Farm Stay
The farm house is a flagship dwelling of our sustainable living. In order to maintain the serenity of the place without putting any stress on the natural resources, we have only two rooms for our guests.

ACCOMMODATIONS
We offer two spacious rooms each of which are split into a ground and mezzanine floors and can sleep 4-6 adults comfortably. We take maximum two families at a time for stay.
THE FARM HOUSE WITH A QUADRANGLE
The house has been designed by an architect, and incorporates reused doors, windows and Mangalore tiles. The team spent months and months in scouring the villages of rural Karnataka to procure these reusable materials. The compressed mud bricks are made on the farm using the mud from the farm. The result is a very beautiful yet rustic barn, that immediately transports the visitor to a rural setting , yet have access to the simple modern amenities that we are so used to these days.
Electricity is mostly on solar with occasional switch over to grid power on cloudy/rainy days.
With a rural Karnataka cuisine, your taste buds are sure to delight any time of the day.
If relaxing is more your style, be sure to spend your afternoon unwinding and relaxing, reading a book amidst the birds and the trees.
Typical one-day stay schedule looks like the following:
Morning (before breakfast)
Yoga session or trekking or bird-watching or or visit a dam nearby or visit the local village and experience the life there.
After that you can have breakfast and take bath, etc.
Before noon session is a guided farm tour with fresh lemon juice. You can participate in planting some trees or vegetables or harvesting farm produce like chikku, chillies, rose apple, etc. After lunch you can play games like lagori, shuttle badminton, tennicoit ring, flying disc, etc. You can also play with cows, calf, chicken, dogs, etc. if interested.
After evening snacks and tea/coffee, you can enjoy star-gazing in the fresh farm air, along with a camp-fire. Dinner follows.
In addition to simply lazing around in the farm and doing nothing you can sit back and relax with a book on a hammock or play some rural indoor games like chowkabara, pagade, etc. any time throughout the day and in the evenings.
We don’t have TV in the room. (We do have wifi in the farm, but we advise you to stay away from it unless you have come to work from farm). Food is vegetarian only, cooked fresh in front of your eyes in an open kitchen, by the lady cooks from the same village. (You are also free to take cooking sessions from them). You will be served local, rural Karnataka specialties for all meals and we can share the menu with you to choose from.
Jain food and food without onion/garlic available on prior request.
Chiguru Farm is only for those who are interested in natural space and farming,
DISCLAIMER: While we put all our efforts to make your stay comfortable, there could be situations (like storm, heavy rains, etc) which will be out of our control, which may result in power outage, running water stoppage, etc. Being located in a remote village close to the forests, it will not be easy to rectify such issues quickly and this may cause inconvenience to our guests. We hope our guests understand this.
