Staycation Goals for Gypsy Souls – A Mudhouse Homestay in Bir Billing
We had been invited to visit the Tigarth Art Festival across Himachal Pradesh. In this process we met Frank Schlichtmann, the curator of the art project In the Woods-2 or ITW-2. He also runs a lodge 4Rooms and a cafe 4Tables at Gunehar. But there is a lot more happening here. We are plain lucky that we got to witness Frank’s mind blowing work in bringing together the diverse concepts of art and hospitality.

We have heard of poetry. But In The Woods – 2 brings us ‘poetree’. This is an art exhibition with a difference.

It is to experience through eyes, ears and the other senses.Example – ‘poetree’ are trees in Bir forest that recite poetry or play music. Only if you want to listen.
