Honest Answers

Questions, answered.

The stuff people ask us on WhatsApp every day — answered upfront so you can book your getaway with confidence.

Where exactly is Iperfarm located? +
We're a working farm near Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Easy to reach from anywhere:
  • 🚗 20 minutes from Tirupati (railway, bus, airport)
  • 🚆 90 minutes from Chennai
  • ✈️ 3 hours from Bangalore
We pick you up from your arrival station and drop you back — included in the price.
What if it rains during my trip? +
Some of our best memories happen in the rain — wet mango orchards are honestly magical. But if there's a heavy storm, we shift the temples and farming around it, give you covered cooking sessions, story-telling evenings, and waterfalls that turn glorious after rain. We never cancel a trip for weather — just reshape it. If you want to reschedule due to monsoon worries, just tell us 48 hours ahead and we'll move your dates free of charge.
Is this suitable for kids and elderly family members? +
Yes — most of our groups include both. Kids under 8 stay free and absolutely love the animals, mud, and bullock carts. Just so you know upfront — this is a farmer-style tent camp, not a hotel. For elderly guests we slow every activity to their pace and skip steep walks. Tell us about anyone with mobility needs during booking — we plan accordingly.
What's the food situation? Vegetarian? Allergies? +
All meals are fresh, home-cooked, traditional Andhra & South Indian vegetarian food — straight from our farm and local kitchens. Banana-leaf meals, hot rotis off the chulha, sambar-rice, pickle, ghee, jaggery sweets. We can also do mildly-spiced versions for kids and international guests. Tell us about allergies or restrictions in the booking form (Jain, gluten-free, no onion/garlic, etc.) and we'll handle it.
What's the stay actually like? Tents? Toilets? +
Canvas tents with a mattress, fresh linens, and a zip door. Clean outdoor toilets and bucket baths with warm water. No cottages, no AC, no room service — this is a farmer-style tent camp. Simple, clean, and real.
Will I have Wi-Fi and mobile network? +
Yes — we have fiber WiFi at the common shelter and good 4G coverage (Jio and Airtel work well). You can take a work call if you must. But we gently encourage putting the phone away — that's half the magic of the trip. For Work-from-Farm guests on longer stays, the WiFi is genuinely Zoom-grade.
How do I pay? Is it safe? +
After you fill the booking form, we'll WhatsApp you to confirm availability — no payment is taken at booking. Once confirmed, we'll send you a UPI ID or bank transfer details. We typically take 50% to lock the date and the remaining 50% on arrival. Real humans, real bank account, real GST invoice on request.
What's the cancellation policy? +
Life happens. Cancel up to 48 hours before your trip and we refund 100%, no questions asked. Less than 48 hours, we can move your trip to another date free of charge — or refund 50% if you can't reschedule. We're a small business but we're not cruel — talk to us if something genuinely urgent comes up.
Can we come as a group / can my company book a retreat? +
Absolutely — groups of 10+ get special pricing. We've hosted engineering teams, family reunions, friend circles, and even a couple of small weddings. Tell us your group size and theme on WhatsApp and we'll craft a custom plan — outdoor games, campfire dinners, team-building farming challenges, the works.
I'm an international traveler. Is this doable for me? +
Yes — we've hosted guests from France, Germany, the US, and Japan. English-speaking guide, airport pickup from Chennai or Tirupati, visa-friendly invoicing, and mild-spiced food versions — all included if you tell us in advance. Your harvest can also be shipped internationally (you pay just the courier cost). Pick "International / Custom Itinerary" in the booking form.
What should I pack? +
Light cotton clothes, a hat, slip-on sandals, a swimsuit or extra clothes for the waterfall, basic toiletries, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and an open mind. We'll provide cotton kurtas and straw hats during the farming day. Leave the high heels and silk dupattas at home.
Is it pet-friendly? +
Well-behaved dogs are welcome — we have farm dogs they'll love. Just tell us during booking. We may ask for a small additional cleaning fee depending on tent setup.
