Forest in the fast lane

Kirti Karmarkar Anand and her husband, Anand Sundaram, have converted a little over half an acre (0.68 acres) of their 11-acre farm on the outskirts of Secunderabad (Telangana) into a dense forest of native trees using the Miyawaki method.
Conceived by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, this method involves planting around 300 native trees in a 1,000 sq ft area to make a dense, self-sustaining grove. Before planting, the local agro-climatic conditions, including soil quality, are studied. Three layers of greens – shrubs and undergrowth, medium-height trees and taller canopies – are integral components of the Miyawaki forests.

...picture yourself waking up in a luxurious cabin surrounded by the sound of peacocks and wild birds singing. ...during the morning hike you are greeted by the friendly staff who hands over some freshly plucked chikoo and advise you on the best route for a leisure stroll.
