During your stay
Whether you need assistance, want to learn more about our permaculture practices, or are simply looking for recommendations for activities or meals, I’m here to help. Feel free to approach me with any questions, requests, or just for a friendly chat!
While I’m always happy to interact and share insights about the farm, workshops, or the local area, I also respect your privacy and will ensure you have the space and solitude you need to relax and rejuvenate.
Your experience at Swa Vana is our priority, and I look forward to making it truly special for you.
Other things to note
Our farm is located amidst the Savandurga State Forest, a diverse and thriving ecosystem. During your stay, you may hear the calls of peacocks, spot playful langurs, or catch glimpses of spotted deer and wild boars. For bird enthusiasts, the area is a haven with species like the Indian roller, kingfisher, and black-shouldered kite gracing the skies. If you’re lucky, you might even see a majestic leopard or a family of sloth bears in the wilderness nearby.
The natural surroundings also include a perennial pond, which attracts a variety of wildlife, making it an ideal spot for quiet observation or meditation.
While the forest enriches the experience, it also means we coexist with nature responsibly. We encourage guests to respect the wildlife, avoid feeding animals, and follow safety guidelines while exploring the area.
Whether you’re here for a quiet retreat or to engage in our workshops and activities, Swa Vana offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and witness its raw beauty.
