The Beginnings

Kabir Kunj was built by Shabbir and Rashida Diler, a couple from Pune who had a dream to live in nature's calm and serenity after their retirement. Their aim was to create a self sufficient dwelling, with a sustainable farm, a vegetable garden, a cow shed , a biogas plant, vermicomposting and rainwater harvesting. After having spent eight years at the farmhouse, Shabbir and Rashida want to share their experience with fellow nature lovers in this pristine getaway.
