Vanavasa – Into the Wild | A Curated Forest Retreat in Coorg
Experience Nature Beyond the Ordinary with Plan The Unplanned
Come for the forest. Stay for the feeling.
Not every journey needs a checklist of places to visit. Sometimes, the most memorable experiences come from slowing down, stepping away from the everyday rush, and immersing yourself in nature.
Vanavasa is a thoughtfully curated 2-day forest retreat in Coorg, designed for travellers who want to experience nature rather than explore another destination.
Nestled amid lush coffee plantations and the greenery of the Western Ghats, Vanavasa blends the comfort of a premium nature stay with authentic outdoor experiences.
Imagine waking up to the sounds of birds, exploring private nature trails, walking through coffee plantations with a local guide, trekking along a flowing stream, and enjoying a simple breakfast by the riverside. As the day unfolds, discover a plantation waterfall, venture out on a night jeep safari, or spend a quiet afternoon relaxing in a hammock.
While the property offers a premium and comfortable stay, the experiences remain intentionally raw, natural, and immersive. There are no elaborate outdoor arrangements or manufactured luxury in the wilderness. Just meaningful moments spent close to nature.
Vanavasa isn't about ticking off Coorg's tourist attractions. It's about slowing down, embracing the outdoors, and experiencing the quieter side of the Western Ghats.
Who Is Vanavasa For?
Vanavasa is designed for travellers who appreciate nature, authentic outdoor experiences, and a slower approach to travel.
Nature Lovers and Outdoor Enthusiasts

Travellers Seeking a Meaningful Escape

Those Who Appreciate Comfort and Authenticity
Travellers who value a premium, comfortable property while understanding that outdoor experiences are best enjoyed in their natural setting, without unnecessary luxury arrangements.

Adventure Seekers Who Enjoy the Little Things
Travellers who find excitement in walking through muddy trails, crossing streams, exploring plantations, and discovering hidden natural spots.

Important Notes
To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:
No alcohol or smoking
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Dinner before boarding
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
Travel arrangements
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
"Without Travel" option
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Embrace the outdoors
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
Food provided
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Leave no trace policy
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
