The Ecovillage
Located on 5.5 acres near Dhokshet Lake, close to Khopoli, our eco-village is designed and built using principles of permaculture, a sustainable design system that mimics natural ecosystems.
This means we grow food in a way that enriches the soil, build with natural materials, minimise waste and support the living ecosystem of plants, animals birds & insects around us
Learn more about our eco-village and our journey over the past 4 years to make it a reality.
Our Community Principles
As a community we follow these four principles to ensure that our decisions are guided and inspired by these principles.
Pursue biodiversity, the preservation of ecosystems, energy conservation and renewable energy using the principles of permaculture as our north star. Create the infrastructure for the land to thrive and for each season to nourish and grow the resources and landscape.

Share the challenges and learnings we've gone through to inspire others to live more sustainably and learn from us. Create a community centre as an avenue for wider communities and visitors to become a part of the Whispering Waters family
