Mango Lake Campground

With 60 acres of mango farms, the hills around, a lake and the woods, there’s seriously nothing else we suggest when you come over for an outdoors weekend. We’ll help you setup a bonfire if you’re like to light one (it’s a challenge!), go on a trek up the rocky hillside up to the temple, maybe build a raft and go across the lake! And if you’d like to help with some farm activity, let us know. If you come cycling, or get your own bikes along, the place is great for riding around. There’s also a couple of abandoned gold mines in the area we could point you to!

Backyard Camp

Feel the earth, listen in on zephyr discourse. No walls to shade the breaking orange horizon, just you and the stars above. The best way to experience the outdoors – camping!It’s here we want you to find whatever that makes you happy, content – read a book under the jamun tree, scribble away listening to frogs residing in the living pond, relish local food, play the guitar, go on a hike, observe paper wasps build nests, bird watch, farm, or experience the joy of doing absolutely nothing.

River Run Farm stay

Our campsite is a self-sufficient farm created using Zero Budget Natural Farming that employs state-of-the-art, eco-friendly methods of cultivation. The huge stretch of fertile land produces a variety of herbs, fruits, vegetables and spices. The farm is a complete realm by itself: A herd of cows, a herd of rabbits and guinea pigs, geese, sheep, chicken, goats and a couple of watchful dogs.

The area is full of hills, rocks and boulders to climb! Kabbaladurga is a huge hillock and fairly challenging hike – many travel there from Bangalore to go climb this alone.

Staying in the tents, with minimal-yet-comfortable gear, sitting under the stars and living a farm life for a couple of days is a very different, relaxed vacation all by itself. We’ll setup a bonfire in the evenings and have books and board games to keep you engaged with zero-screen time for a whole weekend
