At Home in the Trees
Few places come as close to so perfectly combining comfort and proximity to nature as our two tree houses, located in different parts of the property and each providing ultimate privacy for up to four guests.
None of the trees has been pierced in the construction and their roots continue to grow naturally. For the building we used hardwood from our farm, including teak, rosewood, acacia, and jackfruit timber. The result is a stunning and unshakeable testament to the beauty that arises when humans work with, rather than against, nature…
Farm Stay
For larger groups as well as individuals we also offer two door-to-door dorms with 20 bunk beds each, situated right next to our skate park and in the heart of Varanashi Organic Farms.
Whether you choose our tree houses or the dorms, your stay includes – next to real intimacy with nature & scrumptious home-cooked organic food – access to our facilities and activities, depending on your wishes.
Individuals, couples, families, and friends keen to experience eco-friendly living are all welcome.
