THE STILL

Saturday  ·  Afternoon

Where Ouro comes from.

The spice trail

Black pepper vines, banana palms, cashew and coconut groves. Crush a leaf and smell the spice where it grows.

The copper still

Not cashew season, so the still runs on water this time. Same wood fire, same copper. A very pure rehearsal, if a mild one.

05 / 10

Saturday  ·  After the trail

A natural pool in the middle of the green.


Cool, clear water on a working farm in South Goa. A long, lazy swim before anything else happens.

Saturday  ·  Late night

Scorpions, then the moon.


With those who know where to look, we find real scorpions glowing in the dark. Then one last look at a thin sliver of moon before we turn in.

Dudhsagar Plantation  ·  Our story

Never meant to be a homestay.

1984

Ajit Malkarnekar and his wife Doris began with land that had no water, no electricity and no trees. Just a plan to restore the soil and grow food sustainably.

Years later

Their son Ashok studied environmental economics in Germany and came home, not to run a resort but to continue the philosophy.

Today

Fruit, spices, medicinal plants and cashew, which becomes feni. Much of what you eat here grows here. You sleep on it, and Ouro is made on it.

The Feni Trail

See you at
the next one.


This one is booked. Follow MAP for what comes next.

Yess, I am interested in the next one.

Leave us your number on WhatsApp and we'll tell you when the next Feni Trail is happening.

THE FENI TRAIL, IN SHORT

An offbeat Goa, beyond the beaches.

The Feni Trail is a Moving Arts Program original: a private, personalised Goa experience for a small group, hosted on one working farm in hidden South Goa. No crowds, no itinerary to plan, just the land, the drink it makes and music under the sky.

What is The Feni Trail?

An offbeat, invite-only Goa farm experience: one day and one night at Dudhsagar Plantation with a river trail, the spice plantation, the copper still where Ouro cashew feni is made, a natural pool, Elvis Lobo live, barbecue with feni cocktails and a glowing-scorpion night walk.

Where in Goa is it?

At Dudhsagar Plantation in Karmane village, Cormonem, Sanguem: the hidden green interior of South Goa near Mollem National Park, far from the beach crowds.

How do I join the next one?

Each edition is for a selected few and goes out by invitation. Tap Yess, I'm interested above, or message us on WhatsApp at +91 98496 90077, and we'll tell you when the next Feni Trail is happening.

Is it a personalised Goa experience?

Yes. Groups are small and everything is organised for you, from the meals and the trail to the live music, so it feels like being hosted on a friend's farm rather than a tour.
