The village is set on a 12-acre farm Some of India's richest people are paying $150 a night to live like peasants at a "native village" in the southern state of Karnataka. The village, Hessargatta - just outside India's IT capital, Bangalore - is designed to encourage the preservation of some of India's rural traditions. It offers visitors the chance to qualify in tasks like milking cows and looking after the other animals, such as turkeys, ducks, chickens and dogs.
Designed to be environmentally-friendly, the village swimming pool is in fact a pond, and kept clean by aquatic plants rather than chemicals. The plants feed on the skin tissue shed when swimming. There is also an open area, on which residents play traditional village games and fly kites, and a temple.
