WILD VALLEY FARM is a unique place and a concept that blends active farming, with eco- holidaying. Situated in Southern India, outside the reserve forests of Sathyamangalam the farm is spread over 100 acres of picturesque landscape. This Farm will de stress and guarantee you a perfect holiday in the rejuvenating glory of mother nature at its best. The Farm itself is surrounded on three sides by the reserve tropical forests of the enchanting Western Ghats and bordered by a jungle stream with a small waterfall as well (seasonal). Visitors have seen and heard wildlife (tigers and elephants to wild boar and deer) – a truly exhilarating experience!
The farm is owned by Mr. S.R. Daniel. Now, he is one interesting guy. Mr. Daniel is BSc. (Ag.) & M Sc. (Genetics). from Allahabad Agricultural Institute, This was 20 years back. After his studies, he bought 100 acres of land, which was almost unapproachable and totally wild back then. He has developed this farm on his own in the last twenty years.
He is a very interesting person to talk to. One wouldn't expect a well educated fellow walking around in the wild forest, speaking Queen's English as well the local Tamil dialect with equal ease. Daniel and his wife Jasmine live on and run the Farm and also do Eco Tourism.
Since starting Eco Holidays, WILD VALLEY FARM has played host to various companies like, Wipro, Intel, Ashok Leyland, Honeywell, Hindustan Lever, SPICE Telecom, ICICI telecom, Dalmia Cement, Hexaware, HP, Microsoft, Infosys, TYCO, Manhattan Associates, etc., for conducting outbound training programs.
