By Invitation. Into a Different Way of Living
Aanandaa is a private family farm and home that we open, in a small and thoughtful way, to those who feel genuinely drawn to a slower, more rooted way of life.
Our farm stays are created for people curious about
permaculture
,
sustainable living
farming and reconnecting with nature in a more meaningful way. Guests stay in an independent rammed earth cottage, share freshly harvested meals with our family, spend time in the gardens, and experience the quiet rhythms of life on the farm. Because this is an intimate space and not a commercial retreat, each stay is offered by invitation. We review every request and invite guests who we are confident will enjoy this experience and whose expectations we can meet.
A Home Away From Home
A few days at Aanandaa will inspire you to lead a more conscious life, and give you practical insights & strategies on how to make this transition. You will realise that being one with nature is the best way to enjoy life - it is just not advertised!

More than 15 years ago, while at the peak of their corporate careers, Manisha and Agam chose a different path—using their skills, resources and weekends to regenerate a barren piece of land and create a green legacy for future generations. Alongside their daughters, Radha and Ira, they transformed Aanandaa into a thriving ecosystem. Today, Manisha teaches permaculture full-time, while Agam supports the farm through infrastructure, design and administration. Different in personality, united in purpose.
