  Descripción

  We are a 150-year-old British bungalow turned nature retreat and permaculture farm, perched above the shimmering Emerald Lake in Ooty, Tamil Nadu. Our home is surrounded by tea plantations, misty hills, and the wild beauty of the Nilgiris.
  
  Guests come here for peace, local food, and the chance to reconnect with nature. Workawayers come here to create, learn, and get their hands dirty—whether in the garden or with creative projects that add soul to the place.
  
  Calling storytellers with a lens:
  THis is a place of shifting mists, glowing sunsets, and quiet moments that deserve to be captured. We’re especially looking for photographers and videographers who can help us tell the story of this 150-year-old bungalow, our permaculture farm, and the wild beauty of the Nilgiris.
  
  If you love documenting landscapes, people, food, and daily life—and turning it into short films, reels, or photo stories—this is your canvas. You’ll have the freedom to create while surrounded by nature, with endless inspiration just outside the door.
  
  We’re especially keen on welcoming people with skills in:
  
  1. Videography, photography & editing (to help us tell our story)
  
  2.Japanese Style Woodworker/Carpenter.
  
  3. Cook or experienced in the kitchen.
  
  4. Yoga & wellness (to share sessions with guests and staff)
  
  5. Carpentry, DIY & building (always things to fix, improve, or invent)
  
  6. Artists & designers (murals, signage, creative touches)
  
  7. Permaculture & gardening (from planting to composting)
  
  What we offer: a calm, inspiring atmosphere, treks through untouched hills, cycling, fishing, bird-watching, bonfires, and the warmth of a family-run retreat with great food.
  
  We’re looking for hands-on, self-motivated, and creative Workawayers who want to contribute meaningfully while soaking in one of the most beautiful corners of South India.
