About This Experience
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 7 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.
