    Description

    We are the Earth tech Pod Amidst dense Wilderness
    A CRITICAL MILESTONE
    EN ROUTE OUR JOURNEY TO MINIMALISTIC LIFESTYLE - our conscious efforts towards
    Responsible sustainable co-existence with nature
    We are in a village located in Panchgani - famous hill station in Maharashtra, India.
    Panchgani is nestled in the middle of five hills in the Western Ghats alias Sahyādri mountain ranges. A sought out Tourists destination , Panchgani is rich in bio diversity, is well-known for its impressive tableland and string of mesas, and is a popular getaway for tourists from Mumbai and Pune

    The best time to visit Panchgani is during the winter season up to the onset of summer. The months from September to April see moderate temperatures and pleasant weather conditions, making it the most comfortable time to explore
    We Also love the Rains ! The green covers in monsoon are very welcoming………
    Me and my wife -Seema, We moved to Panchgani in 2021, along with our son Arjun and daughter Ira and eventually to “Mrudaranya” in Nov 2024!!
    We have all , ourselves, built our mud house along with help from local Labour. All the materials have been sourced from within 20kms region
    Both our Children are Homeschooled and very much involved in all the processes
