Make your stay at Fagunia even more memorable with our curated, hands-on experiences.
These are not typical “activities,” but intimate, slow, and meaningful moments—designed to help you connect with good food, nature, and the joy of simple living. Each experience is personally hosted by us, and created with the same care and intention that defines life at Fagunia.
You could spend an evening enjoying freshly made wood-fired pizzas under the open sky, learn to bake wholesome bread from scratch, share stories over a relaxed BBQ, explore the mountains on a guided walk, or simply immerse yourself in the finer details of slow living.
All experiences are exclusively available to in-house guests, require prior booking, and are subject to availability.
We will continue to add more experiences over time. Do check back or ask us during your stay to see what’s available.
WOOD FIRED PIZZA
Duration & Seats: Approximately 1-2 hrs; Up to 6 guests per Firing
Includes 4 freshly made vegetarian pizzas. Additional pizzas: ₹500 per pizza. Chicken topping: +₹100 per pizza. Pepperoni topping: +₹200 per pizza.
What Makes This Special
This is not just a meal—it is an experience.
Spend a relaxed evening as we light up our handmade, wood-fired dome pizza oven, built by us from scratch in a traditional Tuscan style. Using specially sourced wood and slow firing techniques, we prepare authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas right in front of you.
Aditi and Anil will personally host the session—preparing the dough, assembling the pizzas, and sharing stories along the way. Guests are welcome to join in, try their hand at shaping the dough, and customise their own toppings if they wish.
It is a warm, interactive experience—good food, good conversation, and a chance to slow down and enjoy the process as much as the meal.
About Your Hosts
Aditi and Anil, founders of Fagunia, have always loved authentic Neapolitan pizza. What began as a dream turned into a hands-on project when they designed and built their own wood-fired oven with the help of friends.
Today, they love sharing this passion with guests—bringing together craft, food, and community in a truly unique setting.
