What we do

Nannilam Eco Village is a 125-acre residential eco-living project near Salem, Tamil Nadu, perched atop a scenic hill, offering breathtaking views.
Our eco-village is a model that blends Ecological Sustainability (ECO) with the simplicity and closeness of Village life (Village).
People here enjoy living in a fruit forest, eating fresh food from their organic gardens, living in beautifully crafted natural homes and houses while participating in workshops, events, and gatherings that help to build a community.
Nannilam is built on the principles of Nilam, Valam, and Nalam – Health, Wealth, and Soil. Each action here reflects a deeper connection to these essential elements. Here, the land nurtures both body and soul, offering peace, well-being, and a sense of purpose.
Whether you’re seeking a fresh start with eco-living or yearning to reconnect with nature, our community is open to all. At Nannilam, you’ll find not just a home, but a lifestyle that enriches your heart, mind, and spirit.
