Ask us about...

We have been traveling around Europe and have seen agritourism being practiced in Italy and other countries. Also, working with people from urban India, a massive disconnect between the urban population and rural India, and as such with the source of food became apparent. It seemed that there’s a huge need for spaces in which city folks can disconnect from the man made urban environment and reconnect to their rural roots, as also to the source of their food.

We would like our guests to see that it’s totally feasible to break the mold and lead a very happy life in the country side, in an actual jungle, rather than chasing happiness in the concrete jungle. We are happy to share our experience in transitioning from a consumptive urban to a regenerative rural lifestyle. At the very bare minimum, we hope to instill a basic fascination and respect for the natural environment all around us, which may motivate some to take more conscious decisions in their day to day lives.
