A nature club at the foot of Tamhini Ghat.
We built this for the kind of weekend we’d stopped having.
Many of us keep coming back to the same question, usually in a cab to the airport. Why do weekends now exhaust us more than weekdays?
The places we escape to are built around the same pace we are trying to escape. Brunches. Bars. Loud rooftops. More people. More decisions. More phone. Club Parijat is our answer — a working fruit grove run as a small, deliberately-restricted nature club, designed not as a resort.
Slow time, in season.
Members come for what they come for. Sometimes that is the kids. Sometimes that is a book. Sometimes that is sleep. We don’t programme around you. We do programme around the seasons.
- Monsoon — self-guided trails, rain and waterfall walks, paddy and millet transplanting, forest bathing.
- Winter — plant-your-own vegetable patches, herb gardens, millet harvest, star-gazing, bird watching.
- Summer — mango plucking, kokum collection, cashew-apple, wild berry-picking.
The kitchen is lacto-vegetarian. No alcohol. Farm-to-fork. These are features, not restrictions.
One hundred. Year one. By application.
We are accepting the first hundred founding members this quarter. The membership runs ten years on purpose. Anything shorter lets people treat this as a weekend gym membership, and it isn’t. The grove will take ten years to mature into what we think it will become. We want members and the place to grow into each other.
Each application begins with a short note from you, a twenty-minute conversation with us, and an invitation to a preview weekend on the grove. We don’t take everyone on — the first hundred set the tone of the club for ten years, and we make those decisions carefully.
Founding fee: ₹3,00,000 — a special price for the first hundred members. One-time, covers ten years of access. Year 1 annual fee waived. First preview weekend: Friday 19 – Sunday 21 June 2026.
