The Aravallis look different in the monsoon. The dust settles, the hills go a deep green we don't see the rest of the year, and the whole farm smells like wet earth by evening.
It's also when the vegetable garden is at its busiest. Amit still checks it most mornings — a habit from decades of building things by hand and wanting to see them grow the way he planned. Right now we've got okra, chillies, and a stubborn patch of spinach that keeps coming back no matter how much we pick.
What ends up on your plate
If you're staying with us this time of year, don't be surprised if dinner includes something that was in the ground that morning. We don't run a farm-to-table restaurant — we just happen to grow food, and we like sharing it.
The pool, rain or shine
A common question: does the pool still work in monsoon? Yes — most days see a few hours of sun even during the season, and there's something quite nice about a swim right after a shower has passed and the air's gone cool.
Booking around the rains
Weekday monsoon stays tend to be the quietest time at the farm — fewer guests, greener views, and the garden at its best. If that sounds like your kind of trip, check dates on Airbnb.
