An ACT OF preservation BALANCE

 

Located in the picturesque Chandra-Drona (Baba Budangiri) hills of Chikmagalur district, Gungegiri Estate is blessed with ample rainfall and named after the streams originating from these hills. The estate specializes in Arabica coffee, cultivated under the nurturing shade of native trees such as Ficus altissima and Terminalia Bellerica.

The estate's dedication to coexistence and protection of wildlife underscores its ethos of sustainability. By maintaining a harmonious balance between agriculture and nature, Gungegiri Estate not only produces high-quality coffee but also preserves the natural habitat of species like deer, wild boar, various bird species, and more.
