Surrounded by acres of farmland, canals and woodland, the farm is a wonderfully secluded escape in the rolling countryside of Northern India. The farm’s mud and straw-plastered guest cottages are inspired by the traditional settlements built on the banks of the Indus River in 3,000 BC and blend seamlessly with the landscape.
Inside, flooded by natural light through large windows, the rustic nature of the exterior is upheld by the perfectly curated lime whitewashed walls, dark furnishings and subtle artworks. The cuisine is inspiringly authentic using fresh ingredients sourced locally and from the farm itself. Food is served across a range of outdoor dining spots; from a secluded veranda nestled amongst tall trees to alongside flickering bonfires under a starry sky.
What we love
- We loved the experience of the local-style cold dip, jumping into the traditional ‘tube-well’ plunge pool
- The property offers a chance to work as a ‘farmer for an hour’ on the farm, learning traditional and sustainable cultivation methods
- Hop onboard an ancient bullock cart to roll slowly through the farms and villages, gently experiencing their time-honoured way of life
- A visit to a local Gurudwara to observe the evening Kirtan (holy hymns) offers a deep insight into the spiritual resonance of the region
The farm removes you entirely from the bustle of the busy cities, immersing you in a remote rural culture. It is a 90-minute drive from the nearest city of Amritsar, so not the best choice if you’re after a base for city sightseeing
Families are welcomed on the farm, and are easily accommodated in the cottages. The farm boasts a range of activities suitable for children and the warm and attentive staff will be more than happy to make suggestions for family days out
Sustainable, eco-friendly principles are at the heart of the farm’s stewardship, from its waste management to its use of botanical fertilisers and crop rotation schemes. The cottages themselves were built using traditional, low-impact construction methods, with a local workforce Community is at the heart of the farm; not only is all the food locally sourced, but the staff encourage and accompany guests to visit the neighbouring communities and immerse themselves in the local culture
The hotel sits in the far north of Punjab, the nearest international airport is 90km away at Amritsar. Trains across Indian run from Gurdaspur Railway Station, 20km away
