Thriving Miyawaki Forest near Hyderabad
Regeneration and Biodiversity
What began as barren, rocky land in 2015 is now a thriving Miyawaki forest, with native trees reaching nearly 40 feet and a remarkable diversity of birds and wildlife.
A decade of patient regeneration has created something increasingly rare — a living landscape where guests can wander shaded paths, discover nature and enjoy the quiet seclusion of a private estate.
The Green Plan
Our Green Plan began with a simple belief: nature should be restored, not merely landscaped. Creating Miyawaki forests near Hyderabad would lead to also nurturing biodiversity and allowing the land to regenerate, we set out to transform a barren landscape into a living ecosystem.
Today, that vision shapes the character of Arbor — a private estate where nature is not simply a backdrop, but part of the experience.
The first three Miyawaki forest clusters were planted in 2015, with thousands of native saplings growing closely together. Over the following decade, these young plantations developed into dense forests, with trees reaching approximately 40 feet. What began as an effort to restore barren land has become one of Arbor’s most distinctive natural features.
What was once exposed land is now a landscape of shade, birdsong, bio-diversity and natural discovery — a transformation best told through photographs.
Land alive with Bio-diversity
As the forests matured, life returned. Arbor is now home to approximately 97 documented bird species, alongside butterflies, insects and other wildlife.
For guests, this biodiversity reveals itself in quiet moments — birdsong at dawn, butterflies among the trees and the pleasure of discovering something new on every walk.
