EXPERIENCES
Spend your days exploring the orchards, befriending the cows, lazing by the river, going on hikes, or simply engaging in games, both indoor and outdoors…
MARKANDA RIVERSIDE PICNIC
Listen to the soothing sounds of the river, observe an array of birdlife. Our chefs prepare a basket of goodies for you to savour riverside.
Take a trek through orchards and fields to the peaks of the surrounding mountains. The routes vary in difficulty for everyone, from those looking for a leisurely stroll to seasoned climbers.
FOOTHILL HIKES
Our gardens are blessed with butterflies and birds. You can witness the magnificent wingspan of the Himalayan Magpie, listen to the song of the Hornbill or watch the Woodpeckers labour away…chipping their nests into the mango trees.

BIRD WATCHING
Enjoy your happy hormones with our bovine friends.We believe in Koe Knuffelen (Dutch for cow hugging), a wellness trend that started a decade ago aimed at soothing frayed nerves and calming the body.
CATTLE FEEDING
We are happy to host a leisurely walk through the orchard sharing the history of the plantation and behind the scenes peek into a farmers life.
TOUR THE ORCHARD
Interact with the farmers, reap or sow as per season. Then attend a jam or pickle making session with your fresh produce!
VEGETABLE OR FRUIT PICKING
If you’re old enough, learn to drive a tractor through the estate, or simply go on a tractor ride with the kids.
TRACTOR TOUR
One of the greatest joys of the outdoors is games with your nearest and dearest. We’ve set the field for badminton, cricket, and turnball. You can also go cycling, play foosball and darts.
SPORTING ACTIVITIES
On chilly winter nights keep the cold at bay and share stories around a bonfire.
BONFIRE EVENINGS
For when you wish to spend your time indoors, or keep the kids occupied - we have a collection of board games to keep you enthralled.
