Mumbai, November 12, 2026: Thomas Cook (India) Limited’s experiential hospitality brand, Nature Trails, has expanded its resort network to seven properties by adding Nature Trails INA Resort in Dodamarg, Maharashtra. Marking its fourth property in the state, the addition further strengthens the brand’s presence across Maharashtra’s nature-rich destinations.

Nestled in the Sahyadri countryside, Dodamarg offers a distinctive proposition for travellers looking beyond conventional Goa holidays. Located in close proximity to North Goa, the destination combines lush green landscapes, tranquil countryside surroundings and opportunities to experience the outdoors, making it an appealing choice for travellers seeking a more relaxed getaway. Spread across three acres, Nature Trails INA Resort brings this setting to life through nature-led stays, outdoor recreation and experiences that encourage guests to connect with their surroundings.

Designed to cater to families, couples and groups, the resort offers three accommodation categories – Vana Forest View Rooms, Ira Cottages and Arka Cottages. The Vana Forest View Rooms, spread across 538 sq. ft., feature king-size beds, attached bathrooms, sofa-cum-beds and private balconies overlooking the natural surroundings. The Ira Cottages, measuring 237 sq. ft., offer king-size beds, attached bathrooms and spacious verandas, while the 388 sq. ft. Arka Cottages feature forest-facing views, king-size beds, sofa-cum-beds, attached bathrooms and balconies. Each category offers a comfortable base for guests to enjoy the resort and its outdoor experiences.

A key highlight of the resort is its range of outdoor and recreational activities. Guests can enjoy trekking, birdwatching, archery, treasure hunts and team games, offering opportunities for exploration, recreation and shared experiences. An outdoor swimming pool, set amidst lush greenery, adds to the leisure offering, making the property suitable for both relaxed family holidays and engaging group getaways.

Dining at the resort is centered around Mitra – a multi-cuisine restaurant, which features a selection of cuisines with Maharashtrian flavours as a highlight. Guests can choose between the air-conditioned dining space and the open restaurant setting, offering a relaxed dining experience with a local touch.

Located in Ker, Dodamarg, Nature Trails INA Resort also benefits from its accessibility via North Goa. Mopa Airport is approximately 40 km away, with an estimated travel time of one hour, while Thivim Railway Station is around 30 km from the property, accessible in approximately 50 minutes. Dodamarg Bus Stand is approximately 18 km away, offering connectivity for travellers arriving by road, rail and air.

“The expansion of Nature Trails is aligned with our broader strategy of building a differentiated hospitality portfolio that responds to the growing opportunity in experiential and nature-led travel. We see significant potential in destinations beyond established leisure hubs, particularly those that offer opportunities to develop distinctive holiday experiences while contributing to the growth of emerging tourism markets. Our focus is on building a portfolio with a strong destination proposition, supported by the right hospitality infrastructure and operating model.

With the addition of our resort in Maharashtra’s Dodamarg, we are strengthening our presence in a strategically important leisure market while extending the Nature Trails brand into another destination with considerable potential. As we expand the portfolio, we will continue to evaluate opportunities that align with our long-term growth priorities, strengthen our geographic footprint and create sustainable value for the business.”
