About Us

Hingaara - A home stay with a difference (we offer experience)

Who we are

Hi! I am Hingaara, a 350 year old heritage home. I am old and rocking! I have seen 5-6 generations in this house. The secret to my youth lies with the people who visit me. They come from all over the world and exchange travel stories, warmth and experiences. You are most welcome to stay in our cozy Malnad heritage house and experience the nature & rural life as it should be.

We are a unique home stay; we focus and put sincere effort to give our guests the experience to remember for lifetime.

 

To make your stay even more memorable, we organise:

Farm tours – we also make you work in the farms

Trekking in the nature with our naturalist

Village exploration

Rural school & house visits

Antiques brief – collected by ancestors

Guided tours in & around Agumbe

Wildlife sessions

Unique & one of its kind camps for children

Cycling tours

Hiking Yoga

Kesaru gadhe games (muddy paddy field)

The Malgudi town, Agumbe is a paradise for nature lovers. Catching mesmerising sunrise, trekking along roaring waterfalls, off roading to reach unexplored backwaters, enjoying wildlife photography in the dense forests, or a quiet walk in our plantations, all this in the backdrop of heart melting hospitality of the real India.

Our Focus – “ Change a Tourist to a Traveller”
