Nature Trails, the experiential hospitality brand of Thomas Cook (India) Limited, has expanded beyond Maharashtra with the launch of Nature Trails Rock Valley in Ponda, Goa—its fourth resort and first in the state.
Set across 15 acres at the foothills of the Western Ghats, the resort is positioned around immersive outdoor living and adventure-led experiences. The property features spacious nature-facing rooms with private sit-outs overlooking forests, river backwaters and open farmland. Key amenities include two infinity pools—one valley-facing and the other overlooking a river—along with a large integrated adventure zone.
The resort offers a wide range of guided activities such as zip-lining, rope courses, archery, ATV rides, rappelling and kayaking, supported by trained facilitators. Water-based experiences on the Khandepar backwaters and guided walks through an in-house spice farm add a slower, nature-immersive dimension. Nature Trails Rock Valley also caters to school and college groups through structured outdoor learning and environmental awareness programmes.
With all-inclusive dining, multiple restaurants, pet-friendly facilities and conference infrastructure for up to 120 guests, the resort targets families, groups and corporate off-sites.
Mahesh Iyer, Managing Director & CEO, Thomas Cook (India) Limited, said the Goa expansion aligns with the company’s strategy to scale experience-led domestic travel offerings, with more Nature Trails destinations planned.
