Urban Stress & the Need for Natural Healing

Life in cities like Mumbai and Pune can feel like an endless race—traffic, deadlines, screens, and constant noise. This urban stress leads to anxiety, fatigue, and burnout. While weekend getaways often revolve around shopping malls or crowded tourist spots, these rarely provide true mental rest. Enter forest bathing—a Japanese practice known as Shinrin-Yoku—which encourages slowing down, walking mindfully through trees, and absorbing the healing energy of nature. At Nature Trails resorts, surrounded by forests, lakes, and waterfalls, guests can experience this practice effortlessly.


What is Forest Bathing?

Forest bathing doesn’t mean a dip in the water. It means:

  • Walking slowly in nature
  • Observing sounds, colours, textures of the forest
  • Breathing deeply in fresh, oxygen-rich air
  • Disconnecting from gadgets
  • Reconnecting with yourself

Research shows forest bathing reduces stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, boosts immunity, and improves focus.
