  Description

  Hi! I'm Kireet, and Soil is my home. And I would love to open my home to you and give you a piece of my peace.
  
  I built this place a couple of years ago, but since I used to travel as a musician, I couldn't really focus on this venture. Now I'm here and finally able to host lovely people at this beautiful, quaint place.
  
  I manage the cooking and there's an additional person I've employed for the general up keep of the place.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  It's a relatively less-explored village, and most people still engage in traditional practices, such as handloom weaving, chiseling and wood carving, along with farming.
  
  Could be a nice opportunity to get a hands-on experience and maybe learn and teach a thing or two.

  Help

  Assisting the guests with directions and check-in. You'll also be expected to help me with some tasks or cleaning, whenever required.

  Accommodation

  A clean, private room in the same unit as mine. You can also stay in the cabins whenever they're available. There's a common kitchen if you'd like to cook. I'll stock the ingredients and workawayers can cook for themselves or eat what I cook.

  What else ...

  There's a lot to do when there's no work. Hike, learn, do whatever you like, but keep in mind that the place is meant for slow, meaningful living.
  
  While the property is on road, getting to nearby villages and towns could be a challenge if you do not have a personal vehicle.
  
  Local bus stand is 3 km away, and you could either hike down, or I could arrange for a taxi.
