Slow Travel

Central to the holiday is staying with the rural family and understanding a way of life so different from ours, while at the same time making a contribution that will help sustain it. At Culture Aangan, a lot of thought has gone into designing our home stays. All homes are constructed using natural materials such as laterite, mud, and timber. In addition, flush tanks in the restrooms operate at half turns for low consumption flushes. All domestic drain water outlets are directed to the plants and trees surrounding these homes. Being located in villages, all homes have wells used for rainwater harvesting. There are small vermiculture (earthworm culture) units to make organic compost to nurture the vegetable patches in all the homes, low consumption fire wood water boilers, and terracotta coolers as an alternative for refrigerators.
