Bagayatdar Farmstay

Bagayatdar Farmstay sits deep in the forested hills of Zolambe, in Dodamarg, Sindhudurg’s smallest and wildest taluka. You reach it on foot, along a hilly forest path that is part of the experience. Once you arrive, the forest takes over: birdsong, rain-heavy trees and long, quiet hours.

This is not a hotel. There is no room service, no television and little or no mobile network, and the power can go out. What you get instead is home-made food, walks through plantation, farm and forest with your hosts, and a kind of solitude that is hard to find anywhere else in Konkan.

In 2026 the farmstay was named a One to Watch winner for Sustainable Leadership (Farmstay) at the Indian Responsible Tourism State Awards, Maharashtra chapter.

Guest Reviews

Bagayatdar Farmstay is a truly beautiful escape into authentic Konkan life. Run by Omkar Gawade and his brother Suraj Gawade, the place offers a rare blend of warm hospitality, heritage, nature, and local culture. The 120-year-old mud house is the heart of the experience. Its rustic charm, peaceful surroundings, and traditional character make you feel as though you have stepped into another era. The authentic vegetarian Konkan cuisine served here is absolutely delicious and adds another layer to the experience. …
