About Beforest Experiences
Journeys into landscapes that are being restored, remembered, and lived with.
Beforest Experiences are invitations to spend time inside living food forests, collectives, and seasonal landscapes shaped by regeneration. Some are slow weekends with families, some follow rare natural phenomena, and some are led by people who help us see soil, water, food, and community differently.
Each experience is designed to be intimate, grounded, and useful: a way to understand the land through walks, meals, conversations, hands-on work, and quiet observation. You leave with more than an itinerary. You leave with a relationship to a place.

Wild School: Hyderabad
What if the most important classroom was outside all along?Wild School is a 3-day immersive wilderness experience for children aged 9–12, hosted within the regenerated 132-acre Beforest Hyderabad Collective.Over three days, children cook with rocks, care for cows and farm, hike rocky hills, swim in lakes, create nature art, explore after dark, and learn to navigate the outdoors with confidence and curiosity.Guided by Certified Wilderness facilitators, every activity is thoughtfully designed to encourage independence, resilience, curiosity and a deeper connection with nature!Before there were classrooms, there were rivers to follow, stars to question, and stories carried by the wind. For most of human history, the world itself was our teacher.Wild School is an invitation to return to that way of learning.With no screens, they rediscover the simple joy of making real connections with each other, and with the quiet rhythm of the land.With only 6 participants, the experience ensures every child is seen, supported, and encouraged to participate at their own pace.A few days in the wild can change how children see nature. Sometimes, it changes how they see themselves too!
A Monsoon Welcome
What do you want your family to experience this monsoon - traffic jams or waterfalls?A Monsoon Welcome is a 3-day, 2-night immersive family experience hosted from 26–28 June 2026 within the 300+ acre Beforest Poomaale Collective in Coorg.Designed around the arrival of monsoon in the rainforest, the experience brings together guided nature walks, waterfall hikes, stream explorations, biodiversity discovery, nature-inspired activities, and unhurried family time in one of the most biodiverse landscapes in the world.Only 6 families will be part of this edition.This is the time when the forest comes fully alive. Streams turn wild, mist drifts through the rainforest, frogs begin calling through the night, and every trail bursts with life and every possible shade of green.Families spend their days walking through forests, crossing flowing streams, discovering the biodiversity that thrives during this season, and sometimes, simply getting drenched in the rain together.But beyond the exploration, there is something deeply nostalgic about experiencing monsoon this way — slowing down with warm meals, watching the rain from the bungalow, drying off after a long walk, and sharing the kind of moments that quietly stay with you long after the season has passed.Every walk, activity, and pause is thoughtfully designed and gently guided by expert facilitators and naturalists to help families experience the forest, and each other more deeply.Far away from crowded tourist destinations, this is an invitation to experience monsoon not through a window, but from within the rainforest itself.Because some monsoons are meant to be lived, not waited out.
The Glowing Forest
For a few nights each year, the forest learns to glow!Fireflies. Conserved Landscape. One unforgettable spectacle.For a few nights each year, the forests of Coorg begin to glow. As dusk deepens, thousands of fireflies rise from the forest floor, their quiet pulses of light flickering through the trees - turning the landscape into a living constellation.Soon it becomes impossible to tell where the forest ends and the stars begin.The Glowing Forest is our invitation to witness this rare phenomenon from Beforest landscapes - where nature still thrives, undisturbed.Over 3 days and 2 nights, you slow down to the rhythm of the forest. Walk quiet trails. Listen to the wild. Watch the night come alive with light.But this is more than just witnessing a spectacle.Joining us is Dr. Mathi Thumilan - conservationist, firefly expert, and co-founder of Wild & Dark Earth (WiDE), contributor to the IUCN Firefly Specialist Group and National Geographic Explorer initiative. With him, the glowing forest becomes a story of ecology, understanding the forest rhythm, and why spaces like these must be protected.To experience this phenomenon in two distinct landscapes, we’re hosting two intimate groups.Hammiyala CollectiveCamping under the starsSet within a 108-acre hilltop forest, Hammiyala offers the rawest way to experience the glowing forest. Here you’ll camp beneath ancient trees, where fireflies flicker through the canopy and the mist drapes the whole landscape.Poomaale CollectivesBlyton bungalow stayWithin the 304-acre Poomaale rainforest collectives, you’ll stay at the Blyton Bungalow, overlooking the dense rainforest. Nominated among ArchDaily’s Best Buildings of 2025, this architectural gem offers a comfortable stay deep within one of the richest biodiversity landscapes on the planet.Some experiences are beautiful. Some are rare. This one is both!A forest glowing with fireflies beneath a sky full of stars is something you never quite forget.
