Motivational. Transformational Experiences
At Shreyas, we believe experience is the best teacher. Our experiences are consciously structured to enrich your stay and your life. From mindful cooking to community giving, a sensory nature walk, or a spiritually uplifting prayer session, each experience has been thoughtfully curated to give you a heightened sense of well-being.
Pick. Prepare. Nourish.
We grow our own ingredients and then prepare a wholesome meal to serve to children at one of the orphanages or schools in our neighbourhood. Join our chefs for a fulfilling day as you pick the choicest herbs and vegetables, and then help to prepare the meal, before joining our staff to serve it to the children.
Create. Savour.
Cooking can be an elevating experience. It is a creative process that expands your mind and your soul. Our chefs will take you under their wing as they teach you the art of creating healthy, nourishing, gourmet vegetarian cuisine, drawing on culinary influences from around the world!
A Blend of Tradition & Sophistication.
Tucked away amid our sylvan environs, it’s hard to imagine that we are so close to a massive, pulsing global capital! From technology to history, cuisine to culture, Bangalore is a city worth exploring. Stroll through magnificent flower gardens, marvel at intricate and ancient architecture, or stop in at a local cafe or bookshop to get a feel for Bangalore’s buzz!
Rustic. Rural.
Explore the charms of authentic village life in our part of India. Take a guided tour into local hamlets that dot our backyard. Visit a local temple and offer a small prayerful worship. Stroll through the local market and discover an array of fruit, flowers, and vegetables, along with an assortment of other wares. Engage with the local folk and discover the small facets of everyday life that make India so vibrant.
Lush. Undulating.
Shreyas is surrounded by a rustic, hilly landscape. Take a guided trek along one of the rugged slopes. Navigate nature trails and marvel at the flora and fauna that you encounter en route. A cool breeze, birdsong, the scent of the earth, and a tapestry of colour lift your spirits immediately.
Mysore–The Royal City
For centuries, Mysore has been a stronghold of an ancient royal tradition. It’s also an important centre of yoga, spices, and silk. Explore colourful local markets, visit the palace, and pause for a prayer at one of its temples. Best discovered on foot, a morning at the flower market is a treat!
Belur & Halebeedu
Just a few kilometres apart, Belur and Halebeedu are famous for their vast temple complexes that date back to the Hoysala Empire. Intricately carved out of granite, the walls have incredible stories to tell. The temple complexes in Belur and Halebeedu have recently been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Shravanabelagola
Just a short distance away from Belur and Halebeedu, Shravanabelagola is famous for its enormous, monolithic statue of Lord Gomateshwara, a Jain saint. The statue is 18 metres high and hand-carved out of a single block of granite! The Gomateshwara Bahubali statue is a revered Jain pilgrimage site, holding immense spiritual significance. Its sanctity is further heightened by its proximity to Chandragiri Hill, where the great emperor Chandragupta Maurya renounced his throne, embraced Jainism, and spent his days as a monk.
Colourful. Vibrant. Culture.
Indian culture is a rainbow of traditions and customs. Discover some of the most enjoyable pursuits, which include mehndi (applying designs of henna on your palms), how to make a traditional garland of flowers, the art of rangoli (using coloured rice powder to make intricate designs at the threshold of a home), and how to wear a sari! For a moment of quiet reflection, you can visit our serene temple setting, offering a peaceful space to connect with the divine.
Organic. Origins.
We plant our seeds with love and tend to them with gratitude on our very own organic farms that surround Shreyas. Join us as we plant and pick seasonal herbs, fruit, and vegetables to create an unparalleled farm-to-fork experience for each guest. Next, wander to our cattle shed, where the day’s milk is gathered with care—try your hand at milking, a simple yet joyful tradition. Nurtured with care and nourished by the purity of our environment, spend a day with us working on the farm and feel refreshed and free from stress!
