In the Forest,
By the Lake
Project Karjat @ Waverla Karjat
Project Karjat was conceived by us as a place for our friends and family to have a nice time in nature!
Founder
From Tejas Mathur
We are not a resort; we are a private property with some cabins in the forest that we have built for our friends and family and now want to share with nature enthusiasts and people who appreciate fine forest living responsibly.
Project Karjat was conceived by us as a place for our friends and family to have a nice time in nature and as a shelter from any future pandemics for our loved ones.
A place where we can make our future generations interact with nature, learn to admire it, and conserve it in its true sense. The peaceful ambience and raw nature of the place have inspired us in our lives in a very positive way, and we hope that you experience the same with your loved ones.

Forest Living, as it is!
Being on the edge of a forest has its pros and cons. Spraying the surroundings in a place like ours would not only kill the insects and birds eating them, but it would also show effects throughout the food chain of the forest, thus reducing the insect, bird, and mammal populations in the beautiful forest around us. The absence of birds chirping, fireflies, and forest sounds such as crickets and Cicadas would render the forest lifeless.
We believe in using local organic remedies for the same, which might not be as effective as the sterile environment that DDT usage can create. We believe that we are the guests, and the animals and insects of the forest are the owners.
Our Inspiration
The trees and flora on the property have been selected for a special reason, even though it looks unruly and unknown to human eyes. These plants are of extreme importance to the local insects, caterpillars, birds, and mammals. We believe in growing trees that are endemic to the Sahyadri mountain range and hence useful for the local fauna.
All the wood, clay tiles, and metal used in our cabins are reused from old houses in nearby villages. The swimming pools are made from natural stones found in local quarries, all of which are within a 10-kilometer radius of us. All this has been kept in mind to reduce our carbon footprint in the process of creating this place.
