We had a great time here, its nice to be in touch with nature. Working on the farmcan be some times hard physical work but also rewarding the hours you can work your can plan them yourself a little bit which is nice. There are a lot of animals on the farmso you never have to feel lonely. Thank you poobala!

The farmis the perfect place to start your Indian adventure. It is a place that transmits peace where people welcome you warmly, where you can eat typical and fresh food and where you can learn permaculture. We were here only a week but every day was full of emotions. We met many people who gave us the opportunity to participate in the puja. Poobala is an excellent host, welcoming and present. Talking to him was enriching, he made us discover many things about India. Thanks for the hospitality, we hope to be able to return one day!

The farmis home away from home. Poobala the host and the family living here treated me with kindness and love. I was able to learn a lot from different premaculture practices and experimenting an authentic indian culture. The countryside is so beautiful, if you really want to be in touch with nature and eating the best local food this place is for you. The tasks were different everyday, basically were mostly about farming, feeding the cows and harvesting the seasonal vegetables/fruits. This was my first ever experience in India so for me it was perfect to start slow my journey here.

I couldn't have chosen a better place to start my journey with Worldpackers. I'm leaving this place with a full heart and an enriched soul. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and the ideal location for some soul searching. As a writer, the experience has filled me with inspiration. I still have a lot to learn and I hope to come back soon. The people here are warm and welcoming, and Bala is a wise man and great company.
