How to reach the property

Written by the host, walked and confirmed by our verifier.

From the Bus Stand, head to Aldur on the Balehonnur road. About 500 m before Aldur town, turn right at the Silver Oak nursery signboard; the farm is the first gate, with pepper vines along the fence.

Know before you go

The practical truths booking sites rarely tell you.

  • Roosters at 5:30 AM are non-negotiable.
  • Pepper harvest Dec–Feb: you can join for a morning.
  • Rooms are simple and spotless — this is a farm, not a resort.
  • UPI works for everything including the honey they sell.
