Christmas Cheer at Geeli Mitti
4 days of immersion into life at Geeli Mitti Farms… join us deep within the hilly villages of Nainital with forests, gurgling streams and chirping birds all around. After all, we are located inside the Naina Devi Bird Sanctuary.
So if you’ve always wanted to visit Geeli Mitti and experience living a natural life in our sustainable mud structures, come on over.
Or perhaps you need something that you can’t describe yet. Then just take a break for these four days (24th – 27th Dec.’21) and come meet beautiful like-minded souls, sit against the fire every evening together as we listen to music, chat, read, sing karaoke, cook momos, dance, bake bread, watch a movie — who knows how the evenings will unfold… but the magic is guaranteed.
Chilly winters against a warm fire with warm soups, comforting food and engrossing stories is what life is meant to be about.
Meanwhile the days are for soaking in the sun while we learn about
– building with mud,
– about making our existing homes healthier and more energy efficient,
– guided tour of homes built using techniques like earthbag, cob, adobe, wattle and daub, stone, bamboo and more
– experience making gorgeous jewellery with seeds,
– explore beautiful hikes and trails, go bird-watching…
Comfortable large bamboo and mud loft aka Adda, with dorm style sleeping and super comfy cosy bedding. Everyone loves the Adda

This is important since shoes are left outside the living areas.
