    Description

    Hey there, fellow explorers! 👋

    We are the folks behind a rustic, off-the-grid glamping retreat tucked away in the heart of South & West India, at Khopoli, Near Mumbai & Ramanagara, Near Bangalore, Karnataka – where boulders touch the skies, and silence is a language of its own.

    What began as a simple dream to disconnect from city chaos and live in sync with nature has grown into a, soulful space where people from different backgrounds, cultures, and skillsets come together to create, contribute, and connect.

    Our team is a beautiful blend of people from pan India, and over time, we’ve hosted friends, volunteers, and guests from various walks of life – artists, trekkers, farmers, digital nomads, techies, nature lovers, and builders. The diversity here is real, and it’s something we celebrate every day.

    We believe in:
    🛖 Close-to-nature living – minimal, meaningful, and mindful
    👐 Open cultural exchange – we’re always learning from each other
    ✍️ Creative freedom – got an idea? Let’s build it
    🧠 Learning by doing – no manuals here, just real-time experience
    🌍 Sustainable practices – from upcycling waste to using local materials
    ❤️ Living by choice, not by default – slow down, be intentional

    Help

    Our space is alive with creativity, nature, and community spirit — and we’re looking for hands-on, passionate people to join the journey!

    Here are some of the areas where your energy will be most welcome:

    Gardening & Landscaping:
    Help us nurture our organic gardens — from planting, composting, and watering to pruning, mulching, and harvesting. If you love working with soil and learning about sustainable agriculture, you’ll thrive here.

    Kitchen Help:
    Support our kitchen with meal prep, cleaning, and cooking using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Bonus if you love fusion cooking or are eager to learn!

    Upcycling & Creative Projects:
    If you're an artist, DIY enthusiast or enjoy working with reclaimed materials, bring your creativity! We love transforming “waste” into useful or beautiful things — furniture, decor, or even signage.

    Eco-Building & Maintenance:
    Pitch in with ongoing natural building work using mud, bamboo, or other earthy materials. You'll help with repairs, small structures, or building rustic furniture — no prior experience needed, just enthusiasm and a love for hands-on work.

    Community Engagement:
    Be part of hosting small events, sharing knowledge, storytelling around the fire, or just bringing positive vibes to the people passing through. Great for those who enjoy connection and collective living.

    We’re looking for people who are open-minded, proactive, and happy to sweat a little under the sun. You don’t need to be an expert — just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn and contribute.

    Whether you're staying for a few weeks or longer, there's always something meaningful to help build, grow, or share here.
