Cradled between the foothills of the Neora Forest and emerald tea gardens, Petrichor is a cozy and intimate farm retreat where conscious living and spiritual self-discovery intertwine - an invitation to rediscover the simple joys of being here and now. We are also a permaculture farm and eco-residence, offering courses on herbalism, plant-based cooking, yoga, permaculture design, natural farming, and other sustainable living practices. The dwelling is large, airy yet intimately crafted from bamboo, earth, and recycled materials overlooking the lush tropical oasis around us. Our spaces blend comfort with bohemian charm, adorned with hand-made, vintage, and recycled treasures collected over the years from family, friends, and community - reflecting our commitment to sustainability and repurposing.

Sweta and her family reside on the property, except when they're away traveling. As dedicated seekers of peace and conscious living, they seek and prioritize harmony with self, with nature and their community.

For the curious and the adventurous Gorubathan is full of surprises and we love to show them to you. We can help you organise guided hikes and rides through the rice paddies, along the River Chel, amidst the tea gardens, into the forests, the verdant wildlife sanctuaries of Gorumara, or right up into the mountains of Lava. Don’t forget downtown Sombarey Bazaar has its authentic charm - especially on Haat Day (Mondays, where it gets its moniker from) when it's heaving and bustling with small farmers selling local produce and traditional wild foods, foraged and brought to our proximity.
