Dhamangaon Village

Abhayanand Agro Tourism

Reconnect with Nature. Revive Your Spirit.

Welcome to a Living Experience of Rural India

Located just 20 km from Ellora Caves & Grishneshwar Temple, in the serene embrace of Dhamangaon Village, Abhayanand Agro Tourism Center invites you to rediscover life through simplicity, soil, and soul. Spread across 10 acres of owned land (with an additional 22 acres on lease), this government-registered agro tourism center (MTDC Reg. No: प्रा.का.औ/07/2020) is not a resort—it’s a rural sanctuary, a farm-based spiritual learning space, and a window to India’s disappearing village heritage.

Agro Tourism: A Pathway Back to Ourselves

“Agro Tourism is not only an invaluable way of living—but a path to knowing and experiencing ourselves.”

When we hear the word “agro tourism”, we don’t just think of farms—we remember childhood, village stories, wholesome food, and human values. At a time when modern life is pulling us further from our roots, Abhayanand Agro Tourism gives you the rare opportunity to pause, reconnect, and reflect.

Here, life is guided by nature. Meals are farm-fresh. Conversations are in Sanskrit. Mornings start with yoga, and evenings echo with devotional chants.

This isn’t escape.
It’s return—to your senses, your soil, your stillness.

Nakshatra Park – Where Stars Meet Soil
  • At Abhayanand Agro Tourism, the ancient wisdom of the cosmos finds its place on Earth through the thoughtfully designed Nakshatra Park — a sacred space where Vedic astrology, nature, and meditation align.

    Carefully laid out in concentric circles around a serene water body, this unique park is designed as per the 27 Nakshatras (constellations) of Indian astrology. Each planting pit represents a Nakshatra, with a specific tree or plant associated with its cosmic energy — as per ancient Ayurvedic and astrological texts.
