Grow spices, coffee, rice, chikoo and mango on a 45-acre solar-powered farm in the forests of the Western Ghats.

The Hermitage is a well-appointed and secluded working farm set amidst lush forests. If you are a wildlife enthusiast or nature watcher, keen on birding in India, a nature photographer, enjoy trekking, or just simply love the outdoors, then the Hermitage is a perfect holiday destination for you.

Your farm stay at the Hermitage will give you an opportunity to experience and observe life in rural India, rare for those who live in cities.

You can take cooking or pottery lessons, go bird watching, drive a John Deere 5045, or relax by the stream.

Apart from the domesticated animals, you’ll see birds, monkeys, bears, fruit bats and deer.
