The Experience

The approach of the farm is to be a sustainable role model for the community around. We believe in learning and sharing the food, values, culture and are open to learning the same from our volunteers.

Garima & Abhinav were really nice people & the lodge's idea about is good. The hostel is really far from the city & even though it is close to the airport (3kms away) it is really difficult to leave the hostel if you want to travel around. But as a plus side there's a forest within 100m from the place. Maybe because of Covid lockdown the place was not in its best shape. kitchen was unhygienic & the room where I stayed is ok. Organization & cleaning is necessary. If you are looking for some quite place, this is a nice farmstay but be sure you talk about everything before with host

A sweet place to be. Visiting the farm was certainly an experience to remember. Both of the hosts Garima and Abhinav was super friendly and made me feel like home there. Well planned tasks, tons of fun times, basically farm was the full package. From learning from locals to teaching them some skills, my whole experience was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who would love to have some peace time and to be with the nature.

We had an amazing time at the hostel, surrounded by nature and by amazing people. We enjoyed chilling barefoot inside the yard, eating delicious Indian food and doing yoga at sunset on the rooftop. The village is beautiful, the people are welcoming and the jungle is only 5 minutes walk from the hostel. We really recommend this experience and we will absolutely go back soon. Thank you for hosting us!! ❤️❤️
