Have Questions? We’re Here to Help
Here you’ll find answers to common questions about visits, farm practices, stay guidelines, and everything you may want to know before coming to Chiguru Farm.
Chiguru Farm is a lively 15-acre natural farm where farming and meaningful experiences come together. With over 35 varieties of fruit trees and a deep commitment to sustainability, it’s a space created for those who wish to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Here’s what you can experience at Chiguru Farm:
- Learn organic farming the hands-on way — understand how food is grown naturally and take part in simple farm activities.
- Harvest straight from the tree — pick seasonal fruits and enjoy them just as nature intended.
- Spend time with our farm animals — feed and interact with cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and our friendly farm dogs.
- Reconnect with nature — climb a tree, breathe deeply, walk barefoot on the soil, and let the quietness settle in.
- Enjoy fresh, farm-cooked meals — prepared mostly with ingredients grown right here.
- Experience sustainable living — see how solar energy, water harvesting, and eco-conscious practices shape everyday life on the farm.
- Play traditional rural games — simple joys rooted in local culture.
- Find your quiet corner — read a book, reflect, or simply sit under a tree with your thoughts.
- Listen and look up — wake up to birdsong and, at night, gaze at a sky untouched by city lights.
- Gather around a campfire (on cooler days) — roast cashews, jackfruit seeds, or corn and share stories.
- Take long, unhurried walks — within the farm or through nearby village paths.
Whether you’re coming to learn, to explore, or simply to pause, Chiguru Farm welcomes you to experience nature in its most honest form.

Our focus is on self-sustenance in terms of food as well as financial. We grow almost everything required for our regular food. This includes grains like ragi, dals like toordal (redgram), urad dal (black gram), moong dal (green gram), alasande/lobia (cowpea), avarekayi (hyacinth bean), spices like turmeric and mustard, sesame, etc. apart from varieties of fruits and some vegetables. We also focus on eating what grows naturally in the farm like drumstick leaves, hongone soppu, amatekayi, sundekayi, etc. After keeping sufficient quantity for our internal use, we sell the excess produce either directly or as finished products (like cold pressed oil, powders/flours, pickle, etc).
Chiguru Farm is in HarohalliTaluk in Ramanagara District, not very far from Bangalore. It is close to the border of Tamil Nadu. You can reach either from Hosur Road via Anekal/Attibele or from Kanakapura Road via Harohalli/Maralawadi.
Depending on your location in Bangalore, it is 50 to 80kms and it takes 90-120 minutes to reach Chiguru Farm from Bangalore. Remember that you will spend most of your time to get out of the city. Wherever there is an option, it is better to take the NICE Road to get out of the city.
It is also at a similar distance from Mysore.
Roads are very good as it is next to a state highway (connecting Harohalli to Hunasanahalli).
Yes, Chiguru Farm is a pet-friendly place. However you need to follow certain guidelines if you bring your pets.
Yes, you can work from farm now as we have JioFi offering decent internet speed. However, if you have Airtel connection and you need to take/make voice calls, it is not possible. We only get Jio and BSNL signal properly in the farm.
We have recently introduced half day trip option, However, as you will spend at least 3 hours on road to come and go-back, it doesn’t make sense to visit us for a few hours only. Our place is spread across 15-acres and we have a lot of varieties of crops and our farm tours are educational. Considering these points, we don’t offer any trips for few hours only.
The entire focus here is on education and farm-fresh food. So it doesn’t make sense to look for visits without food. And there are no other place in the vicinity for food. But if you insist on visiting us without food, you are welcome. However our pricing doesn’t change because of this.
Chiguru Farm is surrounded by solar electric fence. But being on the edge of Bannerghatta National Park and next to the elephant corridor, there are possibilities of encountering elephants and other wild elephants on the way. Elephants, once in a while have strayed into the farm by breaking the fence, but not affected any human beings. However it is advisable to be voluntarily cautious when you are staying overnight. In general, being a natural space, there could be occasional honeybees, snakes, lizards, mongoose, etc spotted in the farm, and we shall let them be on their own without disturbing them.
Fire extinguishers are fitted in strategic location and we ensure that they are always in working condition
CCTV camera is fitted around the farm house.
At Chiguru Farm, we believe the most beautiful things in life are the ones left just as nature intended. When we say we aren’t a resort, it’s our way of saying we’ve chosen to keep this land authentic. We’ve worked hard to preserve the natural contours, the local architecture, and the vibrant life of the farm so that when you visit, you’re experiencing the real deal.
Here is what you can expect from your stay with us:
Nature in its Purest Form We share this space with a wonderful variety of birds, butterflies, frogs, and even the occasional snake. They are the original inhabitants here, and we respect their home by avoiding city-style pest control. While we keep our rooms clean and meshed, you might still meet a friendly moth or a curious beetle—it’s all part of the farm’s charm!
A Handshake, Not a Product We don’t view our guests as “consumers.” To us, travel is a handshake—a connection between people, land, and culture. Our wonderful local staff are the heart of the farm; they take immense pride in sharing their traditional recipes and stories with you. We invite you to chat with them and see the world through their eyes.
Sustainable Simplicity Life here is gentle and intentional. We rely on solar power and practice mindful water use. While we have backup systems, we encourage you to embrace the “low-tech” life. Instead of air conditioning, try catching the afternoon breeze through an open window. Instead of bottled water, let us refill your reusable bottles with fresh, filtered water.
Living Like “Grandma’s House” Remember those childhood vacations to your grandparents’ village? That’s the feeling we want to recreate. We’ve swapped “resort luxury” for something we find much more valuable: fresh air, home-cooked vegetarian meals, and the joy of disconnecting from the digital world to reconnect with yourself.
Travel Light, Leave No Trace Because we are in a remote area, we can’t process plastic waste like cities do. We kindly ask that you carry back any plastic you bring with you—we’ll even help you pack it up! By saying no to bottled water and excessive packaging, we keep the farm—and the neighboring forest—pristine for everyone.
Pause, Breathe, and Just Be. We invite you to check your city expectations at the gate and join us in discovering what “luxury” truly means. Sometimes, it’s just a hammock, a good book, and the sound of the wind through the trees.
