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 October 10.

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 

​Forest First​

 

​Samithi 

​

in 

​Wayanad, Kerala

 - they're 

​

good 

​

​friends of ours and ​

doing great work

​ in conserving endangered species of local plants​

!  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 + 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... :) 
the JwM team
