A little lookback at our Monsoon Trek

Muddy trails, monsoon greens, fresh mountain air and a community that makes every adventure feel a little more special.

Our FBH community stepped out, slowed down and explored the forest together — one trail, many stories, and plenty of moments worth remembering.

Here’s to more trails, more learning and more time in the wild.

Can you build a home in a forest without taking away from the very nature that surrounds it?

At Forest by the Hills, we believe that a home in the wilderness should feel like an extension of its surroundings—not an interruption.

From working around existing trees and understanding the natural landscape to designing spaces that coexist with the forest and its inhabitants, thoughtful design can help us live closer to nature, responsibly.

Our latest blog explores what it truly takes to build a home in the forest while respecting the land it stands on.

Because when you choose to live amidst nature, you don’t simply build a home—you learn to belong.

What does it truly mean to build a home in the forest? From working with the land to understanding its natural rhythms, hear from a permaculturist as she shares her journey of creating a forest home that exists in harmony with nature.
Her story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes, building a home isn’t about changing the landscape around us—but learning to belong to it.

There’s always something new to discover when you’re surrounded by nature. This month, our FBH community is stepping out, exploring deeper and experiencing the forest in new ways.

From muddy monsoon trails and identifying the trees around us, to spotting feathered friends and learning about our slithering neighbours — every activity is an opportunity to pause, explore and connect with the world around us.

Here’s a little sneak peek into a month filled with curiosity, adventure, learning and plenty of wild moments.

Come curious. Leave connected. 💚

The rains have arrived, and with them, the forest takes on a life of its own. 🌧️🌿
Everything feels a little greener, a little fresher and a little more alive. The sound of rain through the trees, droplets resting on every leaf and the quiet magic that comes with watching nature embrace a new season.
At Forest by the Hills, monsoon is a reminder to slow down, step outside and simply take it all in.
Here’s to the season of rain, renewal and all things green.

It was a fantastic launch at FBH Cafe Earth on Saturday 1st August. Rain Gods were in full attendance much before the customers and community members could grace the occassion. We thank all the new customers who braved the rains and turned up to collect their allotment kits. Prahlad Kakkar, our mentor graced the occasion and took us down the memory lane when he first got associated with the project. Our founders Sandip, Mukhopadhay, Kunal Sarin and Sangram Surve spoke about the project and reinforced our beliefs in co-existing with the forest. We thank the community members to also turn up and speak about their experiences over the last 2 years building their homes in the forest. And lastly we had the happy customers who got beautifully handcrafted allotment kits. For the records we already sold 25 % of the inventory between the pre-launch phase and the launch date. Thank you everyone for a wonderful launch.
