The space Ideally located at the base of the Paradise Beach - Half Moon Beach-Trail this Silent, Still, Clean Air, Walk-to-The-Beach-Farm is perfect for small yoga groups who love nature and a bit of luxury. Two airconditioned luxury glamping structures and a large lap pool managed and run by a group of Gokarna locals, with an intimate understanding of the region, allow for a unique experience of a sacred and ancient landscape. The farm was once owned by a sage who was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's authority on the Vedas. ( For the younger gen's benefit the Maharishi was a spiritual guide to both the Beatles and Deepak Chopra.) The farm is located in a green womb with only trees as far as the eye can see in every direction. Activities revolve around a large pool which also harvests water during the monsoon. Silence and stillness are the farm's main attributes. You can hear the beating of birds wings as they fly overhead. Palm leaf shadows flitting over your body in the breeze, are often the only movement you experience. In the distance the cooing of doves and the murmurring of waves lull your senses. Two relatively untouched small beaches accessible only on foot are a short (15 to 20 min) walk away from the property through ecologically rare original coastal forest. By the way don't get nervous about the silence. Nothing stops you from having a raucous sit down dinner with friends under the stars if you really feel like it. The farm was conceived of by 'Shunyachi' a pioneering Airbnb super host, writer, poet, photo artist and philosopher. Previous Shunyachi creations have been called ' Zen Gems' ( I-Escape) and home to one of the world's top 20 yoga holidays ( The Guardian U.K.). This very private couples farm is managed by a hand picked group of knowledgable locals. Experiences can include: Coastal hikes which harness meditation niches with panoramic ocean views used by sages over the centuries. Chanting Mantras with local Brahmin priests at home on the farm. Walking through surrounding jungles and wetlands in search of birds and reptiles. Kayak fishing in rocky coves. Adrenalin pumping tuk-tuk rides at night through narrow crowded cobbled streets in the ancient temple town of Gokarna. Guest access The Entire farm belongs to guests as if it were their own home.
