Cyclists on the track at Ecoland Farms, bikes lifted overhead

Thirty minutes past Hosur

The highway thins into red-earth roads.

You come off the Chennai road, take a left you would miss if you were not looking, and the traffic simply stops being a thing.

A thatched sit-out on the lawn with the valley beyond

Then the gate

Thirty-five acres, and the noise drops away.

Thatched sit-outs, cut grass, the valley falling away behind. Most people stand still for a minute before they say anything.

A campfire burning after dark at the farm

By evening

Someone has already lit the fire.

Coals going, skewers loaded, the sky doing what it does out here. This is usually the point at which somebody asks about staying another night.

The farm

A working farm thathappens to host you.

Ecoland is thirty-five acres outside Shoolagiri — orchards, open fields, a lake at the edge and hills behind it. We grow a good part of what lands on your plate, and the rest comes from farms close enough to name.

There is no lobby, no schedule and no piped music. There is a fire in the evening, a dog who will adopt you for the weekend, and more stars than most people have seen in years.

Things to do at the farm

Seven ways tolose an afternoon.

Guests around an open campfire and barbeque grill at Ecoland Farms

Every evening

Campfire & Barbeque

Tandoori grills over open coals, a fire that runs late and the kind of conversation only firelight gets out of people.

Tents pitched on the farm campsite under evening light

Overnight

Campsite Adventure

Pitch a tent beside the cottages. Hike out at dusk, sleep under canvas, wake to mist sitting low over the fields.

A mountain biker on a red-earth trail above the farm

Sunrise & evening

Mountain Biking

Red-earth trails that climb out of the farm and open onto rock faces with the whole valley underneath you.

A clear night sky full of stars over the farm fields

After 9 pm

Star Gazing

No city glow for miles. Bring the telescope out and the Milky Way turns up on schedule, most clear nights.

Fishing from the bank of Athetti Lake near Shoolagiri

All day

Fishing at Athetti Lake

Rods, patience and a flask of chai. The lake is a ten-minute walk and rarely has anyone else on it.

Trekkers walking a scrub-forest trail near the farm

2–3 hours

Forest Trekking

Walk out through the scrub forest with our guides, past dolmens older than most things you have stood next to.

A family birdwatching on the farm at dawn

Dawn

Birdwatching

Bee-eaters, hoopoes, drongos and the occasional kingfisher working the lake. Bring binoculars, or borrow ours.

One day,start to finish.

Nothing here is compulsory. This is simply how most weekends tend to go once people stop checking their phones.

6:30

Mist and a first cup

Filter coffee on the sit-out while the fields are still grey.

8:30

Breakfast off the farm

Idli, sambar and chutney — most of it grown a hundred steps away.

11:00

Out to the lake

Coracles, rods and shade. Nothing that needs to be anywhere.

13:30

A long farm lunch

Served under the thatch. Second helpings are assumed.

16:30

Trails and kites

Bikes for some, a kite and open lawn for everyone else.

19:00

Fire and grill

Coals lit, skewers loaded, the day slows right down.

21:00

Lights out, stars on

Lie back. Count what you never see from the city.

3 mealsIncluded with every stay, cooked the same day it is picked.

The farm table

Grown here,cooked here.

No menu cards, no à la carte. You eat what the farm has that day, at a long table, with everyone else — which is most of the point.

  • MorningIdli, sambar, coconut chutney and filter coffee on the sit-out.
  • NoonA full South Indian thali under the thatch — rice, two vegetables, rasam, curd.
  • EveningTandoori grilling over the campfire, vegetarian or otherwise, cooked as you watch.
  • AnytimeFruit off the trees, tea when you want it, and a kitchen that says yes to requests.

What guestssay after.

Pulled from reviews left on Google and Instagram by people who came for one night and tried to extend.

An oxygen-filled environment. We slept better in two nights here than we had in a month in the city.
Priya R.  ·  Bangalore
Delicious homely food, and the staff went out of their way for our kids. The bonfire was the highlight.
Satish K.  ·  Chennai
Cozy, calm and serene. The sunrise over the fields alone is worth the drive.
Ananya M.  ·  Whitefield
They let us bring our dog and treated him better than us. He has not stopped sulking since we left.
Rahul V.  ·  Koramangala
Clean cottages, honest pricing, and a lake you get to yourself. We have already rebooked.
Deepa S.  ·  Electronic City
Worked remotely for three days from the sit-out. Best office view I have had.
