With the monsoons nearing, what are we most excited for? Yes of course, some respite from the grueling summer heat, but also... FIREFLIES SEASON! 🧚🧚♀️🧚♂️
We’re spending the pre-monsoons camping at a secluded campsite in Bhandardara, on the banks of Lake Arthur. A weekend filled with boat rides, sunset swimming, campfire games, and chasing fireflies deep into the forest ✨⛺️🏊♂️🌅
To make the long journey comfortable, we’re traveling from Bombay and back in an AC bus.
Grab your friends and pick your weekend 🏃🏼♂️

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill origami workshop.
When someone says ‘origami’, we time-travel to birds & boats folded as kids. But the science of origami has applications that go from nanobots to outer space!
Come experience a tiny bit of that scale with us, in what might just change the way you look at paper ever again!
This is an opportunity to do something calming and out of the ordinary on your weekend! While you’re at it, sip on some delicious coffee, grab a snack, listen to your fav music, and let the kami calm you 🤌
🪑We have limited entry so hurry up!

We've been climbing this plateau for almost a decade, and while we've scaled many more mountains in that time, this one's still our go-to night hike 🌙✨
The moderately challenging climb, and the beautiful forest exit makes for the perfect introduction to sunrise treks. The lack of forts, temples, and historical significance also makes this place less frequented by the seasoned trekkers.
Drop us a DM and maybe you can join us on our next batch? 🌿🌄🍃
