GURUGRAM: Once the October heat eases, school groups, office teams and families in Gurugram start looking for a full day outdoors that is not a mall or a resort pool. Farm picnic sites, built around village food and old-style games, are one answer. This guide looks at two that publish their details online, Lohagarh Farms off Sohna Road and Pratapgarh Farms in Jhajjar, using only what their own websites say as read on 7 October 2026.
Lohagarh Farms is the closer of the two. Its website gives the address as Village Gairatpur Baas, near Badshahpur, Sohna Road, and lists its timings as 9 am to 6 pm. Two phone numbers and an email address are given for enquiries. The about page describes the place as a desi-style rural retreat decorated with local crafts, a short drive from the city.
The farm says its aim is to recreate the simple games and routines of a village childhood, and its activities page is long. Under games and sports it lists cricket, volleyball, basketball, badminton, trampoline, lattoo, kushti, kanche, gulel, darts, archery, kabaddi, kite flying, tug of war, kho-kho, sack race and matki phod, along with board games such as carrom, chess and ludo.
The rural activities section names camel and camel cart rides, tractor and bullock cart rides, mehndi, head massage, a tube well bath and mist shower, charkha, chakki, pottery making, dairy and farming activities, and bird and animal feeding. There is also a rope and obstacle section with a commando crawl, Tarzan swing, Burma bridge, commando net and rope ladder, and the page lists a zip line, air cycling, a haunted house, puppet and magic shows and a DJ among its special attractions.
For offices, Lohagarh lists instructor-led and team-building games such as spider web, blind ball retrieval, human ladder and confined soccer, as well as a boot camp circuit of rope bridges, tyre crossings and net crossings. These lists come from the farm's own pages. The site does not say which activities run every day and which need a minimum group size, so that is worth asking before a team booking.
Food is set out in time slots on the menu page. Breakfast runs from 9 am to 11 am, with items such as poori with aloo sabzi, stuffed paratha with curd, white makhan, halwa or kheer. Lunch is listed from 1 pm to 3 pm, with paneer, rajma or chole, dal, mixed vegetables, rice, tandoori rotis and a sweet. Snacks such as pakoras with tea, golgappe, shikanji, chaach, rabdi jalebi and kadhai doodh are shown as available through the day.
The menu page also lists a special section cooked on a mitti ka chulha, with missi, makki and bajre ki roti, sarson ka saag or kadhi and bajre ki khichdi, and a winter special of hot gulab jamun from 1 November to 28 February. Prices are not shown on the farm's online booking page, which displayed Rs 0.00 when we checked, so Dalimss News is not quoting any rate. Call the farm for the current package price.
Pratapgarh Farms in Jhajjar
Pratapgarh Farms and Resorts is a longer drive, with its listed address near the railway station on Gwalison Road in Jhajjar, Haryana. It also lists a corporate office in Sushant Tower, Sushant Lok II, Sector 56, Gurugram, with a landline there and three mobile numbers for picnic bookings. The site calls itself a pioneer of farm tourism since 2008 and claims more than 150 activities. Those descriptions are the farm's own.
Its package, as described on the site, is all-inclusive: unlimited food through the day, all activities and all taxes. The site says accompanied children below five years are complimentary, up to a maximum of two children with a couple. The package price itself is not shown on the page we read.
The food plan is laid out by time of day. Breakfast is listed from 9:30 am to 12 noon, with stuffed parathas, poori chole or chole bhature and sabzi. Lunch runs from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm and includes missi, tawa or tandoori roti, pulao or jeera rice, rajma, sarson ka saag or a seasonal vegetable, paneer, kadhi and halwa. Through the day, the site lists shikanji, chaach, tea and pakoras, kadhai doodh, jalebi, chaat items, gulab jamun and sugarcane and radish from the field.
The activity list is even longer than Lohagarh's. Pratapgarh names a train ride and a boat ride alongside camel, bullock cart and tractor rides, a large rope and obstacle course, a children's play park, an indoor games pavilion with air hockey, foosball and table tennis, and bouncy and carnival games including a ferris wheel and body zorb. It also lists rural crafts such as handloom weaving and pagdi tying, and farm work such as ploughing, sowing and winnowing.
Two features stand out on the Pratapgarh list. One is a biodiversity park and theme garden with a Ramayan heritage walk, a herb garden and a nakshatra vatika. The other is a pair of museums named on the site, the Shaurya Gaatha Army Museum and the Farmers' Heritage Agricultural Museum. The site does not give opening details for them separately, so treat them as part of the day package.
A few practical points apply to both. Activities like camel rides, the tube well bath and the zip line will suit some children and not others, and neither site sets out age or height limits for each one. Neither lists a per-head price online. For a school or office group, ask in writing what the package includes, how meals are served and what the cancellation terms are; Pratapgarh links a refund and cancellation policy from its footer.
Families comparing outdoor plans closer to home can look at our guide to the Damdama Lake day trip south of the city, or our earlier walk-through of Elevate adventure park at Gwal Pahari for a rope course within city limits.
Timings, menus and activities at both farms can change with the season and with group bookings. The details here are those published on their websites on 7 October 2026, and a phone call before setting out remains the surest way to check what will be running on the day.
