What people say about Mud Mountain


"Inspiring on so many levels." Philippa Rees, author of 'Involution'.

"I learned so much. She's a sharp thinker with a unique perspective and an inspiring story." Keli Garza on Amazon.

"Atulya has the writers' gift of painting images with words." James Alfieri on Amazon.

"This is a valuable addition to any self builders' library."
Modernafrican on Amazon.
Back in 2011, Atulya K Bingham ran out of money and found herself camping alone on Mud Mountain in southern Turkey. The adventure changed her relationship with nature profoundly. Eventually, she built a house out of mud, installed solar power, and lived mortgage free for five years. Then in 2016 things began to go wrong once more...

The Mud Mountain Blog started out as a personal log, but over the years grew into something else. Something that reached far wider. The magic of Mud Mountain touched others. This is an edited compilation of those Mud Mountain Blog articles.

Don't you get lonely?
It was the question I heard most often whenever someone was intrepid enough to pay me a visit. Woman, off-grid, alone?

Workmen and hell
There is a special corner of hell reserved for tradespeople, and it’s littered with broken promises and half-finished porches....

How it all began...
Why would anyone move into a tent and live on a mountain for eight months?
Something has to have gone wrong.
