Activities

Our dense canopies, abundant streams and surrounding grasslands provide home to a large variety of endemic species as well as seasonal visitors. Our bird list has over 100 species and is ever growing with contributions from our guests. Ganesh, popularly known as the ‘Bird Man of Coorg,’ can be contacted for an early morning birdwatching session.

Full-day and half-day nature walks, accompanied by a trained guide, are available for an extra charge. You can participate in longer treks through idyllic landscapes or opt for more leisurely walks nearby. Popular trails include the Sacred Grove shrine in a community-protected ancient forest and the Ridge Walk along mountainous grasslands with panoramic views.

Some of our specialised workshops and programmes include a detailed interpretive tour of the farm to show how our crops are cultivated with regenerative farming methods and integrated into a rainforest ecosystem. This leads to discussions about a variety of subjects such as sustainable livelihoods, importance of biodiversity, pest-predator balances, plant biochemistry, composting systems, health and environmental effects of toxic agri-chemicals, dangers posed by GMOs and corporate control of agriculture.
