Program Details

Our volunteer program is based on simple living, organic farming, and learning directly from a rainforest landscape. We host a small number of volunteers at a time to ensure meaningful engagement and personal interaction.

Volunteers support us with day-to-day farm activities, land care, and small ongoing projects. In return, we offer a peaceful stay in a rainforest valley, shared meals, basic guidance, and opportunities to learn about sustainable farming, ecology, and rural life in the southern India.

This is not a resort or tourist setup. Life here is quiet, nature-driven, and sometimes physically demanding, but deeply rewarding for those who enjoy slow living and being close to the forest.

Activities & Shift

Volunteers usually collaborate 4–5 hours per day, mainly in the mornings.

Typical activities include:

Organic farming tasks such as planting, weeding, mulching, composting, and soil preparation

Maintaining pathways, farm areas, and basic structures

Helping with small conservation or land-restoration activities

Assisting with simple daily chores related to farm life

Activities are flexible and depend on weather, season, and ongoing needs. Afternoons and evenings are generally free for rest, nature walks, reading, journaling, or quiet exploration around the farm.

Rules

Respect the forest, wildlife, and local community at all times

No drugs and no loud partying; this is a calm, nature-focused space

Maintain cleanliness in shared spaces

Follow basic safety instructions, especially around wildlife and farm tools

Be open-minded, adaptable, and willing to participate sincerely

Limited internet connectivity is part of the experience. This place is best suited for volunteers who want to disconnect from fast-paced digital life and reconnect with nature.
