There has been a widening and concerning disconnect between humans and the earth in current times, given the nature of work and our lifestyles. This longterm break from the natural elements has resulted in compromised health and wellbeing in human beings. Kaff Zanjira works at the crossroads of environment and wholesome living. It is a project of Keeday Makuday Foundation. Our aim is to provide a space for people to reconnect with the soil and in turn, with themselves.

Matu Matu Matha is a staycation for the weary soul. We offer residents the chance to live closer and in tandem with nature and serve the rural community by volunteering on different projects.The Kumaoni phrase ‘Matu Matu’ means ‘slow down’ and ‘Matha’ is a monastery. Thus, we are a monastery of slowing down.

Located in Champawat district of Uttarakhand, village Doodh Pokhara is in the lap of nature. Here, on the outskirts of an old forest you can expect to awaken to birdsong and find quiet solitude. Matu Matu Matha is an old Kumaoni house designed for co-living and co-working. This is no temporary retreat, it is an experience of slow, balanced and international living.
