We are in a highly eco endemic and sensitive zone and we endure to respect that.Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary attained greater significance as it is identified as one of the two ecological and biological hot spots in India and covers an area of 492.30 Sq. Kms. Similarly ornithologists spotted 300 varieties of resident and migratory bird species in the BWS. Some of the species found in the BWS includes Grey Junglefowl, Red Spurfowl, Painted Bush Quail, Emerald Dove, Southern Green Imperial Pigeon, Great Black Woodpecker, Malabar Parakeet, Hill Myna, Ruby-throated Bulbul, Shama, Malabar Trogon, Malabar Whistling Thrush, four species of Hornbill and Racquet-tailed Drongo etc.

  We have a lot of activities at the farm as any farm would but especially since we are converting into organic. We follow traditional polyculture system of agriculture with permaculture principles at the heart of it.

  Saiba mais

  Por que a Workaway permite que alguns anfitriões cobrem uma taxa?
  

  A Workaway oferece oportunidades de intercâmbios culturais não monetários, em que os anfitriões fornecem alimentação e acomodação em troca da ajuda dos Workawayers. Em alguns casos excepcionais, uma pequena taxa/pedido de doação (normalmente não mais do que 5 dólares por dia) pode ser aprovada para anfitriões, como instituições de caridade registradas com histórico de feedback positivo de voluntários. Qualquer taxa deve ir diretamente para a instituição de caridade e só pode ser usada para cobrir os custos de alimentação dos voluntários. Isso será claramente indicado na listagem do anfitrião.
  

  São estritamente proibidas as listagens feitas por agentes, "intermediários" ou projetos que pareçam lucrar com a estadia de um voluntário. Quaisquer taxas devem ser discutidas e aprovadas com antecedência pela equipe do Workaway.
