A 10-acre family farm in the heart of Mithila — where fruit orchards, fish ponds and folk art come together for a slow, soulful village holiday.
Our Story
Mithila Meadows is a family-run farm spread across 10 fertile acres in Madhubani, the homeland of the world-renowned Mithila (Madhubani) folk art. For generations, our land has nurtured the fruits, fish and grain of north Bihar.
Today, we open our gates to travellers who want to slow down — to walk barefoot through mango orchards at sunrise, learn to fish in our ponds, sip nimbu-paani made from lemons plucked steps away, and fall asleep under a sky thick with stars.
Our Orchards
Most of our land is given to fruit. Walk through shaded groves where seasons announce themselves with colour and scent.

Six Fish Ponds
Six spring-fed ponds dot the property — quiet, lily-strewn, alive with rohu, catla and mrigal. Mornings here begin with mist on the water and the soft slap of a fisherman's net.

Stay & Experience
No screens, no schedules — just farm rhythms, regional flavours, and the living art of Mithila all around you.
Stay in our new red-tile-roofed guest house, set among litchi and mango trees with verandahs that catch the morning sun.
Pond-fresh fish grilled on an open flame, bhaat, dal, chokha and seasonal sabzi — served on banana leaves and brass thalis.
Guided morning walks through mango and lemon groves — pluck, taste, learn, breathe.
Marigold, rose and celosia beds tucked between the mango trees — picked daily for our morning puja and your dinner thali.
Clear village skies, a crackling fire, and Maithil folk songs from our local musicians.
A quiet pond-side spot of your own with rod, line, bait and a chair — for an unhurried morning or evening of fishing. Open to day-visitors too.

Three days at Mithila Meadows felt like a month of rest. We picked mangoes at dawn, learned to paint a fish in Madhubani style at noon, and ate the best dal-chawal of our lives at night. It's the village holiday I didn't know I was missing.

Guest Reviews
"My kids didn't ask for the phone even once. They were too busy chasing chickens, picking lemons and learning to throw a fishing net. The mud cottages are gorgeous and surprisingly cool inside."
"The mango season visit was a dream. We came for two nights and stayed for five. The hosts treat you like family — and the Madhubani painting workshop with their local artist was the highlight of the trip."
"As a solo traveller from Mumbai, I was nervous about rural Bihar. Mithila Meadows changed everything I thought I knew. Safe, warm, beautifully run — and the fish curry alone is worth the train ride."
"We did a heritage trip across Mithila and ended at the farm. Dawn walks through the lemon orchard, bullock-cart ride to a weaver's village, bonfire under the stars. Authentic without being staged."
"Monsoon visit — pure green everywhere, ponds brimming, jamun trees dropping fruit constantly. Wifi is patchy (which is the point) and one evening was rained out, but the food and hospitality more than made up."
"Travelled with my elderly parents — they were wary of a 'farm stay' but ended up loving every moment. Clean rooms, hot home-cooked meals, slow mornings on the pond bunds with tea. Will return."
