  Beschreibung

  Hi! I'm Mayuresh, a mechanical engineer who studied in Pune. After completing my degree, I felt a strong pull back to my roots and returned to my beautiful village, Panchnadi in Dapoli (Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra). Here, I’ve created Mankupi – Camping & Farm of Peace, a project close to my heart that brings together nature, simple living, and mental well-being.
  Mankupi is not just a campsite — it's a growing space of healing, sustainability, and creativity. It’s where people come to slow down, connect with the land, and experience the beauty of rural life in Konkan.
  
  About the Project -
  Our mission is to build a peaceful and sustainable space through:
  *Eco-friendly camping experiences under the open sky.
  *An upcoming homestay focused on mental health and natural living.
  *Organic farming using traditional methods, with a mix of fruit trees, vegetables, and herbs.
  *Seasonal nature camps and workshops for kids and adults, especially during summer and monsoon.
  *A pop-up monsoon café that celebrates local flavors like jackfruit chips and rain-soaked tea.
  *A dream to establish an NGO focused on eco-therapy and emotional wellness for village communities.
  
  What You Can Do & See Locally -
  *Help with organic farming, building, gardening, and creative eco-projects.
  *Join or assist in monsoon camps, nature trails, and local events.
  *Explore Konkan’s lush greenery, waterfalls, rivers, and local wildlife.
  *Learn about sustainable living, village culture, and seasonal farming cycles.
  *Enjoy bonfires, outdoor cooking, and warm local hospitality.
  *Spot occasional surprises — like a crocodile at the dam or a rare bird near your tent!
  
  As a Host -
  I value honesty, creativity, and connection. You’ll be treated like family here, with space to share your ideas, grow skills, and enjoy the peace that Mankupi naturally offers. Whether you're helping with hands-on work or just bringing your good energy to this land, your presence will be appreciated.
  Looking forward to sharing this little piece of green magic with you!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Cultural Exchange & Learning Experience -
  As a Work awayer, you won’t just visit — you’ll become part of the Mankupi family. We live closely with nature, and even closer with each other. You'll be welcomed like a friend, and slowly, like family.
  
  Here’s what you can expect to learn:
  *Konkan farming practices — from planting to harvesting.
  *Traditional village cooking and outdoor meals.
  *Local biodiversity — reptiles, insects, wild plants, and forest wisdom.
  *Village traditions, festivals, and lifestyle.
  *Basic Marathi words and phrases to feel more connected.
  *How we use nature as a tool for healing and mental peace.
  
  And here's what we’d love to learn from you:
  *New ideas about sustainability, building, or farming.
  *Your stories, music, recipes, or cultural traditions.
  *Any creative, educational, or mindful skills you'd like to share with our local kids and visitors.
  *Your language, your way of life — and how we can grow from it.
  
  How We’ll Interact -
  You’ll live close to our team, share meals, help out in daily activities, and be involved in real projects — not just tasks. We’ll work together in fields, cook together under a roof, explore the forest trails, and sit by the fire at night sharing stories. I’ll personally guide you, make sure you feel safe, welcomed, and heard.
  We respect your time and energy — you’ll have space for rest, creativity, and reflection too..
