Monteria was born out of the determination and selfless commitment of one person – Mr. Govind Vaghani. A civil engineer by profession, Mr. Vaghani arrived in Mumbai from rural Gujarat in 1981 with dreams of making it big in the city. Over years with his hard work and zeal he flourished and became a property developer.
Along with his success came a deep rooted sense of giving back to the community. Mumbai was his home and he wanted to do something for the community while paying an ode to his roots. With this purpose in mind, Mr. Vaghani acquired land in Khalapur and transformed it into Monteria, a village-themed resort that opened its doors on January 19, 2022. Designed to celebrate tradition, sustainability, and community welfare, Monteria blends the simplicity of rural living with modern comforts.
The resort supports the local community by providing employment to villagers and preserving traditional arts by creating opportunities for local artisans. Monteria is more than a retreat; it’s a thriving ecosystem built on sustainability, joy, and empowerment.
Govind Vaghani’s dream was to create a place that brings happiness to all—guests, villagers, and artists alike—leaving a legacy of harmony and purpose.
With over 14 years of clinical experience, Dr. Niraj Dandekar is a leading figure in authentic Ayurvedic practice. He is the founder of Shree Gajanan Ayurved Chikitsalay and Panchakarma Centre in Panvel and the CEO of Arogyakiran Organisation, which powers Monteria Wellness.
Dr. Niraj blends deep Ayurvedic wisdom with practical modern-day application. He has treated over 150 COVID patients successfully using Ayurvedic methods and holds a strong reputation for managing skin and hair conditions, gastrointestinal and metabolic disorders, lifestyle-related issues, immunity concerns, and fevers.
He believes in treating the root, not the symptom, and brings this philosophy to every therapy at Monteria Wellness.
