Volunteering on this eco-farm was a wonderful experience. The place is truly unique – close to nature, full of peace and positive energy. The conditions were excellent, and the food was delicious and fresh. The host was fantastic – friendly, helpful, and created a wonderful atmosphere. The yoga classes were a wonderful complement to the entire stay. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Spending 2-4 weeks at the community was one of the most rewarding and inspiring experiences of my life. From the very first day, I was welcomed into a warm and genuine community that made me feel at home in the heart of India. Together with an incredible group of people, we built huts for the hosts, completed the bar project, and transformed the gardens with new plants — seeing these spaces come to life through our collective effort was something truly special. If you're looking for a place to disconnect,and connect with amazing people, the community is the place to be.

I had a wonderful time at the community! Rohit was a warm and welcoming host and I immediately felt at home. Vipul's morning yoga was intense but a wonderful gift to be able to participate in every day. The other international volunteers were all very kind of friendly and also contributed to a beautiful community atmosphere. The grounds are beautiful, located in the jungle but just a short scooter or tuktuk ride away from from the beach and the market in Canacona. There is a beautiful peaceful river to cool off from the afternoon sun that we swam in almost every day. Highly recommended!
