My time at the lodge was quite comfortable- the homecooked meals are delicious, the room provided for volunteers is peaceful, and the scenery is amazing. However, when it comes to tasks and communication that is where things became a bit more difficult. Only the owner speaks English and is not around most of the time. Many times when I asked to help, one person would tell me to start a task and then ten minutes into the job another person would tell me to start. Overall, it felt that they were not really utilising volunteers to their potential.

The lodge is a very unique experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to escape the busy world. There is very little to do around the lodge most days, so I spent much of my time reading or exploring the surrounding hillside. It's somewhat difficult to get into the city and back, but perfect for a nice retreat.

The lodge was a very pleasant stay. I photographed & updated their Instagram. Pranav is a great person who offers you space to both enjoy and make great work. We had interesting talks about culture & history. The amazing staff are hard working people and will help you wherever they can. Food & accommodation was good and greatly appreciated. They surprised me with a home recipe at the end! I recommend for volunteers who enjoy art, nature, local culture and interacting with guests who stay there. They taught me to make chapatis! Hope to see you all again!
