The agro-tourism programme

Make the farm a reason to stay, spend and return.

The productive landscape becomes part of the hospitality product and gives guests a reason to stay, spend and return.

Pears, coffee, spices, seasonal fruit, kitchen gardens and animal interactions can support farm-to-table menus, guided experiences, retail products and a produce supply loop across selected High Altitude properties.

₹3–₹5 lakhOwner-reported annual farm sales across recent seasons, before hospitality and experience income. To be verified during project validation.

The final accommodation mix and placement will follow survey and commercial feasibility. This visualization illustrates how stays, shared spaces, farm terraces and pathways can follow the natural contours without flattening the site.

The agro-tourism experience

Stay, taste and take home the farm.

Guests can walk the orchard, discover spices, harvest seasonal produce, share farm-to-table meals, interact with animals, drink site-grown coffee and purchase selected products. This deepens the stay while creating additional revenue opportunities.
