My girlfriend and I stayed at Laiju’s place for our trip in wayanad and it was one of our best experiences together. The place is far from the busy streets... read more and is instead located in nature. This allows a lot of opportunity to disconnect and live much more simply. The hosts were super caring and helpful always responding to any questions or concerns that we had. The nature surrounding the airbnb is very lush providing many things to do and see. The airbnb also provided a food option of three meals a day and each of them were extremely fresh and delicious. I highly recommend Laiju’s place to someone looking for a raw and beautiful experience in some of the best nature India has to offer.

  Good place to visit, if you want to get away from the city environment and pollution.

  The Green Gardens farm is a quaint little place that's just ideal for a short break from the city. Its clean and organised and ideal for long walks along the... read more tea gardens in and around the farm. Biba, the caretaker is lovely and her food is simple, homely but wonderfully cooked.

I went there for a solo trip and I got exactly what I was looking for. I never felt unsafe there. Mr Laiju and his wife are extremely warm and welcoming people and they took care of every little detail.

  Very peaceful getaway, perfect for those who want to eat great homemade food and take time for themselves.

  Amazing place and platform to learn and experiment sustainability minimalism.
Slow mode, have 4G most of the time, live video call had issues sometimes.

  Perfect destination if you want a place away from any kind of civilization.

  Me and Frank had an amazing time at the unique Air BnB. At this Eco farm we were given delicious food 3 times a day and got the opportunity to... read more get involved with an ethical and sustainable way of living.

We loved our time here. If you’re somebody always desperate for activities then maybe this isn’t for you but if you love being in nature and eating incredible food then this one is definitely one to recommend.

Thanks Mr Laiju and Co 🙂

  Peaceful stay, worth your time and money. Shushma and Hari were helpful, cooked delicious food. Met Laiju in person for dinner at RHM centre and had a great time, will... read more definitely recommend it.

  Very good peaceful place. Vegetarian food three times given for rhm members. Location is good and is close to Edekkal caves. Host is friendly. Workers Sushma and Hari... read more are good. Room is big and bathroom is big. only vegetarian food was served plus eggs and omlette. nice place. you will be given non veg food if you ask. but vegetarian is good for health. Good tea was provided without milk but I didn't ask milk based chai. this is not a big deal for me. overall it was a nice experience. yoga class was offered.

  This place is not like any other homestay. As rightly mentioned in the description - this is a rustic farm-stay with immaculate cleanliness, nice basic infrastructure, heartwarming hospitality & loads... read more of peace and tranquility amidst a full fledged jungle. It's a unique concept targeted at people who want to just be there with nature and themselves - reading, meditating or doing nothing.
The home like vibes and ever smiling faces of Sushma ji & Hari ji who served delicious meals were at the core of my peaceful solitary retreat here. Will definitely be back. Keep up the good work Laiju sir!

  Wonderful stay at the Green Gardens farm. I stayed here solo and enjoyed the privacy and space to connect with nature. I felt safe.

Host Laiju and his wife... read more I cannot thank enough especially for helping me with transport and arranging some activities.

My advice would be to stay for at least 4 days ( more, weeks if you can) to connect with the place and relax. It is worth travelling to, but please ask Laiju on best way to get there as I took a awful sleeper bus that was quite traumatic! There are much better ways to get tho the farm.

Someone local cooked food for me three times a day which was wonderful and is also a great thing to do.

It is a place to relax and unwind and take walks. Highly recommended.

Bring books if you are in to them. And get up early 7 or even earlier, it’s a good time to sit outside.

  Mr. Laiju & team allowed for a concoction of nature and homeliness unforgettable for me in my time of inner discovery, which I am deeply grateful for… 🧘‍♂️

  Un séjour très agréable dans une nature luxuriante et paisible aux chants des oiseaux.
Très bonne nourriture pour chaque repas de la journée avec des produits directement du domaine ou... read more des environs.
Un endroit pour tout oublié et laisser la nature vous habiter.
Séance de yoga en option aux chants des oiseaux, magnifique.
Laiju très à l’écoute et zen attitude.
Une bonne leçon de vie no stress.
Nous recommandons vivement.

  The stay was everything all the other visitors had described it as. The room and bathroom was neat and clean. I travelled alone and Mr Laiju was there on call... read more and (Hidden by Airbnb) anytime I needed help. The food was absolutely delicious and Sushma and her husband were always on stand by to help and were more than happy to show me around. Keeping in mind they didn't speak Hindi or English they sure made efforts to communicate. It was an overall relaxing and enriching experience and a perfect getaway. Would highly recommend!

  This is a very special place indeed. I had a wonderful 5 days and nights in this beautiful part of the World. Sushma, Hari and Laiju deserve all the rave... read more reviews they get, 5 stars all over. The hospitality, the kindness, the attention, the facilities, the gorgeous homemade vegeterian food, the peace and quiet, the beautiful surroundings, the birds singing etc etc. It just felt very very good, and I was sad to leave, and hopefully I will be back sooner than later. Highly highly recommended for nature loving people who want to get a real feel of rural Kerala.

  I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. It is total magic. It will open your heart and mind. It’s totally safe, very tranquil and private, and an... read more all-around retreat-like environment. The flora and fauna are vast and interesting, there are fun critters running around the farm if you’re still enough to wait for them. The room was cools be quiet and spacious, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big! Laiju and his family were very helpful in setting up trips to town and helped me with everything I needed. I was traveling totally solo, and I couldn’t have felt safer honestly. And of course, my two sweet loves, Hari and Sushma, worked on the farm everyday and we became fast friends. They are both such gems, and were extremely accommodating. They showed me so much love and kindness, the language barrier really stopped mattering after a while. Oh and The food was absolutely delicious and fresh—like super fresh.

