Sula wine-tasting
If spending time at hotel rooms isn’t your “thing,” why not try a wine-tasting session in one of India’s most luxurious vineyards? Sula Vineyards, which is located in Maharashtra’s Nashik, offers a splendid wine-tasting session and a stroll through their luxurious vineyard. You and your friends could be in high spirits (literally) with this awesome weekend plan.
Campmonk
Another perfect outdoor experience that will give you and your besties memories for a lifetime is the good ol’ idea of camping outside in the wild. You could also indulge in adventure sports along the way, with Campmonk’s varied list of destinations. From Karnataka’s Coorg to Tamil Nadu’s Kodaikanal, take your pick from a variety of camping sites along the Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra belt. You will also get to take part in activities like kayaking, hiking, swimming, cycling, or even living alongside local fauna. For the campers who prefer a touch of luxury to your experiences, check out the idea of glamping, which is a word combining ‘glamour’ and ‘camping’.
Udemy
For the slightly serious, studious friends (which most of us have in every group), Udemy’s gift vouchers for various courses may be the ideal choice for a gift. You could learn and acquire a new skill or improve an existing one with Udemy’s professionals, who offer various courses on web design, fashion, Photoshop, photography, music, IT and software, to name a few. Udemy will provide a certificate at the end of the course, which could be a cherry on the cake for your work resume. Make knowledge the perfect gift for your friends this Friendship Day!
