Our Approach to Nourishment
Food with an origin. Meals are communal and connected to farms, kitchen gardens, cooking with hosts and, in Sribadam, the trout-farming tradition. Phones are gently discouraged at communal meals so the table can be a place for conversation. The program is not built around calories or restrictive diets.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this program, participation and what to expect.
A village immersion is different from simply visiting a rural destination. Instead of moving from attraction to attraction, this program places participants inside the ordinary rhythm of village life for five days.
In Chakung and Sribadam, that means walking through village lanes and farms, cooking with local hosts, sharing meals, listening to residents, spending time outdoors and leaving part of each day deliberately unscheduled. The purpose is not to suggest that village life is better or healthier. It is to use a different everyday setting to notice your own relationship with movement, food, connection, rest and belonging.

The program is designed to help participants notice their own relationship with five ordinary parts of wellbeing: movement, food, connection, rest and belonging. Village life is used as a setting for reflection, not presented as a lifestyle that participants are expected to copy.
It is designed for individuals and small private groups interested in nature, cultural immersion, slower routines and greater awareness of how they move, eat, connect and rest. The listed maximum capacity is 12 participants.
The program takes place across Chakung and Sribadam in West Sikkim. Participants spend the first three days in Chakung and the final two days in Sribadam.
The program lasts 5 days and 4 nights. Participants stay for the complete experience once their selected start date begins.
A typical day may begin with morning tea followed by a village walk. Participants may then visit a farm or kitchen garden, cook with local hosts, share lunch, have two hours of unstructured time and later meet village residents or elders. Dinner and quiet evenings bring the day to a close.
The program uses village accommodation in Chakung and Sribadam, with local hosting and connection to place taking priority over resort-style luxury. The submitted listing currently describes a single hut stay option.
Yes. All meals are included as part of the five-day program. Food is connected to local farms, kitchen gardens and cooking experiences, and meals are generally shared communally.
The listing currently includes pescatarian and mixed/non-vegetarian options. Food is approached as part of the cultural experience rather than through restrictive dieting or calorie-focused menus.
