Hiking in Arunachala countryside

Even though the area close to the Hill is getting increasingly urbanised, there is still a plethora of unspoilt land in relative proximity to the Hill. The below photographs are of a day's hiking outing on land about eight kilometres southeast of Arunachala. From my house at the side of the Arunachala Samudra Eri, I can view hills in the distance and have always been eager to one day visit and investigate them. 

Goats are still very much part of the rural countryside

Pretty view from the Hills I was hiking

Land is Government Reserved Land

10 Kms from Arunachala

These are photographs of the land which is around 10 Kms from Arunachala. The hills are reserve forest land which belongs to the Government.

This land has NOT been cultivated and there are no agricultural water tanks - it is just sitting quietly - waiting! Depending on your wish up to 30 acres are available at Rupees 2.5 Lakhs an acre (One Lakh is U.S.$ Rs.2,500). Water is plentiful.

I know this area as I have been out in the hills behind the land for walks. Its so peaceful, so quiet, really lovely. Totally different energy for closer to Tiruvannamalai - and I think an ideal place to have an ashram or facility.

From the land there is a very nice darshan of Arunachala. (p.s. The car in front of Arunachala is the one we were using).

25 Kms from Arunachala Hill

All the land in this sequence of photographs are part of an estate up for sale. The Estate has three large agricultural water tanks, a large warehouse, underground water pipe system, a private road going through the land - which all belongs to the Estate. The entire Estate is surrounded by a Government forest range - so totally isolated, private and cannot be comprised.

Because of its position, Arunachala cannot be seen from the land. In all cases the Hills extend hundred of miles and are part of Government protected Reserve Forests.

The possibilities of purchase are:
35 acres
55 acres
Or 90 acres

The total size of the estate is 90 acres - so if you were able to buy it all, everything in the photos as far as you can see, except for the Government Hills would belong to your organisation. However you DONT have to buy the whole of the estate. You can cherry pick.

Regardless of how much or how little you were to buy the price is the same i.e. Rupees 2.7 Lakhs per acre (i.e. One Lakh Rupees is U.S.$2,500)

The water table throughout the land is excellent.

The next couple of photographs show the private road which runs through the 90 acre estate.

The below is part of the excellent irrigation system on the land, which comprises three very large agricultural tanks and many ancillary smaller supply tanks. There is also an underground pipe system supplying the whole estate.

The land has been well maintained and is in impeccable condition. Even now most of the land is under cultivation.
