I had an incredibly enriching stay atathe community. Though the host, Poobala, was away, Vignesh and Sonu were fantastic at making the space feel welcoming. After a brief adjustment, it genuinely felt like my ownthe community. While I initially visited to capture stories and create content, I quickly embraced the volunteering spirit—waking up early to cook, clean, and care for the cows. I made wonderful friends with fellow guests and spent quiet hours reading in their cozy little library. I leave with truly memorable moments and highly recommend this peaceful retreat!

I'm atthe community, and I absolutely love this place. It's warm, peaceful, and beautifully designed, with charming architecture and serene little shrines that create a truly calming atmosphere. the communityis home to 5 friendly dogs, 6 beautiful native cows, playful cats, hens, and other animals that add to its rustic charm. As a volunteer, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a truly authentic the communitystay.

I had a wonderful time at thethe community. The host was humble, and the place is peaceful and calm. Perfect if you want to disconnect from the noise of the city. If you love animals, you'll truly enjoy your stay and never get bored. There's also a beautiful lake just a 10-minute walk away, a great spot to spend your evenings.

Volunteering at the communitywas a grounding experience. Days went in helping around in upkeep of the estate , plastering kitchen , clearing up the garden area, meaningful conversations , trying out few recipes and quiet moments in nature. Living in rhythm with the earth, I walked away with friendships and respect for Poobala to be able to create a space like this. It takes grit and vision.

Lovely place with lots of animals and fun tasks. I've learned so much about farming, agriculture, building huts and overall life itself. Poobala is a genuine host. Give yourself permission to jump into a different lifestyle and you gonna love this place. Forever grateful for this section in my life
