KUMAON

Uttarakhand is a state where growing tourism has tilted the balance between 'ecology' and 'economy'. How did the state that nurtured the Chipko Movement into a country's consciousness. experience some of the worst flash floods in the past decade and possibly, independent India?

Join us as we journey into the lap of the Great Himalayas to find out how people's movements are still shaping their own journey and that of the region's flora and fauna.

Experiences to savour:

• A day trek up to a sub-alpine meadow
  
• Learning the role of local communities in managing their forests and ecosystem
  
• The joy of getting your hands muddy and learning from farmers on organic farms
  
• Insightful conservations under clear, star-studded skies
  
• Trying to keep up with the bird life, both local and migratory
  
• Debating the many meanings of 'development'
• Conversations with locals, and sharing stories and experiences
  
• Understanding how a women's collective has changed the lives of many
  

Please check the attached brochure for the detailed itinerary. The journey begins and ends in Kathgodam. The group will meet in Kathgodam at 07:30 on Friday, 08th April, and leave for an organic farm in the village of Dogaon after a quick breakfast. For your return on Saturday, 16th April, please plan your trains/buses from Kathgodam after 20:00 as we will only arrive by 18:00 from Chaukori. Please also plan your trains/flights from Delhi so that you have ample time to reach the station or airport. The station is in the city centre while the airport is an hour away.

CONFIRMING YOUR PARTICIPATION

Please confirm your participation at the earliest by sending in the advance amount. Train tickets are very difficult to lay hands on closer to the holidays, while flight tickets tend to cost more closer to the date. We always recommend train travel as it helps keep your own, and our collective, carbon footprint low.
