Welcome to Dunagiri, a Nature Retreat in a lush hill forest setting overlooking a dramatic rural landscape. At Dunagiri, you are completely in harmony with nature - distances seem infinite and heaven close. Very few places are left on our planet where we can enjoy tourism experiences in such pristine, tranquil and calm environment amidst ancient forests. A spot of stunning natural splendor, being one with nature is easy to do at Dunagiri Nature Retreat. Its greatness lies not merely in its fascinating history and captivating beauty, it is rather the serene and spiritual atmosphere of this place that strikes the mind and brings peace to the soul. Known by various names such as Drongiri, Dronagiri and Doonagiri - a visit to Dunagiri is a holiday like no other; it is a journey into the innermost recesses of the soul, a re-discovery of the essence of being.

Our vision is to offer a space where reflection and refreshment of the soul take place as people leave their busy routines behind. It is intended for nature lovers who value peace, calmness and appreciate the natural grandeur of their surroundings. Dunagiri however is not meant for the insensitive tourist - for those looking to party with blaring music and loud, synthetic lifestyles, we would be happy to suggest alternate destinations which are more suited to such pursuits.

The residential facilities, private and serene, are situated amidst a stunningly beautiful estate bordered by peaceful, dense Oak forests. Surrounding the house are our very charming organic herb and vegetable gardens where everyone is welcome to come and help out. Quiet sitting areas are scattered around the farm amidst fruit trees to encourage a little peaceful meditation.

Through tourism, education, advocacy, and stewardship Dunagiri Nature Retreat’s goal is to preserve, promote and support preservation of the culture, history and natural resources that contribute to the community identity, depth and character of the Dunagiri region.

In an area of such natural beauty and rich heritage, we at Dunagiri feel it is our responsibility to offer a unique and fulfilling visitor experience, and to do so in an environmentally and culturally respectful and aware manner.  Our guests experience beauty of nature, the places, the history and the culture of India and of the Dunagiri area…all while working together to protect the environment and benefit local cultures and communities. 

In the words of Marcel Proust, The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
