Seasonal river retreat in India

Experience the Essence of Sustainable Living at Mrittika Farms

Nestled in the tranquil heart of the Sahyadri Hills, just 105 kilometers from Mumbai, and 45 kms from Malshej Ghat which is a well-known mountain pass and a popular hill station in the Western Ghats range in Maharashtra. Malshej Ghat is located at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level. Mrittika Farms is a labor of love and a testament to harmonious living with nature. Established a year ago, our mission is to create a sustainable haven that celebrates regenerative living, reconnecting people with the essence of Mother Earth.

At Mrittika Farms, the principles of permaculture blend seamlessly with natural building techniques, inspired by the teachings of Mr. Biju Bhaskar and the Thannal workshops. This fusion creates a unique eco-farm stay experience where every cob wall and planted seed stands as a tribute to sustainability and respect for the planet.
