INDIA Gungegiri Estate

The British brothers WL Crawford and CS Crawford cultivated coffee for the first time in Gungegiri in 1890. The hills at the Sangameshwar estate are a copious water source for numerous streams flowing through the farm hence the name ‘Ganga’. This fertile landscape is a haven for a large number of peacocks amongst other species.

Coffee is grown under indigenous species of trees like Atti (Fig), Basri, Neeroli for cultivation under filtered shade. The hill of Gungegiri acts like the northern star providing direction to forest trekkers .
