Off The Grid
A completely different Homestay experience in the Western Ghats

Activities

Activities. The wilderness around Off The Grid is a natural adventure playground. There are many hidden waterfalls which we visit, and more than that you will have these places to yourself too. A private waterfall exists almost inside the property itself, a better swimming pool you could not find. The whole area is also teaming with wildlife. There is no shortage of things to do just in the immediate surroundings. Each stay at Off The Grid includes a guided visit to the nearby waterfall and also a guided 2 hour trek.

Wildlife by Night. The area is teaming with wildlife, such as The Indian Gaur (locally known as Bison), these are the largest bovine on the planet. Plenty of Sambar, Spotted deer, Porcupine, Sloth bear and many Leopards prowl around these jungles. Since there is a whole maize of deserted village roads, a night ride can often be done.

Waterfall Day Trip this is a full day trip out to South India's second largest waterfall. We take you in the jeeps on some thrilling 4WD tracks before taking to foot and trekking in the last 1 hr. This will bring you to the tip of the falls, far from the thronging tourists in Goa below. You will be alone in silent evergreen jungles with views on a clear day to the Arabian sea 120km away. Swim in the empty pools and frothy water slides before returning home for dinner. A truly spectacular day out.

"In the Jungle I remained,
A temple of stone,
A crane flew by,
This is being in life."

Maximillian Von Harling, Phd Philosophy (Anthropology) Hamburg University, Germany.



Trekking. With a fantastic climate and mixture of forests, grasslands and streams that are almost bereft of other people, trekking here is ideal. We can take you on full day treks and for those with more time at their disposal we can even do an overnight trek and set up camp on route, cook on the fire and see if we spot any wildlife during the ideal conditions at dusk and dawn. The best way to enjoy the remoteness of the area.
