[Journeys With Meaning]

Hi, :)

This May, Journeys with Meaning invites you to escape the crazy summer heat and join us in the cool heights of the Great Himalayas!

 

It's time to let yourself wander in the gorgeous forests of Uttarakhand, wake up to the sight of the mighty Himalayas and experience the forest- based lifestyle of the Kumaoni people. Join us on a fun-filled 7 day visit to the picturesque landscapes of Uttarakhand. 

Trip dates:
May 17th - May 23rd

 (please see attached brochure for the detailed itinerary

​. Also, please note that the brochure has a minor error with regards to the dates, the trip ends on the 23rd evening and not on the 24th as mentioned in the brochure.​

Rs. 30,800/-  

The trip begins & ends in Kathgodam. The price includes all your fixed expenses (please read the brochure for more) from Kathgodam and back.

 For your return on Saturday, May 23rd, please plan your buses/trains from Kathgodam in the late evening (after 20:00) as we will arrive there from Sarmoli by 18:00. Also, do plan your flights/trains the next day in a way that you have ample time to reach the airport or railway station. The airport is an hour away from the city centre. The railway station is in the city centre. 

CONFIRMING YOUR PARTICIPATION

Please confirm your participation at the earliest.  Flight tickets tend to cost more closer to the travel dates, especially in the holidays.

The last date for confirming your participation, by sending in your advance payment, is MAY 10TH.

EARTH-FRIENDLY TRAVEL

Since flying may be unavoidable for many because of the distance & time involved, we'll try and do a tree-planting session in Uttarakhand, which can help offset your carbon emissions. Alternatively, you could make a contribution to The Sapling Project in Mumbai - they're doing great work!  You could also buy some saplings of local species and plant them yourself. We will also try doing a carbon audit of all the road travel that will happen on the trip, which you can choose to offset similarly.  

However, if you have the time, we always recommend train travel over flying as it helps keep our carbon footprint low.

GROUP SIZE

We're limiting the group size to 14 people (12 participants + Vinod & Madhur, the 2 trip facilitators for this journey). People are already starting to confirm, so please let us know about your participation at the earliest. 

Looking forward to your joining us... :)
