Terms & Conditions

The terms that apply when you visit, book, or inquire with Tamarind Valley Collective.

Last updated 2026-07-27.

Who runs this site

Tamarind Valley Collective ("TVC", "we", "us") is a brand operated by Syntropic Farm Management Private Limited, a company incorporated in India.

By using this site (tvc.farm) or booking a visit, stay, trek, or event with us, you agree to these terms.

What we offer

TVC hosts day visits, overnight camping, guided treks, and hosted events (retreats, workshops, and camps run by outside groups) on our land in the Melagiri Hills. Pricing and inclusions for each are published on their respective pages and are current as of the last update to that page — always confirm exact pricing and availability with us directly before your visit, since rates can change.

How booking works

We don't currently take bookings or payment through this website. Instead:

  1. You send an inquiry — through the form on the relevant Visit page, via Contact, or over WhatsApp/phone.
  2. Our team gets back to you to confirm availability, exact pricing, and dates.
  3. Once confirmed, payment is arranged directly with our team (bank transfer or UPI).

A booking is only confirmed once our team has acknowledged it and payment (or an agreed deposit) has been received — an inquiry alone doesn't guarantee availability.

On-site conduct and safety

TVC borders the Thaggatti Reserve Forest and is elephant territory. Guests must follow safety guidance from our team and local in-charge at all times, particularly on treks — see Trekking Trails. TVC is not liable for injury, loss, or damage arising from a guest's failure to follow safety guidance or from participation in farm activities, hikes, or events at their own discretion.

Guests are expected to respect the land, the community living here, and other visitors. We may decline or end a visit for behavior that puts people, animals, or the land at risk.

Cancellations and refunds

See our Cancellation & Refund Policy for the specific terms that apply to paid bookings.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time as our offerings or policies change; the "last updated" date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bangalore, Karnataka.