There are trails to walk throughout the farm, not to mention some lovely little village roads to run around. You will get lost in the vast array of fruit trees and crops. And if you’re lucky, Laiju will sell you some fresh coffee and black pepper to take home. Don’t miss your chance to do the pepper dance, either—it’s legendary.

Please do yourself a favor and stay here. Check out the organization, give it a go, and let your soul decide. It knows the way!

  wonderful place right in middle of a calm forest and lush greenery till where your eyes can see. Hari and sushma are such gems. helped us with everything around the... read more farm.

it was wonderful meeting Mr. Laiju and his learning about his vision for a better world. would highly recommend a visit to get some nature flowing within you.

  I had a great time in the Tgg farm.

Sushma and Hari are the sweethearts of the farm.
Its extremely rare to meet such pure souls and I feel... read more blessed to have met them in my life.
This surely feels like home the moment you enter and you are greeted by Sushma and Hari.

The food was so yum and feels homely at the same time.
We made bamboo straws,fresh juices from the fruits grown in the farm, cooking and a lot more.

I got to have,fresh coconut, mulberries, avacado, banana and rose apples.
I tasted white tea for the first time and now I am shifting to white from Green!
Hari helped me learn tree climbing.
I planted a clove tree 🙂
Had tea leaves plucking experience with some cute women.

Laiju Sir was available for me, encouraged me with everything I did and provided me with so many opportunities to explore in the farm.

Also, I love how the money you pay is utilized for the growth of the rural community.

I am a solo traveller. Auto driver Murli was there to pick me up and drop me to the bus stop late in the night waiting with me till I got into the bus.
I got to meet very warm and kind people in village.

There is so much to write about it, I would suggest you to just go and experience it yourself! It's a must have experience.

A big thanks to Laiju Sir, Hari, Sushma, Murli and all the lovely people who I interacted during my stay made me feel the world is so kind, warm and beautiful ❤

  We really loved staying at Laiju's farm and by the hospitality he and his wife has offered. This place is must to stay place for someone who wants to hide... read more from crowd and get a piece.

  A great stay with plantation all around.. It was comfortable for me. Totally recommended!

  So, this is a place where you can actually connect to nature, meditate and rejuvenate. The location of the farm is awesome, the stay is inside a 5 acre tea... read more and coffee plantation, that too raw means unlike resorts it’s not crafted by humans. Even outside the farm at less than 100 meters, there’s a tea plantation, coffee plantation, very beautiful roads to take a walk around. We stayed there for 4N/5D and it was a complete bliss.
I will list down what we really liked about our stay
1. The host Mr. Laiju is a very informative and helpful person, it makes the stay very smooth and likeable. He is one go-to person for everything you need in executing your trip like info related to places to visit, nearby eateries etc. Also, we were humbled when he hosted us to his place for lunch and prepared North Indian cuisine the way we like
2. The staffs inside the farm are very polite and sweet, though I could barely understand their language still, we communicated haha!
3. Waking up in the morning with birds chirping, fresh wind blowing and a hearty south Indian breakfast is something I am going to miss dearly.
4. Farm has fresh coconut water, fresh milk from the dairy inside the farm
Now, few things I would like to mention for guests who might not like it
1. This is a very normal homestay kinda thing so don’t expect much, like it has got bare minimum amenities inside the room. There will be one room and a bathroom for the guests
2. Food menu would be simple Kerala style cuisine
3. Sometimes, inside the room internet might not work but generally in the farm it works properly
So, basically this is a place for people who simply want to relax, eat simple desi food, connect with nature, admire cows, birds, trees, every creation of god and enjoy walking around lush greenery. Also, regarding sightseeing in Wayanad, we didn’t have any problem. Every place is accessible even if you don’t have your own vehicle, autos are there till Sulthan bathery (nearest market) and from there public transport/private cab options would be available.

  We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the Farm. Laiju was very friendly and the communication was always helpful.
You have to be an RHM-member to stay at the... read more farm but getting the membership is an easy task. To realize the sustainability-goals you have to fulfill requirements which are flexible and easily done.
All in all we enjoyed the green remote farm and the few days we spend there!

  One of the best decision of 2021 was to visit Wayanad. We planned this trip to take a break from hustle bustle of city life and nothing could have been... read more better than THE GREEN GARDEN farm stay. We loved this place soo much that we decided to spend more time in the Lap of Mother Nature rather than visiting too many touristy places.

To talk about the hospitality that was shown by Mr Laiju including their staff, is way more than what we expected. Despite of Mr. Laiju's absence, his continuous effort of communicating and coordinating with staff made our stay and trip seamless and comfortable. We enjoyed farm grown fresh produce & delicious Kerala cuisine food cooked by Sushma. We got to know a lot about sustainable living practices and experiences with our interaction with Sushma and Hari.

A special thanks to Mr Laiju for an amazing birthday surprise arrangement for my spouse on her special day.

We are gonna cherish the memories of Wayanad journey with TGG Foundation for long time and looking forward to our next visit very soon.

In short, our 5 day stay at farm was full of new experiences, learning and moments which cant be described in words!

  As described by several others the place is unreal ,raw,natural and piece of heaven. If you really want to restore faith in goodness and want to know how the axis... read more of world is in balance then do experience this surreal place.
