honestly? That's all that matters.
