Seven days without a screen

Chetna Farm sits in Chalsa, on the edge of Neora Valley forest. The land borders Gorumara National Park — 20 minutes by road. The Neora River is a 10-minute walk.

This is not a wellness resort. There is no facilitator lineup, no curated programme, no soundtrack. The daily rhythm is the farm's own. The bees work. The cattle move. Tea grows under the arecanut shade. You fit into that — not the other way around.

Seven days is long enough for the silence to stop feeling uncomfortable.

Daily rhythm

Evenings are unstructured. One full day across the week is left completely free.

Six guided activities

• — Beekeeping. Open live hives. Two indigenous species — Apis cerana and Tetragonula iridipennis. Honey tasting at the end.
• — Jeevamrutha. Make the fermented soil tonic from scratch. Cow dung, jaggery, pulse flour, farm soil. Hands in the mix.
• — Mushroom foraging. Walk the farm edges and tree lines. Identify by gill pattern and spore print. Cook and eat what we find.
• — Tea processing. Hand-roll and wok-fire a small batch of green tea from the farm's own bushes.
• — Soil observation. Compare treated and untreated zones under a magnifying glass. Understand why Jeevamrutha works.
• — Forest edge walk. Neora Valley boundary. Slow walk, birdwatch, no agenda.
