    Description

    Greetings! By profession I am a Network Architect. By passion, a musician and an organic farmer.

    I cultivate an eco farm and as well operate a farm stay. This is a peaceful environment away from civilization, about 25 minutes walk. The nearest village is 2 kms away.

    It's an integrated farm cultivated with Avocados, jack fruit, native bananas, guavas, passion fruits, beans, strawberries and herbals coexisting with chicken, ducks and fishes.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Organic farming, observation of Flora, fauna and natural habitat in the region, interaction with the hill people and tribes around the locality.

    As well, exposure to cook native recipes and growing own vegetables for consumption.

    Every now and then one can escape to Kodaikanal town or Vattakanal which is a major tourist attraction, filled with lots of events.

    Nearby village, Thandikudi is a heritage site, for those who would like to explore archaeological remains.
