"Every agro-tourism resort in India serves its guests.
Astral Hills serves its landowners."

Astral Hills Agro Resort is a registered agro-tourism estate in Velhe, Western Ghats, Pune — 60 acres of working agricultural land surrounding a luxury resort built for the people who own it.

A 5-acre resort at the centre. 110 individually owned agricultural parcels surrounding it. One founding community of estate members who hold freehold title to their land, have their parcels farmed on their behalf, and belong to a place deliberately built to last generations.

"There are hundreds of agro-tourism resorts across Maharashtra. None of them are built around the people who own the surrounding land. None of them have estate members. This one does."

The resort operates the farming programme, the farm-to-table restaurant, the wellness centre, the heritage and fort trek calendar, and the full estate services — not for visitors who check in and check out, but for 110 founding estate members who own the surrounding land and return to this valley as their own.

The Velhe valley sits at 850 metres in the Western Ghats, with three Maratha forts visible on the horizon and near-zero light pollution. The local families who have farmed this soil for generations are permanently employed by the resort.

Freehold Land Ownership

Your parcel. Your survey sub-number. Your name in the 7/12 revenue record. Title registered at the Sub-Registrar, Velhe. Real land ownership — not a share, not a timeshare, not a lease.

02

Managed Farm Services

You do not need to farm. The resort's Velhe Taluka team manages every parcel through the full seasonal cycle. A monthly harvest box — labelled from your survey number — delivered to your city address.

03

Estate Membership

As a founding member you belong to the resort, not just the land. Five premium cottages, the Rajdhani Table, wellness centre, cricket league, fort treks — built for 110 members, not passing guests.

The resort at the
centre of it all

At the centre of 60 acres of working agricultural land in the Western Ghats sits a 5-acre registered agro-tourism estate with five premium member cottages. It exists entirely to serve the people who own the surrounding land.

The resort does not have guests in the conventional sense. It has 110 founding estate members who own the land surrounding it, and for whom everything here was built.


Farm-to-Table,
every season

Named for the historic Deccan trade routes that once passed through these Ghats. Every ingredient sourced from within the estate or within 15 kilometres. Kolhapuri, Malvani, and Varadi cuisine cooked to the rhythm of the harvest calendar.

Full glass walls. A Sahyadri panorama. A kitchen that knows exactly which parcel your produce came from.

Arriving feels like
returning home

You call or message 24 hours in advance. By the time you arrive, your cottage is prepared, your parcel is ready for a walk-through, your table is reserved, and every experience you want is confirmed and waiting.

DGCA-compliant helipad on the grounds. Pune to Velhe in under 20 minutes.

Built for members.
Remembered for generations.

Celebrity
Box Cricket League

Picture your family spending a weekend afternoon on a proper box cricket ground, playing alongside names you recognise from Indian cricket and entertainment. This is not a resort activity. It is a genuine league — teams formed from the estate member community, fixtures scheduled, founding celebrity members playing alongside resident families season after season.

For children growing up on the estate, it becomes the highlight of every season — the event they plan for weeks in advance and remember for the rest of their lives.

Kids
Farmer Programme

Most children who grow up in Indian cities have never seen a seed become food, negotiated a price, or understood where the vegetables on their plate came from. The Astral Kids Farmer Programme is a curated workshop series — arranged on demand — designed to teach them exactly that.

Three age tracks: Little Farmers (5–8), Earth Lab (9–13), and Young Builders (14–17). Youngest learn soil and crops. Older children go deeper — water cycles, seasonal farming, rural economics. Young Builders covers agri-business thinking and the history of the landscape they are standing in.

Fort Treks &
Heritage Trails

Rajgad, Torna, and Sinhgad — three of the most significant Maratha-era hill forts in Maharashtra — are all visible from the Astral Hills estate on a clear morning. They are not a backdrop. They are the reason this valley matters.

A resident scholar-historian is on campus every weekend, and each month the estate runs a guided trek to one of the three forts — through the passes and across the terrain that Shivaji Maharaj once commanded. Members who have done the Rajgad trek in the post-monsoon season, when the Ghats are still green and the air is cold by evening, come back for it every year.

Astral
Wellness

Most wellness programmes at resorts work on a fixed schedule — you arrive, fit into what is running, and leave with a pleasant but generic experience. Astral Wellness works the other way. When an estate member wants a wellness experience — a Panchakarma detox, a specific Ayurvedic therapy, a private yoga immersion, or a guided meditation retreat — they book it through the concierge. A specialist therapist is arranged for their visit. The session, duration, and intensity are built entirely around the member.

Full range of classical treatments — Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Nasya, Basti, and Panchakarma protocols — alongside curated yoga and guided meditation designed for the specific quality of silence the Velhe valley offers. The herbal garden on the estate supplies every treatment ingredient.

At 850 metres elevation with near-zero light pollution, the sky above Velhe is among the clearest within reach of Pune. The estate's professional telescope installation opens on moonless nights through the winter and post-monsoon seasons.

The monthly Astral Nights gathering — held on the full moon, when the valley is lit silver and the forts are visible without a torch — has become one of the most anticipated events on the estate calendar. There is no experience quite like watching the Milky Way arch over Rajgad from your own land.

Managed
Farm Services

When you own a land parcel at Astral Hills, you do not need to be a farmer. The resort's permanently employed Velhe Taluka farming team manages your parcel through the full seasonal cycle — soil preparation, kharif sowing in June, first harvest by October, rabi cultivation through winter, and year-round maintenance. You do not need to be present for any of it.

What you receive is a monthly harvest box — labelled from your specific parcel's survey number — delivered to your Pune or Mumbai address. The farm produce also feeds directly into the Rajdhani Table kitchen, meaning that when you dine at the resort, there is a real chance you are eating from your own parcel.
