The proposed site for the Altaghat Project is on a coffee plantation situated in the Cardomin Hills of southern India's Western Ghats. Various varieties of coffee are grown on the plantation, including arabica and kaveri. Between forty to fifty acres are presently under cultivation. The plantation experiences two wet seasons, first the southwest monsoon from June to August, and second the northeast rains in November. Depending on the weather, the maturity of the plants, and the proper application of fertilizers, yields can range from 1 to 8 tons per acre. It is an awesome location for eco-tourism and wildlife watching.

The plantation operates its own nursery. Mature plants can be up to six feet tall. In spring, when they bloom, the smell of the blossoms can be almost overpowering. Harvest occurs in December and January. For coffee drinkers and other visitors to the proposed site, observing the plantation in its various seasons can be an incredible experience. Indian coffee is every bit as good as the tea. Add exotic flora and fauna, and there is nothing to which to compare it! This is the perfect environment for a women's shelter.
