Wild School

Not all learning happens in classrooms. Some of it begins in the wild! Set within the 300+ acre Poomaale Collective in Coorg , Wild School is a curated, nature-based experience designed for (10-16 year old) children to step out of overstimulated urban environments into a living, breathing conserved landscape. This is not a camp of activities, but a hands-on journey through forests, grasslands, streams and hidden trails - where children explore, observe and learn directly from the nature around them. From hikes to time spent by waterfalls and streams, every part of the experience unfolds within the safety of our private land, allowing for both freedom and care. Through hands-on experiences like foraging, cooking, learning outdoor skills, and observing alongside naturalists, children don’t just stay engaged - they grow more confident, empathetic, and grounded. With no screens , they rediscover the simple joy of making real connections with each other, and with the quiet rhythm of the land. The program is consciously curated by trained and experienced facilitators who take great joy in introducing outdoors to children. We have both male and female facilitators, certified in Wilderness First Aid ensuring to balance exploration with safety. The landscape itself becomes the teacher - located in one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, being home to endemic and rare species, with fireflies and stars lighting up the forest. Limited batch size of 15 participants, intentional design, and a deeply immersive setting ensure that every child is seen, supported, and gently encouraged to slow down, notice more, and engage with nature in a meaningful way. A few days here don’t just fill time - they change how children see the world.

SloMo

In a world that won’t slow down, this land sets a different pace! 3 days. Camping under the stars. 12 people. Countless slow moments. In the world outside, everything moves fast - notifications, deadlines, traffic, noise. At Hammiyala , time moves differently. Tucked within a 108-acre collective between the Kottebetta and Mandalpatti ranges , in the lush Pushpagiri forest landscape of Coorg , Hammiyala is a place where mist rolls slowly across hills, forests breathe quietly around you, and the sky feels impossibly wide. SloMo is our invitation to experience this landscape the way nature intended - slowly. Over three days and two nights , you’ll camp under the misty skies and settle into the rhythm of the land. Mornings begin with misty horizons, afternoons stretch into long forest walks, and evenings gather around a warm fire as the hills fade into night. One of the highlights of the experience is a 4 km guided hike along an unexplored trail in the Kottebetta range . The trail winds through quiet forests before opening out to breathtaking ridge walks and sweeping views of the surrounding hills - the kind that make you pause, breathe, and simply take it all in. But the real magic isn’t just where you are - it’s how you experience it. When you slow down, the forest begins to reveal itself: the texture of moss under your fingers, the distant calls of birds across valleys, the quiet movement of clouds drifting over the Western Ghats. To keep the experience intimate and immersive, the experience is limited to just 12 participants - small enough for meaningful conversations, and quiet enough for the land to be heard. For three days, the forest sets the pace. And somewhere between a misty sunrise, a ridge-top view, and a quiet night under the stars, something shifts. You stop chasing moments. You start noticing them.

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 Collective 17-19 April | Camping under the stars Set 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 Collectives 24-26 April | Blyton bungalow stay Within 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.

Starry Nights: Mumbai

Six planets will line the sky and you’re invited to witness it! On the night of February 28 , the sky over the Mumbai Beforest Collective opens into something extraordinary - a six-planet parade . After sunset, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will appear across the sky in a sweeping arc. With experienced sky facilitators and telescopes , you’ll see these planets closer than ever before. We will also observe the moon - its craters and shadows in striking detail thanks to its waxing phase lighting up the night. But this experience is way deeper than spotting things in the sky. It’s a guided encounter with our solar neighbourhood - understanding how these worlds move, why they appear where they do and all the secrets they hide! Through expert storytellers both kids and adults (beginners and enthusiasts alike) understand and connect with the cosmos. The experience unfolds at the 100+ acre Beforest Collective near Mumbai, surrounded by wild hills and open horizons. Away from light pollution, with limited batch size this rare celestial spectacle becomes accessible, immersive and deeply memorable. Conversations by the bonfire and camping under a moon-lit sky carry the night forward. At dawn, a magical sunrise and birdsong welcome you back to earth. This isn’t just a stargazing night - it’s a pause. A chance to look up, breathe deep, and remember how infinite wonder can feel. A night that makes the universe feel close enough to touch.

Hands & Soil

A Saturday that helps you connect with land. Hands & Soil is a farm-volunteering experience at the Beforest Hyderabad Collective , created for those who want to step away from screens and spend a day doing something real, grounding, and deeply satisfying. This is not a commercial farm or a productivity-driven setup. The Beforest Collective is a fully organic, living landscape , guided by permaculture principles - where soil health, biodiversity, and long-term balance matter more than yield. What you step into is not just a farm, but an ecosystem being carefully nurtured. There’s no fixed agenda here. Each session responds to what the land needs that day. You may be harvesting, planting, mulching, composting, watering, or helping with everyday upkeep. Some days offer harvests; others offer care. Both are equally essential. What you gain isn’t instant output, but perspective . Time working with your hands, understanding how food grows in a regenerative system, and experiencing the quiet satisfaction that comes from patience, effort, and showing up - even when the reward isn’t immediate. The day includes a simple farm-to-table meal , prepared using what’s grown on the land - honest food that tastes better because you’ve been part of the process. Timing: 10 am – 4 pm Group size: Limited to 10 participants Children who are comfortable with physical farm work and can engage independently are welcome. Hands & Soil is for anyone craving a slower Saturday , a deeper relationship with food , and the quiet fulfilment of contributing to something real. Get your hands dirty. Connect with the land.

Forest Ranger Experience

Not visitors. Not tourists. For a day, your family becomes forest rangers. Set within the 122-acre Beforest Bhopal Collective - a landscape under ecological restoration. This experience unfolds on land once impacted by quarrying and over-extraction, now being carefully regenerated - with rebuilding soil, restoring natural water systems, and bringing back native biodiversity. Bordering the forests of Ratapani Tiger Reserve , people step beyond sightseeing and into participation. Guided by naturalists Dr. Sameer and DP Shrivastava , you move through the landscape with awareness — noticing pugmarks, bird calls, textures, and the lesser known residents of the forest. This is not about chasing wildlife or ticking sightings. It’s about curiosity, shared discovery and relaxed time in the forest! All meals are thoughtfully served outdoors beneath the forest canopy, prepared with fresh, organic ingredients. This is an experience in itself! Breakfast unfolds under open skies, lunch is laid out deep within the woods, and evening snacks arrive at sunset - timed with the landscape turning gold. You dine immersed in the wild, accompanied only by birdsong and shifting light. While the collective lies close to protected forests, every exploration is guided and designed with safety in mind. The day unfolds gently, with time to pause and enjoy the rare luxury of an afternoon nap under the trees. Participants leave feeling enriched, restored, and deeply connected. Limited to just 12 participants, this experience ensures personal attention, unrushed exploration, and meaningful connection - both with nature and with each other. A day that changes how you see forests!
