The Story of a Dream

Every place begins with a dream.

A few decades ago, Hemant and Sangeeta Chhabra dreamed of a life in the countryside, closer to the earth and away from the noise and pace of the city. What began as a personal choice slowly became Hideout, a home, a farm and a way of life.
nbsp
Perhaps that is the real story of Hideout.
It was never about creating a retreat with a set formula. It grew organically from a family choosing to live differently, and their children growing up with the freedom to find their own interests and voices.
Today, when you arrive at Hideout, you enter more than a homestay. You enter a family home, where the cat may wander through your day, something from the forest may appear on your plate, and conversations often continue long after the meal is over.
A family dream that grew into a place others could come and experience for themselves.
