The morning walk in the fresh air is indeed refreshing! The farm guide will take you through the morning processes of milking, cleaning the cows, massaging them, and finally letting them out to pasture. Also, close by is our traditional house where you can experience and take part in processes like churning yogurt and ghee.

Return to the lodge for breakfast. Mid-morning you can relax in our picnic area as you wait for the afternoon activity of taking the cows to water. This is normally done between 12.00 and 1.00 pm depending on the weather and takes approximately one hour. Thereafter, return to the lodge and relax. You can play some outdoor games like volleyball, badminton or soccer, take a dip in the pool or relax in the steam bath and sauna.
