The farm is situated in the foothills of Devarayanadurga, a living fort town from the Vijayanagara Empire period and is picturesque where these hills become a part of the 360 degree hills range, the valley now has 4 villages and lots of forest and trekking areas with majestic rocks.

Pic of Anteras There is a Yatri Nivas - a travellers lodge and other smaller “guest houses” built by the devotees of the temple on the hill. Anterras is agricultural stepped terraces that was owned and used by a buffalo herder for grazing, where we pitch our tents. We will set up a kitchen in this area too. Some of the Anthillhacks sessions and activities will be at the iruWay farm at the west side foothills of Devarayanadurga. This is reachable by a 30 min trek from the hill or a 4 km ride by road.
